Kera and Craig - 7/18/09

For the second Saturday in a row, the day started out with ominous clouds and rain, but as luck would have it, it did clear up in plenty of time for Kera and Craig's wedding! It was a beautiful day to be married. :-) Have a look at the pictures ...

I love it when I'm asked to take pictures of the bride getting ready - for one thing, it adds a nice dimension to the photos for the day, but also so that the groom can see all he missed on the morning of :-).

some photos from Kera's house just before leaving for the Gardens



The only mishap of the day was the missing guitarist who got into a car accident on the way to the wedding (he's okay!). A very touching moment happened, though, that made for what I think will be a wonderful memory for Kera and Craig. As she was walking up the aisle, the guests began humming the bridal march. Honestly, nothing could have sounded more beautiful at that moment.



We took advantage of the beautiful landscaping at Fellows Riverside Gardens, located at the Mill Creek Metroparks in Youngstown.

Gorgeous rings and beautiful decorations at the party center

I wonder if she managed to get all those people in the shot?

I loved the lighting int he bar, which made every photo taken in there feel like a Norman Rockwell painting.
