Mary & Dane

After dating for eight years, Mary and Dane decided to make things official and were married at St. Francis Xavier Church in Medina. The couple's love of navy was displayed throughout the wedding - the bride incorporated the color in her dress, jewelry, and bridesmaids' dresses. Even though their wedding  was only one day after everyone was celebrating Independence Day, the day was very peaceful and calm in Medina Square when taking photos. The couple was surrounded by family and friends for the ceremony and at the reception held at Ruby's Banquet Hall. The happy newlyweds went out in style when waving their guests goodbye while driving away in the father of the bride's sports car.

We received a wonderful thank you from the couple after they viewed their beautiful photos:

Aaron & Joanna,

Thank you so much! The pictures turned out fabulously and I feel you really captured our emotions/ feelings for the day. We are going to have a hard time narrowing these down, but it's a good position to be in! Thank you for the time and attention put in throughout the whole process!

- Mary and Dane Chester

 

Natalie & Peter

Natalie and Peter's Wedding ceremony took place at the Hudson Community Chapel, where they were joined by friends and family. Before the ceremony, the bride shared a first look not with the groom, but her father. She then received a beautiful bracelet her father had picked out to give her before he escorted her down the aisle. If you had attended, you would agree that smiling was hard to hold back between Natalie's bright personality and the musical ceremony. The bride proved to be fashion forward with her bold choice of TOMS that she wore throughout the day. The happy couple joined their guests at Silver Lake Country Club in Silver Lake for the reception. Natalie and Peter enjoyed the rest of the night together dancing with their friends and family.

 

Mariette and Joe

Mariette began her Wedding day by getting ready at her parents' home and spending time with her four brothers. She later travelled to St. Anthony Church in Akron, where she was baptized as a child and where she would now be married to her fiancé, Joe. The couple originally met through a mutual friend who participated in the ceremony as the bride's maid of honor. Both the bride and groom's favorite color, blue, was incorporated in the bridesmaids' dresses and flower arrangements.  The reception was held at Emidio & Sons' Banquet Center, which is family owned by Mariette's family. A beautiful spread of home made cookies were lined up across a large table for the couple and their guests to enjoy throughout the night. The happily married couple has our best wishes of safe travels as they go on their Dominican Republic honeymoon and move to New Jersey to join Joe's family.   

Gina & Andrew's Cuyahoga Falls Affair

Gina and Andrew were married at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Cuyahoga Falls, which was a perfect fit considering the bride is a sixth grade teacher at the elementary school associated with the parish . The couple's personalities were shown throughout the day; Andrew and his groomsmen were all showing off their Jordans.  Andrew purchased them as a gift for the gentlemen and they turned around and purchased him a pair! Aside from the wedding itself, one of the reasons that made the day so special was a surprise Andrew's mother had been working hard on to give him and Gina. His mother has not been able to walk for some time now, but joined Andrew walking down the aisle on his big day. The family and friends were all very moved and it made the ceremony a privilege to attend. After the ceremony, the couple and their guests had a blast dining and dancing at the reception held at Guy's Party Centre.

Dave & Ariel's Country Style Wedding

Ariel and Dave's Wedding ceremony and reception took place at Saint George Antiochian Orthodox Church in Akron. The couple's two children, Jake and Lily, were both part of the ceremony; Jake pulled his little sister down the aisle in a decorated wagon just before the bride made her grand entrance into the chapel. To keep everyone cool on such a hot day, the couple made adorable fans for their guests that included a picture of the bride and groom as children on the front. Ariel and her bridesmaids all looked beautiful, but the addition of the cowboy boots to their dresses really made a cute personal touch. After the ceremony, the couple and their guests all celebrated by dancing the night away and enjoying the raspberry and chocolate cupcakes at the reception.

Danielle & Andrew's Beautiful Byantine Catholic Wedding

Danielle and Andrew had a lovely ceremony located at St. Joe's Byzantine Catholic Church in Cleveland followed by the reception at Briarwood Golf Club. Her sister, who was also one of her five bridesmaids, played an active role in the church ceremony by being a cantor. Danielle also incorporated her mother into her special day by wearing her gorgeous wedding veil. The couple was very interactive with family and friends throughout the day and was hopeful their wedding day would be memorable for all attending. The couple made the entire day reflect both of them- Danielle's favorite color, purple, was incorporated in the bridesmaid's dresses, the flower arrangements, and the décor at the reception. We were so excited to share this day with Danielle and Andrew especially because we have known the bride and her family for quite some time now. Danielle and her sisters came to us for their senior pictures, so being able to watch her grow has been such a blessing. A special thanks to Danielle for wonderful review of us posted on the Wedding Channel:

“I LOVE my pictures!    posted 6/26/2013

Vizphoto is AMAZING! I cannot say enough good things about them. Aaron and Joanna's work speaks for itself. I wanted beautiful wedding pictures that I could cherish for the rest of my life and I got them! Their work can't be compared to other photographers! They are so easy to work with and there to accommodate you every step of the way! Definitely a fabulous experience I would recommend to ALL brides. I look forward to working with them in the future as my family grows :)”

Candace & Matthew's Vineyard Wedding

Candace and Matthew's Wedding Day was held at the beautiful Gervasi Vineyard in Canton. Aside from the amazing view of the vineyard, the ceremony was just as noteworthy. The Pavilion created an intimate environment for the couple and their guests during the ceremony and reception. The bridal party started the day off getting their hair and make up done at M.C. Hair Consultants located in Cuyahoga Falls. After the bride was done making the finishing touches when getting ready, she joined Matt for a beautiful first look near the lake's shore. Candace added a creative personal touch by hand making all of the flower arrangements for their wedding. It was so special for Joanna and Aaron to watch two of their daughters accompany Candace down the aisle as her flower girls. Candace has been a close friend of the Patterson family, so being a part of the couple's special day was such an amazing experience.
