Toledo Wedding Photographer | Angela and Tony’s October Wedding by Kurt Nielsen Photography

October Wedding in Toledo
Angela and Tony were married on October 8, 2011 at Heritage Church of God in Maumee, OH surrounded by their family and friends.

I got to the church a little before noon and began taking pictures of all of the church decorations and the programs.

When we finished at Perry’s Landing, the bridal party got back into the stretch from Total Image Limosine and headed to the reception at the Knights of Columbus Hall in West Toledo.  While the bridal party was making their way there, I headed in and got some photos of the reception decorations and the beautiful wedding cake from Eston’s Bakery.

The buffet style dinner from Premier Catering was delicious.  Having the buffet line gave the newlyweds a chance to mingle with their guests who were still waiting to eat.

After dinner came the cutting of the wedding cake.  Angela gave the hint that there would be a little bit of a battle when it came to feeding each other the cake.

We moved right into the dances, beginning with the bride and groom’s first dance.  Then we went to the Bride and her brother followed by the groom and his mother dancing.  These dances evoked many more emotions for everyone.

I sure hope Tony let Angela win the Dash for Cash to keep him out of the dog house after the cake incident!  Well, that and the fact that I’m a buckeye fan!

While the rest of the wedding festivities were going on in the main reception room at the hall, my Kurt’s Kustom Green Screen crew was in another room taking fun photo booth pictures of the wedding guests.

Photo Booth Scrapbooks
Each guest got to take home a 4×6 print of their finished photos as a souvenir and we also printed one copy for a scrapbook for the bride and groom.  The guest then got to sign and decorate the pages.  They absolutely LOVED this idea, and so did the bride and groom who got to take it home with them that night!
