carrie and dave's wedding {christa}

carrie and david's wedding took place at mon ami, a restaurant and winery in port clinton, ohio. here are some favorites from the day

the ceremony took place in the wine cellar. the fabric hanging from the arched stone ceiling and the candle light were beautifully dramatic.



dave being pretty...

these giant wine barrels were so striking, the perfect spot for some shots of the happy couple.

these next two are by kitty. the flowers below were awarded to him and his wife for being married the longest out of all the guests at the wedding.  when asked to give the newly weds some advice he replied "two words... yes. dear."

dollar dance!


the photo booth was a blast. everyone could leave a strip of photos with a note to carrie and dave and also take a strip home for some instant memories from the wedding.

thanks carrie and dave for letting us spend the day with you! we wish you both all the best!
