Sadie and Nathan’s wedding day overflowed with love, laughter, and beauty—and you’d never guess from the photos just how chilly it was for the end of May!

They were married in a reverent Traditional Latin Mass at the breathtaking Shrine of St. Elizabeth of Hungary in Cleveland, Ohio. The grandeur of the church set the perfect tone for their Nuptial Mass. After the ceremony, guests were treated to a sweet surprise—an ice cream truck waiting outside while we captured family portraits inside the church!

From there, we made a quick stop at a rather unexpected location: a bougie McDonald’s! It might not be your typical wedding day backdrop, but the photos turned out to be some of my favorites—fun, playful, and completely them!

We wrapped up formal portraits at a nearby location just steps from their reception venue. The classic brick architecture, stately white columns, and blooming purple salvia created the dreamiest setting for their romantic portraits.

Their reception was filled with joy but one of the most unforgettable moments was their choreographed first dance. With a shared history in ballroom dancing, Sadie and Nathan chose a graceful waltz that left everyone in awe—a perfect reflection of their story!

Sadie and Nathan, thank you for the honor of capturing your beautiful day. Your joy, intentionality, and love for one another were a gift to witness!

Xoxo,
Mary Kate
