![MacKenzie, & her father, taking that joyous, yet somewhat bittersweet, walk towards the aisle.
This is how we wrap up our first full year of weddings. A sudden Monday announcement of new Ohio Coronavirus orders that changed things incredibly for Jake & MacKenzie, who’ve already been riding the Covid rollercoaster all year.
We thought they just might get in under the wire without having to drastically change their already altered plans...that would not be the case.
They made the difficult call to still hold their precious ceremony outside, in this day’s chill, for 80 of their original 200 invite list to still be with them. But, decided to limit the indoor reception to bridal party & close family of less than 40...AND lose their dance floor except for bride & groom & mother, father dances.
Additionally, their original photographer, @loren_homewardphotoco, recently became ill & turned things over to her very capable second shooter from @andreadossphoto, who brought HER second shooter. Andrea, if anyone was going to take over for Loren, so glad it was you on this very moody weather day. I know Jake & Mackenzie will have beautiful images of their hard fought for day.
Like most of our other couples this year, they braved the changed landscape for weddings, deciding “it is what it is & we don’t want to wait” to join their lives as husband & wife.
We prayed for incredibly precious moments, unique for them. And, from what I was privileged to witness so far, believe our prayers were answered. Can’t wait to share more of their day & story when their album is ready.
