Wedding Reception in Merriman Valley

I have to say, after nearly to 400 weddings, this was close to being the fastest wedding ceremony of my career. But why fuss around with extraneous details? They did what they had to and were married. Their Wedding Reception in Merriman Valley was ready to go.

After the wedding ceremony and some important family pictures, Joe and Ashley wanted to go to a local pub in Merriman Valley. This was a great idea because the wedding party could get a beverage, the bride and groom could relax, and I could get some great candid pictures. This was a good break from the wedding day. The wedding party seemed to have a lot of fun before the wedding reception.

Wedding Pictures at Everett Road Covered Bridge

We did do some “formal” portraits outside, but those were quick and painless. After a visit to the iconic Everett Road Covered Bridge, a VERY popular location for wedding pictures in Akron, we returned to the G.A.M.C for the wedding reception.

DJ Chris Mears was great and kept everything organized and running smoothly during the reception. Amber Cool had double duty as a bridesmaid and wedding coordinator. She did such a great job and my assistant, Kristen, and I would like to thank her for all of her efforts.

I also want to thank Joe and Ashley for being so great to work with. Finally, I want to thank their families for being so great to work with, the Greater Akron Motorcycle Club for their generosity with Joe and Ashley, and finally Joe’s mom, Jennifer, for allowing me the honor of taking part in this great day.
