Andrew & Brittany | An Intimate Winery Wedding in Port Clinton, OH

When we got to Mon Ami last Friday we were pretty stoked.  See, we LOVE family.  We love weddings because it’s literally the start of a new family!  But with Andrew & Brittany?  Well, they were already a family. ❤  They were basically getting up in front of their family and friends and stating what was already true.  But to us, that’s what made their day all the more special.

It was hot outside, but that cellar was nice and cool.  For that matter, so where Andrew & Brittany.  We’re not sure we’ve ever seen two people so calm before they said their vows!  The ceremony was precious, the kids were adorable, and Andrew & Brittany were just perfect!  We’re so glad we got to spend the day with you two, and we can’t wait to show you the rest of your pictures!

Eric & Ashley | Toledo, OH Wedding Photography

We will literally never forget the first time we got together with Eric & Ashley to do their engagement session.  They had really cute ideas to go to places that were super important to them.  They place they met, the place they went on for their first date, the place where they started their relationship.  Super amazing and romantic, right???  There was no possible way that any of this could go wrong…that is until Sandusky City Police decided to orchestrate a drug bust right in the middle of our shoot.

Needless to say, we finished a different day. :p

But just as unforgettable as their first engagement session was, these two as people are even more unforgettable.  Eric is so funny, and it’s so cute to see how he makes Ashley laugh.  Or even when he makes her roll her eyes, and then turns away to hide the fact that she’s smiling anyway. 😉  And Ashley is so sweet and a little soft spoken at times, but it’s amazing to watch how Eric can decode her body language in no time at all.

I guess what we’re trying to say, is that these two are simply made for each other. ❤

We’re not too sure we could have asked for better whether for their late October wedding!  Sure it was windy at times, but it was soooo nice and the sun was shining gorgeously, and everything looked so warm and cozy with all those rich fall colors!  Watching these two say their vows was amazing, and we’re sure it’ll be even more amazing to watch their lives unfold as they start this new journey together!  We are so excited we got to document their special day!

Cody & Emily | Port Clinton, OH Wedding Photography

Cody & Emily hired us to shoot their wedding about 3 months ago.  Nope.  You read that right. 😉  They contacted us about a week after a couple ended up having to move their wedding date from this past Saturday to next year.  I mean, if that’s not fate, I don’t know what is. 😉  We absolutely loved spending the day with these two!  They are sweet, tons of fun, and (just in case you can’t tell) super in love.  The ONLY regret we have is that we didn’t have the time to get to know these two better!

The weather was iffy for last weekend, and with the wedding right off of the beach, who knew what was going to happen!  But do you see those clouds?  That sunshine?  That ain’t photoshop and OCF…that’s the real deal. 😉  The day was absolutely perfect, and we couldn’t imagine a better day for two better people.  We really hope that you all enjoy this small preview from the wedding day.  Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Brubaker!  We can’t wait to show you the rest! 😀

Tony & Liz | Port Clinton, OH Wedding Photography

We got to meet Liz at the Mon Ami Bridal Fair last year.  She was literally the very last bride we talked to before the cellar completely cleared out as everyone shuffled to the fashion show in the loft.  The first time we saw her, we gave her all of our info, asked her about her and Tony, and then she walked away.  Then she came back and said, “You know what?  I know I want to hire you guys.  So come find me at the fashion show.”

We were pretty darn excited. 🙂

The first time we got to see her and Tony together was at our studio just a few short months ago.  I think we made them stay longer than they intended because we just couldn’t stop talking. :p  We talked about everything from seaweed, to colons, to Cleveland Clinic…and the next time we saw them for their esession was no different.  They’re both so easy to talk to, and such great people.  It was pretty clear why they each wanted to spend the rest of their lives with each other. ❤

Here is a preview of their amazing day together.
