On February 19, 2023 DaiJohn and Hope pledged their forevers at Bethel Cleveland Church in Brunswick, Ohio.
It was such a simple, sweet day with the emphasis being about these two and their loved ones.
For February it was beautiful weather! Although windy, it wasn't nearly as cold or harsh as it could have been. We also discovered this old barn FULL of beautiful, soft light...I was quite excited for this find.
Family is everything to these two.
Their daughters, Blessence and Serenity, were the little crowing glories of the day.
Watching this mama and daddy and the hearts they have for their kids is so refreshing and precious. The tender love of this sweet family was so tangible.
The day was full of delicate details that added to the simplicity and meaning.
These are some of my favorite quiet moments.
I always love seeing the bridal party and camaraderie of dear friends!
This group of friends did not disappoint!
What a supportive, loving group this couple had behind them on such a big day.
We also did a first look with the bridal party which is always a fun twist!
Their ceremony was short and full of symbolism with communion, prayer, and vows.
Afterwards the evening was wrapped up with the BEST combination of upbeat moments that had us all laughing till we had stomach cramps, as well as a fair share of sweet tearjerkers.
I've had the greatest privilege of meeting these two at the start of my photography career, and have been documenting them and their growing family ever since.
They are not just clients anymore, but dear friends.
Watching their commitment and joy together as a couple always reminds me to slow down and soak up my own family and love story.
DaiJohn and Hope, it was my utmost pleasure to be trusted to capture your day!
Keep being beautiful together, you change the world each time you choose each other over and over.
And here is a little grand finale...because choosing just a few of these would be much too hard!
Congratulations Mr + Mrs Jefferson!
