Liberty Barn Church Wedding: Nancy & Jon

She's been planning and dreaming of this day for years...Nancy made sure every detail was decided and planned to a "T" throughout the many months from the moment she gave a resounding, "YES" to Jonathan's proposal. 

To take a line from her sister's toast, "There once were 3 princesses..."

Nancy fit that description exactly...and although there was laughter and fun with the stories told, it was evident that she isn't just a "princess" on the outside...She radiants sincerity and kindness...she is genuine and real...and that, in and of itself, is only a small part of why Jonathan loves her so completely. 

And Jonathan...he is a pillar of strength and stability.  He has guided and protected, loved and cherished her...for so long.  Together they have already weathered tragedy and sickness, pain and loss...and through it all, they have remained each other's constant!

Jon & Nance, it has been an honor and privilege to know you...to watch you with each other...to see your concern and unconditional love of family.  Thank you for the opportunity share your most special day...

 Despite a season of incredible rain...for days and days on end...it was as if God said, "Let the clouds be still for just a day..." And so the sky parted and the sun shone brilliantly...

The contrast between the brilliance outdoors to the richness inside was breath-taking...

All of her "girls" waited on her and were thoroughly soaking in the day alongside Nancy...as she prepared to see Jonathan...

She was radiant as she walked down on her Daddy's arm...

Jonathan & Nancy had some incredibly special moments during their ceremony...one of which, those who wished, could pray a blessing over their rings...it was overwhelming to see the outpouring of love in the room for this couple...

The church itself gave the feeling of reverence, promise and hope...

When the ceremony ended, everyone had a few moments to collect themselves and we were able to snap just a few images before we headed to the reception...

and it was wonderful to take some time to breathe in the fragrance of the bouquets created by Flowers on Orchard Lane...they were absolutely gorgeous!

We needed just a few more "together" pictures and Jonathan & Nancy were happy to oblige:)

Scioto Reserve had a beautiful backdrop for the celebration that followed...

The entrances were memorable...the toasts were unforgettable...the dances were touching...

laughter...tears...more laughter...more tears...

And then...Jonathan and Nancy led their guests into a celebration like none other!!!

Friends and family joined in...and the festivities lasted well into the evening...

Thank you again, Jonathan and Nancy, for the privilege of "photo-journaling" your day...You are an inspiring, endearing and generous couple...

I know that God will bless your marriage...may your love grow more and more each day!
