E & M have been dating since college (yay Bowling Green!) and while I met E in the Art department, I didn’t have the pleasure of meeting M until now! Their love is so pure and sweet, how they look at each other and care for each other even in the normal moments. This was evident from the first moment, backpacking through a state park with a very excited toddler at their engagement session! Once it came time to tie the knot they knew they wanted their wedding to be Family centered (including all their amazing found family) and man they executed it! This backyard wedding was bursting at the seams with excitement, love, comfort, and support, making even me feel like I belonged. From the lovingly prepared homemade food to the meticulously decorated & landscaped backyard, you could feel the level of care and attention their loved ones put into it all. I cant wait for you guys to see these!!

We did take a quick drive over to the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library for their first look, so that they could have a little time just the two of them before the rest of the guests came. I love the golden dappled sun streaming through the trees mixed with the cool tones of the fall shadows. All of it just enhancing the peace, comfort, and love of the moment.

Enjoy! & tell your pet I said hiiiii!
