Chelsea & Drew | Cleveland Ballroom at Park Lane Wedding

They weren't exactly chummy after their first meeting. Chelsea and Drew worked the same summer job on their break from college, and in Drew's own words: "For some reason I was totally dedicated to my summer job. I am such a perfectionist." That was the problem. Chelsea describes Drew's dedication as "enthusiasm" and it totally overwhelmed her.

"He acted like he knew everything and his way was the best way to do whatever task," she said. "He will tell you he was the manager but really he was a cafe associate just like me."

Something changed, however, because after that first summer of working together, the two stayed in touch when they went back to their respective schools. Chelsea realized that Drew is just super warm and friendly and cares extra about everything he does.

It took a couple more years before they would even start dating, but there was no looking back once they started. Their relationship even survived long distance after Drew graduated from college before Chelsea.

"I love Drew's smile," Chelsea said. "It is irresistible and makes it so hard to get mad at him. I also love his sense of humor. He knows how to make me laugh and can brighten any mood."

Chelsea and Drew are the type of people that feel like your friends 10 minutes after meeting them. They're both so friendly, and I've loved getting to know them this past year! Thank you for always being so awesome, you two. I can't wait to see where life takes you (and what kind of dog you settle on)!

This little flower girl just thought Chelsea was the coolest. I have to agree with her!

Chelsea's dress was so pretty!

I love that Drew escorted his mom down the aisle.

And THIS is the face of an excited groom ...

I have my friend Brittany to thank for that wide-angle shot up there. :)

Love this bridge in the Flats. Such a great backdrop!

Favorite.

Gorgeous, Chelsea!

You too, Drew! ;)

And then it was off to the Cultural Gardens ...

This is another favorite. You nailed it, Drew!

I loved shooting at The Ballroom at Park Lane! Melissa and her team are fabulous!

Popcorn bar!

Chelsea & Drew | Cleveland Ballroom at Park Lane Wedding Sneak Peek

This wedding was one of the most fun I've had all year. Between Chelsea and Drew's demeanors, their families and bridal party, the debut of our photo booth, and their venue (the Ballroom at Park Lane), I would be perfectly happy shooting this wedding all over again next weekend. What do you think, guys? Come back from your cruise and get married again? ;) These two planned their navy-and-yellow, chevron-themed day immaculately. Everything went off without a hitch, and I can't wait to show you all of it in a couple weeks!

Nicole & Chris | Wedding

He's from California. She's from Ohio. That's more than 2,000 miles, but in between the two states, they met. Nicole was in Chicago for grad school and Chris has friends in the city. That's all it took to close 2,000 miles and now Nicole and Chris are settling in Michigan ... together. This wedding holds a special place in my heart. Are you ready for a throwback? My husband, Nathan, and Nicole were RAs in the same dorm at Miami. :) While I never got to know Nicole as well as I wanted to, I knew just from talking to her for a couple minutes that she's genuine. She's always smiling ... you'll see. And she has a big heart. It's no secret that Chris absolutely adores and respects Nicole. And it's obvious that she feels the exact same way about him.

You two and all your friends and family are so fun. Thank you for making me feel so at home during your wedding day. Much love for a happy life together up north!

I traveled to Cincinnati for Nicole and Chris' wedding, and the girls got ready at a hotel in West Chester.

Gorgeous, Nicole!

Because Nicole and Chris wanted to go right to the reception after the ceremony, they opted for a first look. This allowed them to have lots of portrait time before the ceremony.

Their first look was so sweet!

My favorite! You two look so good. :)

It was SO hot and we were doing portraits right around noon. This wedding party was awesome and didn't complain once. :)

Time to get married!

I think the moment right before the bride and groom walk down the aisle is one of my favorites.

Oh, did I mention the barn didn't have A/C? That totally didn't phase people. There was dancing anyways! :)
