Newark Ohio Wedding

I first met Mary when she was a bridesmaid in her friends Emily and Shawn’s wedding back in June of 2016. I was so excited when she reached out to me for the opportunity to photograph her own wedding. Mary and Jon have been dating for the last four years. They spent several of those years traveling long distances for their relationship. In December 2017, they were engaged and so excited to finally start living closer together.Late spring in the mid-west can be so unpredictable. For Mary and Jon’s wedding day there was a very slim chance of shattered showers. I always bring my clear umbrellas as good luck charms because you really just never know! The afternoon became tricky as the dark clouds approached us with a short torrential downpour just as we finished up the first look! Thankfully the skies opened and we were able to finish all their wedding portraits before the ceremony.Their ceremony and reception were both held at St Peter and Paul Retreat Center in Newark. Mary’s sister in law took on the role of decorating the reception space with gorgeous florals they had made from the Flowerman with an added touch of navy.It was an honor to their capture their beautiful wedding day! I hope you enjoy some of my favorites from their special day.
