Happy Friday all!  I've been so looking forward to sharing this wedding with you.  Arlyn and Niky are the kind of people who remind me why I love this job so much.  Their day was a beautiful representation of the love they share.  It was a delight to capture this season for them...and if you haven't already read about how they fell in love, you can find their story here!  Arlyn & Niky - Train Station Wedding Hartville Ohio - Columbus Ohio Photographer_0044 Arlyn & Niky's wedding day started out bright and beautiful.  The often gray skies that tend to blanket central Ohio during the winter months were nowhere to be found, as though the sun knew February 27th was a day to be celebrated.   Arlyn & Niky - Train Station Wedding Hartville Ohio - Columbus Ohio Photographer_0001 I usually start a wedding day photographing all of the pretty little details and I instantly fell in love with Niky's golden shoes, fur trimmed fingerless gloves, classic pearls, and the tinges of pink sprinkled throughout.

Love her classic look in the shot above! Arlyn & Niky - Train Station Wedding Hartville Ohio - Columbus Ohio Photographer_0017 Arlyn & Niky - Train Station Wedding Hartville Ohio - Columbus Ohio Photographer_0018 Note the little tinge of pink in her skirt!  Niky's dress was a custom creation, and she requested a subtle layer of pink tulle added to her skirt!

Love this last shot of Niky.  I think it encapsulates how beloved brides feel on their wedding days, not just because they've found their favorite person, but because all of their best people have come together to celebrate with them.  Weddings really are the icing of life. Arlyn & Niky - Train Station Wedding Hartville Ohio - Columbus Ohio Photographer_0163 Congratulations, Arlyn and Niky!  You two are meant for one another and it was an honor (and a fun one at that) to witness your day!
