Marengo, Ohio Wedding Photographer || Krescens & Stephen at The Beverly Mansion
I’ve been anxiously awaiting to photograph Krescens & Stephen’s wedding day at The Beverly Mansion. Fall at this mansion is magical, no lie. But, these two are even more magical when they are together and I couldn’t wait to see them (and the dogs) carry out all their wedding festivities! Now, we could talk about the dogs having a part in the ceremony… or the beautiful Chinese Wedding Tea Ceremony... but first we have to talk about the EPIC dress change Krescens did! In Chinese culture, the color red is synonymous with happiness, fortune, and success which is why many brides choose to wear it. BUT Stephen had no idea if Krescens would wear white or red down the aisle. He was stunned to see her in a beautiful white gown walking toward him during the ceremony. But then, plot twist: While I was finishing up photos with the guys, the bride went to “touch up her make up” with the bridesmaids. What she actually was doing? Changing into a beautiful red gown and veil to surprise Stephen (yet again!) and take more photos in her red wedding dress. Girlfriend even made sure to purchase him a matching red tie and pocket square too. The girl is BRILLIANT!
Their reception was just as incredible. Heartfelt speeches and greeting their loved ones, Krescens & Stephen were enjoying their celebration but when it came time to dance… these two DANCED. GUYS, look at that lift. These two were as committed to this dance as they are each other. It was crazy! Krescens & Stephen also shared in a Chinese Wedding Tea Ceremony. It brought me to tears guys. It was the most gracious, sweetest, more honorable thing I’ve ever seen at a wedding. With fast paced, modern life of always thinking of the next thing we need to do, this couple took the time and planning to plan a part of their wedding reception to honor the elders of their family by serving them tea, while at the same time, honoring Krescens culture and heritage as well. I just LOVED capturing this wedding day. There is not a more loving and kind couple that deserved all the beautiful weather, Fall colors, love and adoration that they did. Thank you, Krescens & Stephen for allowing me to capture your day!
