kay + mike

When I Skyped with Kay and Mike, who live in San Fran, Kay gushed on how magical her Father’s backyard was.  Located in Toledo’s Old West End, the home itself is historic but the landscaping, gardens, darling little gate are quite dreamy.  I had hoped for blue skies for their ceremony as relocating there ceremony inside Registry Bistro was the back up plan, which would have been fine but nothing beats a garden ceremony! Their ceremony was a perfection… touching readings by both Mother’s, written vows that had all of the bridesmaids sniffling and oh yeah, we had SUNSHINE!

We did creative portraits at our fav buildings at TMA, the Frank Gehry CVA is steel blue which complemented Mike’s jacket perfectly.  Kay was giving me modern bride vibes head to toe so it was a delight to visit the CVA.

To end the night, Registry Bistro held the reception and we all dined on some of Toledo’s best food… yes even us wedding vendors! Chef Erika Rapp’s gnocchi is so amazing, I need to get some carryout of that! We ended our night with fireworks provided by the Mud Hens… thank you very much.

It was a pretty terrific day! I saw two couples whose weddings I photographed which made my heart so warm to catch up with them. Kay and Mike are just so lovely together, they are smitten with one another and it was an honor to document the day. Congrats you two! Hope you are enjoying your mini moon on the west coast!
