Hey, I’m Cassidy! I’m an Ohio photographer specializing in weddings and families, a mom, and someone who truly loves the planning just as much as the photos. I’m here for the timelines, the thoughtful details, and the moments you didn’t even realize were happening — and I’ll never say no to a beach trip when work is done.

A Vibrant Fall Wedding at Carillon Park

It’s not often that wedding days line up perfectly with peak fall color, but Kristin and Adam’s Carillon Park wedding was one of those magical days where everything came together effortlessly. The autumn leaves were vibrant, the light was golden, and the atmosphere felt romantic from start to finish. Carillon Park truly showed off its beauty that day!

Carillon Park offers such a wide variety of portrait locations! This makes it ideal for couples who want a seamless and relaxed wedding day experience without traveling between locations.

A Sweet First Look Surrounded by Fall Color

Kristin and Adam chose to do a first look, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Tucked beside a vibrant orange tree, their first look felt intimate and emotional, with fall color surrounding them in every direction. Kristin looked like an absolute princess in her stunning ballgown wedding dress paired with a tiara — a timeless and regal look that fit the grandeur of the venue beautifully. Adam complemented her perfectly in a classic black suit, looking sharp and sophisticated.

After their first look, we spent time capturing portraits nearby, fully taking advantage of the colorful foliage that made this Carillon Park wedding feel extra special.

Bridal Party Portraits & Iconic Park Details

From there, we made our way toward one of the most charming features of Carillon Park — the bridge adorned with twinkling lights. Between the glowing lights, fall leaves, and this joyful couple, the scene felt straight out of a storybook. Their bridal party joined shortly after, adding even more energy and fun to the portraits.

The groomsmen looked timeless in black suits, while the bridesmaids wore soft blue dresses that stood out beautifully against the warm fall tones. As we headed back toward the ballroom, we stopped for portraits near the historic trains along the way — a unique detail that makes Carillon Park weddings so distinctive.

A Grand Ballroom Ceremony

The Carillon Park ballroom is truly a showstopper. With its deep navy blue ceiling, elegant chandeliers, and dramatic dual staircases, it creates an unforgettable setting for a wedding ceremony. The lighting in the room added a romantic glow as Kristin and Adam exchanged vows, surrounded by their family and friends.

Following the ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktail hour while the venue staff transformed the ballroom for the reception. During that time, we snuck outside for sunset portraits — and the golden glow did not disappoint. These quiet moments together at sunset are always some of my favorite images of the day

Celebration, Dancing & a Sparkler Exit

The reception was full of joy from start to finish — cake cutting, first dances, heartfelt speeches, and a packed dance floor kept the celebration going all night long. To end the evening, Kristin and Adam exited through a sparkler send-off, surrounded by cheering loved ones. It was the perfect ending to a beautiful fall wedding day.

Congratulations again, Kristin and Adam! It was such an honor to capture your Carillon Park wedding, and I can’t wait to celebrate many future milestones with you both!
