My wedding season has come to an end and I can’t think of a better couple to end it off right with! Chelsea and Zach had their vintage fairy tale wedding at the Tudor Arms Hotel in Cleveland and no venue could’ve been a better backdrop for their special day! The guests all wore black and Chelsea with her bridesmaids wore the most beautiful ivory gowns and the groom and groomsmen in black tuxes. It was straight out of a fairy tale book!

Zach and Chelsea were the greatest joy to not only photograph (because hello, those two can not take a bad picture!) but to spend all day with! Throughout the day Chelsea repeatedly asked me how I was doing on her wedding day! She was thinking of everyone and wanted to make the day magical for not only her but for everyone that was celebrating with them. Pure joy I tell you.

Their wedding truly pushed me as a natural light photographer because their ceremony started at dusk with bridal portraits following after in the dark! With no first look ahead of time, capturing the light and airy feel at night was something I was determined I could do! And yes, I AM patting myself on the back because I really put my skills and knowledge to the test and blown myself away! 😉

Chelsea and Zach, thank you so, so much for trusting me to capture this beautiful day! Wishing you both much happiness and love! I hope to see you and your families again real soon!!

Enjoy a few favorites from this vintage fairy tale wedding!
