Joelle and TJ got married on July 15, 2023 at Highfields Event Center in Hudson, OH. 

Looking back on their special day....

A moment that makes them smile: The crazy awesome umbrella pictures that we took at night. Joelle can’t stop looking at them and thinking about how perfect of a day it was!

A moment that makes them laugh: After having such an epic ceremony, then transitioning into a cocktail hour, then grand entrance, then cake cutting, then eating some delicious food it felt like only 10 minutes had passed. Getting a moment to have their first dance, slow down, and whisper to each other about how crazy the day had been was amazing! It was almost hard to keep dancing due to all the laughing. Then to top it off, they decided to finish the dance back outside in the rain which ended in even more laughter.

Their favorite moment: Seeing the rain suddenly down pour the moment it was time for Joelle to walk down the aisle of the outdoor wedding. Other brides may have been mortified by it, but Joelle thought it was perfect. Plus it helped hide any tears!

If they had to plan it all over, what they would 100% include again: They would not change a single thing from their wedding! 

Wedding planning tips for other couples:  Do not get frazzled by all of the chaos that comes with planning the wedding and the actual day. Just roll with it on your wedding day! Let everybody else do the work for you on your big day. Your only job on your wedding day is to say yes and have the best day of your life! Having a timeline and trusted vendors is also so important!
