Ryan and Amanda, A Real Toledo Wedding by Kurt Nielsen Photography

Ryan and Amanda were married on October 23, 2010 at St. Stephen Church in Toledo.

Before the Wedding, all of the Bridesmaids were very helpful with getting Amanda ready for her big day!

But there are just some things a bride wants to do for herself.

Before the wedding is a great time to do most of the Wedding Party photos, and this day was no different.

Amanda’s dress looked spectacular, and so did the bridesmaids in classic black.

Amanda chose Red and White Roses for her wedding bouquet.

We also were able to do pre-wedding pictures with the groom and his groomsmen.

Everyone always focuses on what the bride is wearing, but what about the groom?  Gotta see his shoes too!

The church was packed with Ryan and Amanda’s family and friends.

Everyone loved their son coming down the aisle in his little red wagon.

The ceremony was a Traditional Catholic wedding ceremony.

And the two became one!

And when it was over, everyone headed outside for the balloon release.

Then it was back inside for the family and wedding party to finish the formal group shots.

We even found this mural on the side of a building near the church and just had to get some portraits in front of it.

Then it was onto the “Land Yacht” from A1 Accurate Limousine.

After showing their son the inside of the Limo, the rest of the wedding party was ready to have a great time!

Then it was on to the Toledo Museum of Art for some incredible photos.

Then it was off to downtown Toledo and the Reflecting Pool behind One Seagate.  Thankfully, the water was gone, which made it easier to get these images because Amanda didn’t have to get wet.

Then it was off to the Wedding Reception at Glass City Boardwalk, where the Black, White and Red themed colors were very prevalent.

You have to like the Ohio State theme that went with the color choice!

Everyone had a great time dancing the night away.

Congratulations Ryan and Amanda!  May you have many happy years together!
