Matt and Alexa’s wedding at the Conrad Botzum Farmstead

by James ~ June 8th, 2009. Filed under: Akron Weddings.

This stuff just never gets boring. One week we’re shooting on the roof of a hotel in downtown Cleveland, and the next we are on a historic farmstead nestled snuggly in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. From the old fashion lemonade stand, to the lawn games, bluegrass band, and hay bails as seats, Matt and Alexa put together an amazing wedding that I’m sure their guests will be talking about for a long time to come.

We have definitely enjoyed shooting at Conrad Botzum Farmstead in the past and this time was no different. We explored a few new nooks and corners and happened to find a sweet looking old love seat stuffed away in the smaller barn. Once we saw it, we knew we had no choice but to drag it out and use it. I found out later from Matt that the owner’s wife saw the couch and was mortified by seeing her “junk” sitting out in the lawn for everyone to see. As it turned out, everyone loved it and we even saw a number of guests use the seat for their own photos!

Alright, enough talk, on to the images. Genevieve’s favorites:

    Thanks, Mom! This wedding did make me think of you and Dad a lot. He would have loved the bluegrass band and you would have loved the overall look and feel of the wedding.
