A 1970 Ford & a Lakeside Kiss: Grace & Darryn at The Little Red Barn

Grace & Darryn, now Mr. & Mrs. Kiko, were married at The Little Red Barn in North Lawrence, Ohio. Their day had a kiss by the lake and a very special truck: a 1970 Ford tied to his father's high-school memories.

Getting Ready

Grace's gown hung against the red barn door while the morning came together, and the people closest to her were right there with her.

A 1970 Ford With a Story

Darryn & Grace started their journey next to the 1970 Ford truck that carries his father's memories from high school. It made for portraits that look exactly like them.

A Kiss by the Lake

By the lake, Darryn dipped Grace into a kiss while the water reflected the moment back at them. It's one of the scenes we still think about from their day.

Inside The Little Red Barn

The reception filled the barn's open, wood-lined hall. There were tearful toasts, joyful dancing and plenty of long hugs in between.
