Katie and Ray’s 1st Wedding Anniversary by Kurt Nielsen Photography

Today marks Katie and Ray’s first wedding anniversary!  They were married on July 9, 2010 at The Pinnacle in Maumee in a beautiful outdoor ceremony on the terrace.
Katie and Ray met me at the Toledo Museum of Art prior to the ceremony for some formal pictures.  Of course, shortly after they arrived, it began to rain.  But that didn’t stop us from getting some amazing pictures!
Congratulations Katie and Ray from Kurt Nielsen Photography!  May you have many more years of happiness together! (and lots more kids…lol!)

Toledo Wedding of Krista and Josh by Kurt Nielsen Photography

Krista and Josh were married on November 13, 2010 surrounded by family and friends at The Pinnacle in Maumee, OH.
And although it was a bit chilly, we did manage to get outside to take pictures on The Pinnacle’s beautiful terrace.
The Pinnacle did an amazing job and the reception was very elegant.
Krista’s mom made the beautiful fall colored flowers for the bouquets and centerpieces.

Josh went to Jared!
Krista and Josh had a beautiful serving platter for their guests to sign, which they will be able to use for years to come.
Krista had some great ideas to make her wedding unique, like the coffee and candles that were used to mark place settings for their guests.  They smelled so good!
All of the guests took home a small box of scented leaf shaped soap, which matched the fall theme of their wedding.
Krista’s dad cried when Krista went to Ohio State, but that didn’t stop her from adding a buckeye touch to the wedding!
The dinner speeches were quite interesting and many stories were told, including how Josh almost blew up his high school science lab! Everyone loved Krista’s dad’s gift to the couple, a book called “Card Games Properly Explained.”
Chad from Ice Creations made an amazing double luge ice sculpture for the reception.  The wedding invitation was in the sculpture!
The wedding cake was beautifully decorated.
Gary from Z-man Sounds provided the musical entertainment for the evening.
We had a great time at the reception with Kurt’s Kustom Keepsakes green screen photo booth!
The guests were so creative!
Congratulations to Krista and Josh!  May you have many happy years together!

Toledo Wedding Photographer – Katie and Ray

Katie and Ray were married July 9, 2010 at The Pinnacle in Maumee, OH.  This was the first outdoor ceremony held on their new Twylite Terrace where they did not need to use tents!

Breaking from tradition because Katie and Ray had an evening wedding, we met before the ceremony at The Toledo Museum of Art for some formal location portraits.

Even though it began raining within just a few minutes of Katie and Ray’s arrival at the museum, we were able to capture quite a few beautiful portraits!  Luckily, the rain didn’t last long, but boy did it pour!

Then it was off to The Pinnacle for the ceremony and reception.

Can you tell they are Cincinnati Bengals fans?

During the ceremony, Ray gave Katie’s two daughters a beautiful heart pendant as a token of his love and commitment to them in this new marriage.

The beautiful cake was from Memorable Creations.

The flowers from from Lynn from Pollynn Flowers.

After all of the formalities were finished, …

…the crowd danced the night away to the sounds of Mike from Decorative Sound.

We also brought Kurt’s Kustom Keepsakes (Green Screen Photo Booth) for added entertainment!

Everyone had a blast with the Green Screen, even the father of the bride!

Katie has been a friend and customer of mine for a number of years and it was my pleasure and an extreme honor to be able to be part of her special day!  Congratulations Katie and Ray!
