Last month, Donny & I had the opportunity to tell David + Sydney’s story. Their day was one of our favorites so far this wedding season! It was so sweet, lighthearted, & inclusive. Everyone involved was so happy & positive and all truly enjoyed the special occasion! We’re so happy & honored to have been a part of it! 🙂
David + Sydney chose The Vineyards at Pine Lake to host their gorgeous June wedding. We always love photographing here given its classy lakeside outdoor ceremony site, string light lit back patio, and, of course, the lovely vineyards! It’s a very beautiful and scenic location, especially for an outdoor ceremony on a sunny summer day like David + Sydney’s. Everything was so picturesque, and the rain actually held off! Their ceremony was perfect: short, sweet & so pretty!
Following the ceremony, we drove up to the vineyards for some awesome bride & groom portraits. David + Sydney brought purple & blue smoke grenades for the occasion and we were so excited to light them off and see if we could create some magic! It ended up turning out amaaaazing and added that extra WOW factor to their portraits! Following this, we headed to The Butler Institute of American Art in downtown Youngstown via party bus for formal bridal party & bride + groom photos. Then it was back to the Vineyards to celebrate and party the night away! The perfect ending to a wonderful day!!
Enjoy some of our favorite moments & details from this special wedding:
