Production like a maniac over here! This wedding season I’m averaging about 2 weddings away from California a month. I’m excited to share this one with you. During the winter, Mary and Andy flew to San Francisco for their engagement session, and we had a blast exploring Hayes Valley and Crissy Field. Now it was my turn to fly to Ohio where they wed at Geneva-by-the-Lake, a tiny little town full of summer time memories (retro burger!)! Enjoy the peek!

First sight…always a special moment. Their wedding style was fresh, polished, light and nature-inspired.

A climbing obstacle to get to this sandy spot and totally worth it.

Moss cone vases stuffed with white hydrangeas hung from the ceremony aisle chairs.

Mary and Andy chose to see each other before the ceremony (which I highly recommend) so that we could have time for great photos of them with no rush, and they could enjoy their guests for the rest of the afternoon/evening.

Such a lovely color combination of greens and whites – so clean and fresh.

Haha, we witnessed a couple of hotel staffers ‘off-road’ this quadcycle to us!

DIY mini jars of honey as favors, yummy! Even better? Mary’s father is a beekeeper, and the honey in the jars were from his bees. Labels purchased and put on each jar separately.
