Location Photos

After we finished with the photos at the church, the bridal party hopped into the limo bus from Birmingham Limo to the destinations where Jordyn wanted to take pictures. When planning her wedding day timeline, Jordyn allowed time in between the wedding ceremony and the reception to go to multiple places. We started at Maumee Bay State Park Lodge where we took some photos inside the lobby and on the grounds of the park. Then we headed to Middlegrounds Metro Park and Downtown Toledo followed by the Toledo Museum of Art. Finally, we went to Fleetwood’s Tap Room in Hensville to warm up and grab some refreshments. The downtown area was all lit up with Christmas Lights. By the time we arrived at Fleetwoods, it was dark outside. We were able to take a few shots of the bride and groom outside with the Christmas lights in the background.
