The first of many happy tears during their day…
Meanwhile…
Natalie & Renier spent the morning at The O'Neil House Bed & Breakfast in Akron for their preparations, first-look and group portraits. It is an incredible house and the gardens were still bursting with color. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect location that day.
Their first-look was so incredibly sweet…
Natalie's parents came outside to see her and wish the couple a happy day.
We were so thrilled with how much color was still on the trees. The sunlight helped make everything glow which was so beautiful. Natalie's bouquet added a perfect blend of bright reds into the mixture as well.
So stunning, Natalie. Thanks for braving the cold weather with us. Totally worth it! :o)
So gorgeous! LOVE these next few. November sunlight is so soft and bright.
We took a much needed warm-up break inside before heading back out for group portraits. We very rarely take portraits inside but The O'Neil House was so incredible that we couldn't stop ourselves. The large bright windows and beautiful interior really make these photos come alive. Plus, Natalie & Renier are too cute together. That always helps too. ;o)
Back outside for some great guy portraits. If you ever look up 'dapper' in the dictionary, you might just find a picture of Renier.
Like we said, the colors of this day were amazing. The deep blue dresses and bright flowers were the perfect addition to the fall colors.
Such a fun group! Renier's brother on the far left gets my vote for best face.
Then it was off the The Chapel in downtown Akron for the ceremony.
And you're MARRIED!
These are some of our favorite exit photos of the entire year. LOVE all of these!
Party time at Greystone Hall in downtown Akron. Great idea for a seating chart!
See how empty those tables are? This was an all night party on the dance floor with everyone.
And a few of us enjoying the day…
We'd blend in even better if we started using our phones. Maybe in 2015.
Trying to get above the wild crowd on the dance floor…
Natalie & Renier, we can't thank you enough for inviting us to join in on your incredible day. We felt so honored and blessed to share and capture all the once in a lifetime moments with you. It was a pleasure to work with you and we are so happy with the photos we created together with you. Can't wait for you to see them all and relive the day all over again. God bless you both and your life together. We hope to see you again one day. Best wishes!
