This year has officially become the year of overcoming adversity. Shafica and Jason’s wedding planning was just that.

Lauren and Steve's Personal and Romantic Summer Barn Wedding at The Grand Barn at the Mohicans in Glenmont, Ohio

It’s no surprise that Fall is my busiest time of the year. I think my absolute favorite month for weddings is September. That month has brought me some of the most magical weddings.

They are some of the kindest people I know and there were so many moments during the day that were filled with so much emotion and joy and love - I couldn’t handle it! I’ve gotten to know these two over the years and they are so deserving of every ounce of happiness their wedding day and their future holds for them….
