Kathy & Justin | Lyman Harbor Sandusky Wedding

Sandusky Ohio Wedding PhotographerKathy and Justin are just about the cutest couple I've ever met. Within minutes of meeting these two you can't help but notice that they adore each other so much. All Kathy wanted to do while she was getting ready on her wedding day was SEE JUSTIN! Good thing they planned a first look. I don't think she would have made it to the altar. :)

When they say that they're each other's best friend, they mean it.

"Justin is patient and understanding, helping to strengthen myself as well as our relationship," Kathy said. "I know that no matter what life throws our way, we will take it on together."

And Just himself is so obviously enamored with Kathy.

"Even before we started dating I knew that Kathy was everything I ever wanted, and I would do anything to make her mine," he said. "Wherever life takes us, I'm happy to know she'll be by my side."

Oh guys, thanks for being so sweet. To each other … and to us, your photographers! We loved spending the day in Sandusky with you, documenting you two making it official. Congrats you married people!

Melanie & Matt | Sandusky Ohio Wedding

Summer Sandusky Ohio WeddingMelanie and Matt met in middle school, but not as wide-eyed 7th or 8th graders … as teachers! Matt was the band director at the school and was asked to help out with choir, which was Melanie's area of expertise.

"During those classes there were many glances back and forth with many accompanying smiles," they said.

Not long after, Melanie and Matt became official and leaned on each other through thick and thin.

"I realized Matt was the one when my father passed away and Matt was there for me the entire time," Melanie said of the hardest time in her life. "The support and love he showed me made me realize I wanted him around for all the important things in my life."

Melanie and Matt made it really official when they tied the knot in Sandusky a few weeks ago. They had a beautiful day, which isn't really surprising because these two radiate joy. It's so evident that Melanie and Matt have a really good, really respectful relationship. They make each other laugh … all the time! They have fun together … no matter what they're doing. And they're really supportive of one another.

Melanie and Matt … thank you for including me in your day. I'm pretty sure my smile was plastered to my face the whole night! :) Enjoy Disney and continue having FUN in life together!

Hailee & Stefan | Elegant Rustic Nolan Barn Wedding

Wakeman, Ohio Nolan Barn Wedding It's the classic cheerleader meets football player story. Hailee and Stefan are high school sweethearts, and they credit a powderpuff football game for really bringing them together.

"Stefan was very respectful," Hailee said. "I always knew he truly valued my beliefs and me as a person. He has always treated me the way every lady deserves to be treated."

It's true that Stefan is a gentleman 100 percent, and when asked what he loves most about Hailee? Well, his answer was too sweet to leave out. :)

"She is the most loving human being in the world and she cares for everyone no matter what their background," he said. "If we go somewhere in public and she sees someone eating by themselves, she get legitimately conceded for their happiness. Even though I hate to see her sad, I love to see her react to those situations because her heart is so big."

It's completely obvious how loved these two are themselves. I've never seen a closer knit group of friends or family at a wedding before, and having followed Hailee on Instagram for awhile now, I know how much her students love her, as well (she's going to be a teacher, y'all!). You guys, it was a pleasure for me to document your day! I'm so excited for all that lays ahead for you, and you know I'll be keeping up with you two. :)
