Canton Ohio Wedding Photography: Jesse & Rachel...A Country Wedding!

This was one of my favorite weddings ever to shoot! Tim and I had an awesome time and were honored to be able to document this gorgeous event for Jesse & Rachel. The wedding took place on Jesse's parents' property, which featured amazingly beautiful trees & a serene lake as the backdrop for their ceremony. The weather was a little overcast, but there was no rain, which is a photographer's dream when it come to outdoor shooting! Beyond this being a beautiful event, everything about Jesse & Rachel's day was so God-centered and you could sense so much love between the two of them and also from their loved ones who joined in this special celebration. I normally don't do this, but I'm going to include little notes by some of the photos that captured certain moments with sentimental value. All shots taken by Tim have a T* below them. Enjoy my longest blog preview ever (literally)!

Three of Rachel's bridesmaids were pregnant!








I love this series of shots Tim got of the guys!




Remember the oil well from Rachel & Jesse's engagement session?






The groomsmen arrived in style. As the ceremony was starting, they pulled up in a caravan of very noisy but awesome, vintage trucks!

Jesse & Rachel incorporated an amazing time of worship into the ceremony and they had their bridal party & parents circle around them. It was awesome!




Just after Jesse & Rachel were pronounced "husband and wife", they turned to the audience & started singing "This Thing Called Love" along with their bridal party. It was pretty cute!




I love this moment that Tim sneaked from around the corner just after they walked up the aisle. They are totally glowing with happiness!

Just before the Mother/Son dance, Jesse changed into the suit his Dad wore on his & Jesse's Mom's wedding day! It was a sweet surprise to his Mom, who was also having a birthday on Jesse & Rachel's big day.


Amazing cupcakes!


Jesse serenaded Rachel with a beautiful Tim McGraw song (I Know How To Love You Well)

That was my longest post EVER...I can't believe I just posted 48 photos in a blog post! ...And there are many more to come, Mr. & Mrs. Brunk! :)

Rachel & Jesse: Engaged!

Rachel & Jesse are a beautiful couple, both inside and out, & it was my pleasure to capture this special time for them! I've been friends with Rachel for a long time, but I just recently met Jesse. Just from spending a few hours with him on a couple different occasions & seeing the two of them interact, I can already tell that they are totally made for each other...truly a perfect match!

We had a great time tromping around Jesse's family's property to get these shots. It was a dreary day but we had a great time and I love how the romance is so evident between these two lovebirds. I said I wasn't going to shoot any more weddings after Camden was born, but when Rachel asked me to shoot theirs...I couldn't say no. :) I'm looking forward to a beautiful wedding in just 3 short weeks! I'm already excited to blog about it...it's going to be an incredible event.

Rachel & Jesse...I wish you the best in your many years together as husband and wife. Marriage is a blessing...always cherish each other!







































I know it was a long post...but I thought I'd come back from my maternity leave with a bang. :)
