Kaylynn & Matt's Fall Zoo Wedding at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo in Cleveland, Ohio

Fall weddings are probably my favorite. From the sunflowers to the GORGEOUS colors Northeast Ohio brings us, I can't help but be excited! Kaylynn and Matt's mid-November wedding brought us cooler weather and an early sunset, but the perfect of everything else made it worth it! I feel like Kaylynn and I talked about her wedding for-ev-er. So when it was time to see everything come together and how much emotion came out from the bride, groom and guests, I absolutely could NOT have been more happy for Kaylynn and Matt. In my opinion, there's nothing more beautiful to see during a wedding day than seeing people beaming with happiness or crying happy tears!...

We shoot together every now and then and let me just say, she's seriously a perfect model. I mean, she's obviously gorgeous. But she's also down for whatever crazy ideas I have and just rolls with it like it ain't no thang (loooove her). Once she started in the wedding industry, I was jumping with joy because she is a perfect fit for working with brides, giving them a great experience and helping them navigate their way through tons of tulle, lace, bling and veils to finally find the wedding gown of their dreams!...
