Andrew and Davene’s wedding at Glenmoor Country Club

by James ~ June 23rd, 2009. Filed under: Canton Weddings.

Alright, on to wedding two from this past weekend…

Being that Davene and Andrew where the very first couple to book us for a 2009 date, I think it’s safe to say that we’ve been anticipating this wedding for quite some time. Tricia Dever of Always Eventful has been involved in the planning from word one, so we knew it was going to be a fantastic day, and it did not disappoint. We started the day in Boardman, Ohio with a morning ceremony at St. James Meeting House, one of the oldest churches in the country. Following the ceremony, we took our time exploring the extensive park system in Youngstown, which provided all kinds of great locations to shoot.

After an afternoon break, we reconvened at Glenmoor Country Club for an amazing food-station/cocktail reception, complete with Jazz trio, floral decor by the one and only Neil Leeson, a photobooth, and dancing. It was a fantastic day with an awesome couple that I don’t think any of us will be forgetting any time soon.

Here are my (James’s) Favorites from the day:

I get a real charge out of finding and capturing images like the one on the left. It was late in the evening, and from thirty or so feet away, I had no idea what specifically triggered this embrace and I don’t think they knew that anyone was watching, but I am very glad to have captured this moment for them. Hopefully, Davene and Andrew know exactly what triggered this, and they’ll have this image to remind them of whatever that was for years to come.

It was a long day for everyone, but Grandpa was the only one who wasn’t afraid to show it.
