Aaryn and Andy had a lavish backyard wedding in Grandview, Ohio. Their wedding day was absolutely stunning! I was honored to capture their wedding day because I have known Aaryn and her family since I was little. One of my favorite things about their wedding day was they used several wedding vendors from Aaryn’s hometown, which is also mine! We’re from a smaller town, about an hour north of Columbus, so the fact that they used so many vendors for a wedding in Columbus, was amazing!

We started the day off with capturing Aaryn’s bridal details and they were all beautiful. I think it’s very important to photograph all of the details because of the sentimental value to you and for your children some day. Bridal details can be a memorable way to carry something special from your wedding day to theirs. Another special part of the day was Aaryn and her father sharing a first look before the ceremony and as always, there were some tears shed.

Their ceremony took place at Our Lady of Victory Church. Andy and his family have been attending there for years, so it was memorable that they got married here. Afterwards, we headed to take portraits and their adorable pup joined in some of the pictures! It’s always my favorite when couples include their furry friends! Andy and Aaryn had the best bridal party and they were so sweet.

When it came time for their reception, let me tell ya, it was such a FUN party!! The DJ, Loren, was so awesome and he definitely helped get the party started. The party continued for hours though and he played the best music. If you’re looking for a DJ for your wedding, you should definitely consider him as your DJ! Aaryn, Andy, and all of their guests danced for hours and had the best time. We ended their wedding day with a sparkler exit, which was perfectly fitting since their wedding day was before Independence Day! They left in a getaway car which was so fun!

Thank you Aaryn and Andy for letting me photograph your beautiful day! It was such an honor! Check out my favorites from their lavish backyard wedding!
