Wigwam Event Center Wedding | Pickerington Ohio

October 12 was a gorgeous crisp fall sunny day, as Andrew and Maria celebrated their marriage. They exchanged vows amongst both of their families at Saint Catharine Catholic Church in Bexley. The ceremony was extra meaningful as Maria’s Uncle married the couple.  It was beautiful to watch these two commit to never walking away no matter what life brings them.

The celebration continued as all their guest headed to Pickerington to the new Wigwam Event Center. A large open space venue that is surrounded by windows, allowed for the best views of the colorful fall foliage. It was so exciting to be a part of the first wedding they had at this gorgeous venue.

Maria and Andrew met five plus years ago through mutual friends while attending the University of Cincinnati. Through living in different countries for eight months and finishing grad school in different cities for three years, these two have an incredible testimony of their relationship. With twenty four of their closest friends and family as part of their bridal party, its clear that Andrew and Maria’s love for the people in their lives is deeply reciprocated by their friendship. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t slightly nervous about this large of a bridal party but everyone truly was beyond kind, helpful, and patient during every moment of the day. I can see how their friendships are so valued.   

Maria’s father shared many memories over the years of Maria as a young girl as well as her time after she met Andrew.  Everyone was in need a tissue during his heartfelt speech. The evening continued with a delicious Italian feast from The Berwick Catering.  The entertainment was lead by Dustin from Josh Staley Productions for an always fun evening of dancing, singing, and just one heck of a good time.  

I loved sharing the day with this sweet couple and being able to capture their love story. Enjoy some of my favorites from Andrew and Maria’s fall wedding day! I hope you both are enjoying your honeymoon in Greece!
