First, I have to say congrats to one of the sweetest couples I have ever worked with! Hayley and Daniel, you were a dream to photograph and I enjoyed every minute of the day! I've been friends with the groom since freshman year at Notre Dame, and this wedding was like an unofficial ND reunion! It was so great to see everyone! Daniel and Hayley met at Ohio State while Daniel was in dental school and Hayley was studying to be a hygienist.... they actually met because he saved her tooth at a student clinic after another dental student made a mistake! Bad for her tooth, but fabulous for finding her soul mate! :-) Their amazing courtship ended with a fairytale proposal on the 50 yard line of Ohio State's football stadium (a dream come true for any Buckeye fan) and in fact their proposal was such a wonderful story that it won them a honeymoon to Greece!
Daniel and Hayley, I hope you enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed taking them! Lots of love and happiness to you both always!
A sweet note from the groom to start the day....
Love the bouquet... and the red couch!
Love the Notre Dame/Ohio State Garter! And it had a piece from her Mother's veil!
Love this next one of the Groom!
Usually I am at the front of the aisle during the procession... but at this church I had to be in the middle and I love this next photo I was able to get from my middle aisle spot!
and this one too!
I love this next one... just the quiet peace of it
a few details of this FABULOUS historic church....
I loved the ceiling murals above the alter!
This little ring bearer was a little tired!
Oh I love this next one...
but I REALLY love this next one.... I think it is one of my favorites from the day! The light on her veil and the way she is looking at him is just perfect
I love this next series of them during the exchanging of the rings....
I was in the middle of changing spots in the church when I saw this view of the bride between the groomsmen and I just had to snap a photo quick!
Oh I love these next two....
LOVE IT!
This next one is too cute... one grandpa told the other, "Nice too meet you! I'm a grandpa too!"
I love this next one... Especially the fist pump in the back!
This next one is one of my favorites from the day... LOVE!
They hired a Columbus Trolley to take the bridal party to the reception!
and it even had a "Just Married" sign on the back!
Of course we had to do some at the 'shoe! A must for the Buckeyes!
I think this next one is too funny...
Another favorite from the day...
I couldn't decide between these next two... so I put them both!
I think this next one is too sweet!
So I'm usually an "outdoor photos" kinda gal... but... after I saw the fabulous red couch during the preparations... I knew we had to come back up to the honeymoon suite for a few fun ones!!
This next one is one of my favorites from the day.... love the light... the expressions... Hayley's ring... perfect.
Love this next one too...
Okay... this next one is ANOTHER favorite from the day!
I love everything about this next photo.... so perfect in so many ways... it just feels so loving to me.
we had to do a "sexy" one! :-)
and then we laughed at ourselves! :-)
love this next one.
beautiful light.... it was fighting with me during the cocktail hour... but I made it work with me!
One of the most beautiful head tables I have ever seen! Flowers and candles everywhere!
Grooms Cake! oh my goodness if I knew this was a possibility when my husband and I got married! How many people get to have the Blessed Mother (in GOLD no less) on their cake!
FABULOUS! A Notre Dame grad's dream!
a few more of the Groom's Cake... just so you could really see it's awesome-ness!
The Groom's gift to the bride.... an artist rendering of the photos of them from their engagement!
If you are a Buckeye Fan you will be extremely jealous after viewing these next photos.... yes that is right... the President of Ohio State... Mr. Gordon Gee himself was at the wedding!
O-H-I-O!
Toast time!
The bride had baskets of sandals in every size for sore dancing feet! brilliant! I almost wanted to change into a pair myself! :-)
The bride had a super fabulous change of shoes!
I love this next one...
Love it!
Love this next one...
I'll end on one of my favorites from the night!
Congrats again! Thanks for a fabulous night!
