From the minute I sat down with Laura and Andy for coffee last year, I knew I loved these two.  For one thing, they are fellow coffee and travel lovers!  So of course, our souls just clicked.  The more I got to know them and spend time with them planning their wedding day, the longer the list of things I admire about their relationship grew.  At the very top of the list though is the way they simply adore each other, through and through.  They speak so highly of each other always, and show each other kindness and love in everything they do.  I knew this wedding day at Youngstown’s historic B&O Station was going to be such a celebration of family and friends, and it felt extra personal with all the DIY touches that Laura and Andy added!  Laura is one crafty gal, and she MADE her own cake, and the bouquets too!  So talented!  When Laura and Andy began planning their spring wedding, no one could have guessed that the day itself would feel anything but spring like.  It had SNOWED just a few days beforehand, and the temps were a little on the chilly side!  But despite the very un-spring-like day, it was absolutely perfect.  From their First Look to their First Dance, this was a day filled to the brim with love and joy.

Spring Wedding at The B&O Station | Youngstown OH | Laura + Andy

Laura’s mama gave her this embroidered handkerchief, what a keepsake!

While I was with the ladies, Allison got to hang out with the guys at Andy’s hotel room!

So excited to see her husband!!!

Those smiles!!

Bridal party portraits are just so boring.

Bridal tip:  choose a dress you can TWIRL in!!!

Laura had a shot of whiskey before her first date with Andy, so she had to share a shot of whiskey with her girls before walking down the aisle!

Officially official!

Laura and Andy surprised their guests with a First Dance that would have made Fred Astaire jealous!  I thought they secretly took dance lessons, but they learned it from YouTube!!  I have never been so impressed!

After dinner, we snuck upstairs for a moment alone before the party began.  Love these newlywed portraits!!

DJ Branden doing his thang.

If you have an event at the B&O, this right here is the Boss Lady!  Love you Amy!

Friends since high school!

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Melnick!!!

Annnnnnd just because a little peek behind the scenes is always fun!  One thing is for sure, there’s never any shortage of fun with us on wedding days!
