Kristin & Ben – Married ~ Chagrin Falls, OH

This whole family hail from Texas – and had planned a wedding in Chagrin Falls, Ohio.

In November.

Now, those local to Ohio know that in November the weather can be kind – sunny and warm, or harsh – cold and snowy. Shall we take a guess which weather we got?

That is the stunning Hillbrook Club in Chagrin Falls, OH where the family were staying and where the reception was being held.

The day before, shortly after the rehearsal I managed to get a few shots of the bridesmaids – Suzanne and Melissa. These girls were so friendly, and ready for any shot taken! These are just a couple of shots I managed to take!

The day of the wedding, the snow fell but that didn’t hamper the spirits of anyone attending the wedding. The ceremony was at the United Methodist at Chagrin Falls.

Due to the weather conditions, taking formal photographs was out of the window, so we quickly headed to The Hillbrook Club for the reception.

One of the cool things about this wedding was how ‘hands on’ Kristin was. She had a craft table set aside for the kids who would be there to play at!

She also had a whole display of family photographs, hanging against a wall. Hundreds of small pictures documenting weddings, family gatherings etc., hanging for everyone to check out!

The reception was a low-key affair but very personal – I was privileged to take part!

Congratulations Kristin & Ben – have a great honeymoon and marriage!
