Ian & Ashley's wedding at Oberlin College felt like stepping into a storybook. Every detail reflected their love and creativity, from their medieval theme to the custom clothing Ian made himself (aside from the dresses). It was a one-of-a-kind celebration, and we're grateful we got to capture it.

The Details

Crowns, chain mail, purple florals and gold: the details carried the theme all the way through.

Arriving by Carriage

Ashley arrived in a white horse-drawn carriage, which set the tone for the whole day.

Portraits Around Oberlin

Oberlin's stone buildings and arches made a natural setting for a medieval wedding. Ian's handmade tunic fit right in.
