Courtney Aliah Photography

I had the pleasure of photographing a friends wedding WITH a friend. Jay (aka: Jason) and Mary’s wedding was fun and different. Jay is a personal friend and I shot the wedding with my photographer friend Sara, fun times ! Both those things made the day more special. Jay and Mary decided to see each other before the wedding and get some cool shots around downtown before heading to The Bellamy Mansion for the ceremony and reception.

We started out in the Forrest Hills area among the beautiful oak trees. Check out Mary’s hair piece ! It was hand made for her by Head Full of Feathers- Chamonix, France. As soon as she stepped out of the car and I saw this amazing creation, I knew we were going to have fun. Her dress was AMAZING and Mary looked stunning.

We left Forrest Hills and headed downtown, stopping at at local art gallery that had amazing windows. Next, off to the heart of down town, stopping at local fun spots, guided by Mary with her love of architecture (hint: she has an old brick building as her Facebook Profile picture).

Jay’s best friend owns The Little Dipper, so we stopped in there for a “nature break” and I loved the light at the door so we caught some cool pics while there. Too bad we didn’t get to eat ! Love their food !!

Off to The Bellamy we went. The ceremony was lovely and touching. Mary & Jason are so in love and secure in their relationship. The flowers (Mary , the bride, assembled with the help of some friends) and food were amazing. Angie’s Catering did a fabulous job. Mary also made the dessert Buckeyes. The Key Lime mini-pies were Jason’s favorites, Mary procured those from a friend of hers “in the know”.

Then we partied until the late night hours thanks to DJ Matt Perkins.

We had a great time guys ! Thank you and best wishes ! See you soon
