Holly and David’s wedding day was the perfect blend of timeless tradition and joyful celebration. It all began at Holly’s childhood home. Surrounded by her bridal party laughing, chatting, and soaking in the excitement. When it came time to get dressed, her mom and sisters helped her into her gown and shoes. It was such a sweet moment.
Their dog made a quick (and adorable) cameo before everyone headed out.
Their ceremony took place at the University of Dayton Chapel, where Holly and David were married in a beautiful Catholic ceremony. The space was filled with family, friends, and so much love as they exchanged vows in a setting that was both reverent and joyful.
Afterward, we explored the UD campus for portraits with their bridal party and then stole a few moments for just the two of them. The campus, with its beautiful architecture and meaningful memories, made the perfect backdrop.
Their reception at Country Club of the North was the ideal way to end the day. Before joining the party, we jumped on a golf cart and rode around the course. These were some of the sweetest portraits of the day. Just the two of them, in the golden light, soaking it all in.
Inside, the celebration was filled with heartfelt speeches, including one that featured a sweet slideshow of Holly and David’s journey through the years. From childhood snapshots to recent adventures, it was a beautiful tribute to their story.
The evening wrapped up with a packed dance floor and the kind of energy that only happens when everyone is truly celebrating love.
Holly and David, it was an honor to document such a meaningful and joyful day. Thank you for having me on your wedding day! Wishing you both a lifetime of laughter, love, and lots more dancing.
