Adam + Nicole's Youngstown Military Wedding | Our Lady of Mt Carmel Church | Downtown Youngstown, Ohio | Youngstown Wedding Photographer |

2018-06-29_0001.jpg

Adam + Nicole's  military wedding was certainly one to remember! This classic Youngstown wedding featured locations such as the traditional Our Lady of Mt Carmel Church, the gorgeous Mahoning County  Courthouse, and other beautiful downtown Youngstown spots. These are some of my favorite buildings to photograph in given the historic architecture & beautiful cosmetics which offer a lot of character that speak to the unique nature of Youngstown itself. 

When I arrived to start photographing, Nicole was all smiles from ear to ear. I could tell it was going to be an amazing day! The girls finished up getting ready as my wonderful second photographer for the day, Kirsten, and I photographed wedding details (one of my favorite parts of the day!) We hung Nicole's gorgeous dress in the ceremony room and it took everyone's breath away. Every thought and detail Nicole put into her details were awesome and made for great photos. From the rings, to the  flower choice, shoes, and the patch of Adam's last name in her dress, it was all perfect.

Kirsten snuck Adam aside and snagged some great shots of him getting ready to meet his beautiful bride at the end of the aisle, and from there things moved really fast. The rest was history! 

Please enjoy the photos from this incredible day as much as I enjoyed being there to capture it all! :)
