Ashley & Dan | Wedding

They met across basketballs and dodgeballs in high school summer gym. They became friends ... but only friends ... and even went to a high school school dance together once Ashley transferred to another school.

"I must have scarred him because he didn't attend any more high school dances after that," she remembered.

Years later, they finally went on that first (or second?) date, no dancing involved. :)

"She always puts others before herself even if she is overwhelmed," Dan said. "She is the most beautiful person inside and out, which makes me feel like I have to be the luckiest man."

I'm so glad I had the chance to work with you two. You make such a great team, and I have loved getting to know you! Best of luck as husband and wife. :)

Ashley's cat could not figure out what I was doing.

Ashley and Dan chose not to do a first look, but saved a little bit of time for a couple of "no-look" pre-ceremony photos.

And this is why I love having a second shooter. Emily captured all the shots below.

Nice work guys!

And girls and guy ... :)

Ashley's parents were also married in Medina and had their pictures done in front of the same gazebo. :)

Gorgeous, Ashley! All the credit goes to Emily on this one. :)

They did such a good job with the damask detail. It was everywhere!

Fun wedding party. :)

And then they set off Chinese lanterns. I think this was my favorite part of the whole day. You know. Besides the getting married part.

Love this one of Dan and his mom.

Ashley & Dan | Wedding Sneak Peek

I just love these two. Ashley and Dan are so friendly and so welcoming ... their wedding was obviously a good time! Enjoy some of my favorites, and then stay tuned for the full post next week!

Colleen & Mike | Wedding

They met because of a friend. She was in school in Pittsburgh and he was in town. They met. They hung out. And then they didn't see each other for a year and a half.

"The very first time I met him, he gave me his jacket," Colleen remembered. "He was a keeper from the beginning."

Six years after they met, and four and a half years after they became inseparable, Colleen and Mike tied the knot. She says her favorite thing about him is that he makes her laugh, even when she's not in the mood to crack a smile, and as an observer, I can totally see that. Mike is this happy-go-lucky guy who is really, really good at getting his new wife to smile. The way he looks at you, Colleen ... you're right about him being a keeper. :)

Both Colleen and Mike are really into golf, as is Colleen's family, so they decided to have their ceremony at the Golf Improvement Center in Medina. How's that for unique??

Colleen did a first look with her dad. It was so sweet! :)

That little ring bearer is the cutest ever! Oh and those linen suits with Sperry's? Awesome!

So everything was great, we got all our pictures done outside, and then? Then it began to pour just as guests were arriving! Everyone milled around in the store while we waiting for the monsoon to clear. Luckily it only lasted about half an hour and the outside ceremony went off without a hitch.

So many details! Thanks to my second shooter, Emily, for that photo above.

They even had a bagpiper. So cool!

My favorite up there on the left.

I can't take credit for this photo idea. It was all Emily's brain child! See why she's awesome?

Haha, I love it.

Fairlawn Country Club is gorgeous!

Who wouldn't want a margarita bar at their wedding?!

You two are great. Here's to a long and happy marriage!

Ashley & Dan | Engagement

They agreed to go to their sophomore year Homecoming dance together ... but just as friends. It went well, but it wasn't until years later that Ashley and Dan started dating. And now look at them! Those teenagers had no idea that they'd be walking down the aisle together all grown up. We met in Medina—their hometown—on a beautiful, SUNNY evening. I love that they wanted to document their engagement in Medina because that's where their story started. And that's just what I love to do. Document stories. Enjoy this one.

You two are so cute!

OK, get ready for these. Their ACTUAL Homecoming photo in Medina Square, a reenactment of the awkward high school dance photo in the same location, and an updated portrait. :)

These next few are my favorite. The light was AWESOME!
