I absolutely loved spending time with Katlyn and Austin during their engagement session, so I already had a feeling their wedding day was going to be something really special — and Tin Roof Events in Sidney, Ohio did not disappoint. From the moment I arrived, it was clear this venue was the perfect fit for them. Surrounded by beautiful open land, it offers so much variety for portraits, a stunning ceremony location, and a gorgeous barn reception space that feels both cozy and elevated.

A Lakeside Ceremony and Golden Hour Portraits

The ceremony took place near the pond, with the beach-style shoreline as the backdrop, and it quickly became one of my favorite spots of the entire day. That area is especially magical during golden hour — and wow, did we get lucky. The sunset that evening was one of those rare, truly glowing golden hours that photographers dream about. Katlyn and Austin were absolutely radiant, soaking in the moment together as the sun dipped low and wrapped them in the warmest light.

Timeless Style and Thoughtful Wedding Details

Katlyn looked like an absolute princess on her wedding day. From her dress to the way she glowed surrounded by her bridesmaids, everything about her presence was effortless and joyful. Austin looked equally incredible in his blue suit, complemented perfectly by his groomsmen in slightly darker blue tones. The color palette throughout the day was cohesive, timeless, and photographed beautifully.

A Cozy Barn Reception and Sparkler Exit

The barn reception space was decorated so thoughtfully, with details that truly reflected Katlyn and Austin as a couple. One of my favorite touches was seeing large prints from their engagement session displayed throughout the reception — it honestly warmed my heart. I love when couples incorporate their photos into their wedding day; it makes everything feel even more personal and meaningful.

We wrapped up the night with a fun sparkler exit, the perfect ending to a day full of love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. Katlyn and Austin, thank you so much for trusting me to capture your wedding day — it was truly a joy from beginning to end. 🤍
