Taylor & Blaine were married at Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens in Akron, Ohio, and they didn't let a little rain dampen their spirits. Between the conservatory, the gardens and the historic manor house, the day was a mix of elegance and real, easy love, and we captured all of it on photo and video.

Getting Ready

While Taylor got ready, both her mom and her mother-in-law were in the room with her. You could feel how much it meant to have them both there.

Portraits in the Conservatory

Stan Hywet's glass conservatory gave us warm light and greenery in every direction, rain or not.

Rain and Clear Umbrellas

When the rain came, clear umbrellas came out, and the portraits kept going.

The Gardens and the Manor House

Between showers we explored the gardens, the vine-covered arbor and the Tudor Revival manor house that makes Stan Hywet one of Akron's most recognizable wedding venues.

A Small Visitor

One of our favorite details from the day: a butterfly landed on Taylor's hand, right next to their rings.
