hicksville, ohio wedding | pittsburgh wedding photographer | angelica and chad

. . .

Angelica and I met working in the daycare center at Ohio State. She’s an absolute sweetheart and obviously gorgeous, so I was thrilled when she asked if I could photograph her marriage to her longtime love, Chad.

Here are some images from their perfect little small-town wedding in northwest Ohio.

Chad and Angelica wrote letters to each other to read before their first look. Note to future brides & grooms: please, please do this. I loved the emotion I was able to capture – these images are so moving.

After the first look, we were able to take care of the bride and groom portraits – this makes the day run so smoothly, and calms so many of the nerves before the ceremony!

Their two adorable kiddos got to be a part of the big day, too! I love these photos – can you feel the love and happiness from these four?!

We were able to take Chad’s classic Chevelle out for some portraits, too! How cool 🙂

The week of the wedding, I talked to Angelica on the phone and she told me she was *so* excited that she had Chad’s permission to lay on his car in her gown! Score!

I love capturing details like the rings in unique ways! These ring shots were too fun with a classic car as a backdrop!! 🙂

And really, how stunning is this girl?! I love her!

Back to the church for the ceremony, which was simple and beautiful.

The evening ended with a burnout, and then the bride and groom took off to their after-party!

Congratulations to the Schooley family – I’m so glad I got to be a part of your awesome day!
