I document weddings for relaxed, fun-loving couples who fully enjoy their special day and embrace real moments. Jessica and Carlo exemplify this ideal. Coverage started with Jessica and bridesmaids getting ready at her childhood home in Akron and Carlo and the guys letting loose at the Hilton Akron/Fairlwn. Vows were exchanged at the gorgeous St Bernard Catholic Church in the heart if Akron. A lively reception was held at the always first-class Fairlawn Country Club. Congratulations Jessica and Carlo. Here are a few favorite images from this wonderful day.
