Erika & Chris, June 10, 2017, Canfield Casino

#cookinguplove, #slusaysido

We started our day at the beautiful Pavilion Grand Hotel where we headed to the gorgeous 2 floor Bridal Suite where Erika and her girls were finishing up on hair and makeup.  Once Erika was dressed, she had a first reveal with her father.  Meghan headed down to the hotel lobby to grab Chris and the guys and brought them back up for the couple to have their first look on the hotel room’s beautiful outdoor deck.  It was a hot and humid day, but the skies were picture perfect.  We got some great shots of the couple at the hotel and then everyone headed over to Congress Park where we had some fun with the wedding party and did some more stuff with the couple.  We truly enjoyed working alongside with Josh Candelario of A Moment 2 Share as he captured video while we worked with the couple.  The couple were married in front of not only around 170 guests, but also park patrons in the beautiful Congress Park right outside their venue.  The reception was held inside the Canfield Casino where Mazzone Hospitality catered to all the guests’ needs and tastes.  Good friend, Fernando Bustamante held it down in his DJ booth on stage all night and the couple wowed the crowd with a classy choreographed first dance before some very amazing toasts were given to the couple.  It was one for the books and definitely a very memorable day.

Keith and I wish you all the love in the world, Erika and Chris.  Thank you for choosing Hitlin Photography Inc. to capture your special moments!
