I cannot say enough about the fun I’ve had with Christy and Mark since meeting for the first time at the beginning of 2011. Their engagement shoot was a lot of fun and it carried right on over to the wedding. It’s obvious how much they mean to each other and how important their friends and family are to their relationship as well. In fact, they entire congregation at the ceremony became part of the vows!

We met early in the afternoon at Mark’s parent’s house for everybody to get ready and to do the first look. This is my second time at Mark’s parent’s place and I’m wondering if I can pay them to use if for photoshoots! It’s beautiful – the deck, the large backyard and the pond! Once Mark got to see his bride for the first time we did some quick pictures with all the family and then headed off to Squire’s Castle for some “not so” formals!

The ceremony was a Pine Ridge Country Club in Willoughby. It’s a beautiful layout. The ceremony took place in front of a full house and ended with a standing ovation! Then it was time for dinner, drinks and a whole lot of dancing!
