Kaleigh and Carl | December Wedding and Reception at Watersedge Event Center

What a crazy December it has been! It’s gone by so very fast but I’m thrilled to be able to finally get another blog post up! This was my last wedding of 2018, and I am so happy with how we ended the year! It was just amazing.

At the beginning of December, Kaleigh and Carl were married at the Upper Arlington Lutheran Church Lytham Campus. This church was the perfect setting for the ceremony! A LONG aisle and high ceilings are just a few of the features of the church. After the wedding, we took a short party bus ride to Pins in Dublin, and did a short creative session there because Carl proposed to Kaleigh on the patio near a fire pit. We bopped around the pin ball machines, the bowling, and the ski ball lanes, taking pictures as they played.

After the fun at Pins, we went to Watersedge in Hilliard for a fantastic reception. The bridal party was introduced, and then toasts were made, followed by cake cutting, dances and even the Shoe Game! (If you don’t know what the shoe game is – here is a brief description! The couple sits back to back, with one of their own shoes, and one of their partners shoes. The DJ then asks questions like “Who spends more time in the bathroom?” and each of them raises whoever’s shoe to answer the question. It’s always a hilarious way to start the reception!) The couple danced and was surrounded by loving family and friends all night long.

Carl and Kaleigh,  thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for giving us the privilege of being the photographers to document your first moments as husband and wife. It was beautiful, and I loved every minute of it! We wish you both the absolute best as your start your new life together.
