Abby & Connor

Most brides picture a grandiose wedding, surrounded
by friends, family and acquaintances alike, but Abby
and Connor started their forever with a small intimate
wedding, on a hill under a tree. Abby and Connor
were married at Rocky River Beach, surrounded
by the love of their 12 person immediate family. Carly
said the key to capturing the perfect wedding moment
is to be in tune with the bride and groom’s story. For
this couple, Carly incorporated the spot that they first
fell in love at into the location for their pictures. “The
first time ever that Abby, the bride, skipped school, was
with Connor, the groom, and they went to the art museum,”
Carly said. “Every year, they take a photo together
there. Their whole relationship they have done that.” Carly
took the couple’s engagement and wedding pictures at
the art museum to keep the tradition going and commemorate
their love for each other. Carly said her favorite part
of the wedding to photograph was the groom’s reaction to
seeing his bride walk down the aisle toward him. “Just
seeing them be completely vulnerable and being
able to capture that was my favorite for
sure,” Carly said. “He just started crying…She just stood
there holding his face, having a little moment right before.”
Tiny moments spent with people who will love them forever.
The Perfect wedding.
