Cierra & Joshua, now Mr. & Mrs. Dean, were married at Bella Amore on Enchanted Acres in Dennison, Ohio. Their day had a heartfelt first look, tearful vows under white draping in the woods, and a reception that ran late into the night. Cierra even had a hand in the sweets: their cake came from Sincerely Yourz, her own business.

A Ceremony in the Woods

Their ceremony was outside under white fabric draped between the trees, with their wedding party in sage and navy beside them.

Portraits Around the Grounds

Afterward we walked the grounds for portraits along the lamp-lined path and by the stone fountain.

Sweets, a First Dance and a Full Dance Floor

Inside, the reception hall's wood ceiling and chandeliers set the scene for their first dance. Their cake came from Sincerely Yourz, Cierra's own business, and the night ended around the fire pit outside.
