Kristie and Joe got married on an absolutely beautiful Saturday afternoon a few weeks ago out in Perry, Ohio. When I arrived at Joe’s mom’s house to start the day, I told Joe that I was pretty sure this was the first time in 23 years that I’ve ever driven on route 2 east past Mentor Headlands! The area is pretty well suited for great photography, and aside for the onslaught of midges off of the lake, it worked perfectly for us. Kristie and Joe reside down in Houston, and even though we were meeting Joe for the first time on Saturday, it felt more like we’d been friends for years! Actually, once Joe started quoting Ron Burgandy, that’s when I knew we’d be getting along just fine. The ceremony and reception were held at Madison Country Club, which really did an exceptional job. Check out the previews:
Something blue…

Gotta rock out the reflections…
I’m usually not one for really stoic portraits, but I really like this one of Joe…
Mom was all smiles in the morning!
Kristie and her mom have a great relationship, and it really showed throughout day…
Kristie and Joe opted for a First Glance, which we absolutely adore and fully endorse! It left plenty of time for awesome portraits prior to the ceremony, and made the whole afternoon go as smooth as butter…
I think they really love each other!!!
We were diggin’ the rocking chairs…
The ceremony…
Kristie and Joe’s bridal party was just the right size!
Joe and his brother were laughin’ it up most of the day…
Since we did a First Glance, we had plenty of time to hit up a few locations for portraits, one of which was Kristie’s grandfather’s property just down the road…
Love the red…
This cake topper needs no introduction…
Kristie’s mom had a great toast…
One more…
Thanks guys for a great day! Stay tuned for images from Kristie and Joe’s after session in the next couple of days…
