Intimate Backyard Wedding and Gervasi Vinyard Reception, Canton Ohio

I had never met Elizabeth and Chris prior to their wedding, but it didn’t take long to discover what a perfect match they are. They are two of the kindest people anyone could wish to meet. Their life stories weave together in a way that one can only agree they are certainly meant for each other. Stories like theirs can not just be mere coincidences that line up one after another, but rather something greater that has brought them together.


Chris and Elizabeth were engaged at Gervasi, outside The Crush House, which is also where their reception was at. They saw a sign that said “One Way Bridge” and took that as a metaphorical “sign” about their future marriage, so of course we had to get a photo of them with it, too!

Some weddings I go home and feel like I didn’t even spend a day at work, but with friends, and that was exactly how this day went. From beginning to end, I felt welcomed by their families, who are a clear testament to why they are such warm, welcoming people themselves. Days like this, I feel so blessed to have the job I do!
