shelby and tyler's fun loving summer fall wedding at leo's restaurant in howland ohio and ford nature center in mill creek park in youngstown ohio photographed by youngstown wedding photographer mae b photo-122.jpg

The first time I met Shelby and Tyler, it was at her sister’s wedding last Fall. I absolutely adore the Woodward’s, so I was suuuuper excited to spend another wedding day with them and meet Tyler’s family!

We started our day in Cortland, Ohio. When I got to the house where the girls were getting ready, it was a super chill scene. The house was filled with chatting, music, laughter and so much happiness. Shelby set me up with tons of beautiful details to photograph and a bunch of awesome women to be around. I also got to see the family dog again, Ellie, which I absolutely adore. She ended up following me around the house and out through the yard. Ummm, best photography assistant ever! Tyler also had a little pal with him, fully equipped with dapper dog attire. Just another reason why I adore this couple :]

The ceremony took place at St. Robert’s Bellarmine Church. It was personal and very sweet. There were tons of happy tears, which completely warmed my heart! After the bubble exit, we made our way to Ford Nature Center in Mill Creek Park in Youngstown, Ohio to take photos in the beautiful golden light. It was perfect weather for this wedding!

The night wrapped up at Leo’s Ristorante with tons of great food, dancing, beautiful decor, touching toasts and some good ole’ fashioned Polka music played by Shelby’s grandpa and his friend on their accordions. It was a wonderful night to say the least! Congrats Shelby and Tyler!!! <3
