Rachel & Pat | Gervasi Vineyard Wedding

In case you forget Rachel and Pat's story, let me recap it for you: They both traveled (separately) to the Kentucky Derby from Cleveland and met for the first time while surrounded by hats, bow ties, and lots of horses. Crazy, right? It's kinda unbelievable that they had mutual friends, had never met before and say they "probably never would have met otherwise."

I've admittedly only known these two together, but I can't imagine either with anyone else. They're both so selfless, generous and extremely thoughtful. They both constantly have smiles on their faces and are so sweet with each other and everyone around them. And I don't think it's coincidence that their families are equally as great. I loved photographing this summer vineyard wedding. Rachel and Pat, you guys are the best. For real.

Jaclyn & Nicholas | 1920s-Inspired Canton, Ohio Wedding

Jaclyn and Nicholas have infectious personalities. You just always want to be around them. They're kind, they can laugh at themselves and they are so selfless. Case in point, Jaclyn was volunteering for the Salvation Army when they met.

It was high school, and Nicholas was a carry-out at the local grocery store. Jaclyn was ringing the Salvation Army bell on a freezing, cold day and Nicholas brought her hot chocolate on his break. See? Always thinking about others.

"Nicholas constantly puts my need above his own," Jaclyn said. "It humbles me and challenges me to be better."

This wedding day was one of my favorites, not just because of the fun style and details, but because Jaclyn and Nicholas' love for each other and the Lord shone brightest of all. Their respect for each other is inspiring, and their love for their family and friends is evident.

Thank you two, from the bottom of my heart, for including me in your special day. I know it was a long time coming, and I feel so humbled to have been asked to capture such an important time in your lives. I'm so lucky to be able to call you guys friends.

Jaclyn and Nicholas wanted to do a little something different with their day, so they went with a "Roaring 1920s!" theme. Everything was absolutely perfect!

Nicholas got all of his groomsmen pocket watches!

I loved the bridesmaids' flapper look!

Off to get married!

Love that one up there on the left that Emily caught! Stained glass is gorgeous.

Such a fun bridal party!

OK, that door is perfect! :)

Jaclyn. Come on. You are so pretty!

Hoover Hall is such a unique reception location ...

And then we made time for a few sunset photos. My favorite. :)

That's a favorite up there. The light was perfect!

Haha, oh you guys. They were super excited about their Hawaiian honeymoon. :D And who could blame them??
