We first photographed Samantha & Tim among the bookshelves of the Medina Library on a sunny February day. A few seasons later they became Mr. & Mrs. Simko at White Birch Barn in Medina, Ohio, on a day full of heartfelt moments, happy tears and the kind of love that feels effortless.

The Details

Their invitation set the tone, and it made the perfect backdrop for the rings.

Getting Ready

Samantha got ready with her bridesmaids close by, while Tim and the guys settled into the groom's lounge before heading out to the willow by the water.

The Wedding Party

The bridesmaids wore rust and teal, which looked right at home against the fields and tall grass around the barn.

A Gazebo Ceremony by the Pond

They said their vows at the white gazebo, with their guests seated on the lawn. From the air you can see how the ceremony site sits right beside the pond, one of our favorite things about this venue.

Night Portraits and the Send-Off

After dark we stepped outside for a few last portraits, with the barn lit up behind them, before their guests lined the path to send them off.
