James and Meryl's Schuster Center Wedding

Meryl and James lucked out and had the perfect weather for their July wedding...not too hot and plenty of clouds (photographers love clouds!).  The break in the summer heatwave allowed us to photograph all around Dayton giving us lots of backgrounds to play with :)

Their use of aqua at the Schuster was a perfect way to tie in the Winter Garden's signature aqua colored beams.  The square tables and linens from Prime Time Party Rental gave the room a clean contemporary feel. Can you believe that they handmade all those paper flowers covering the staircase!?  So pretty, but definitely a labor of love.  The dessert bar was a big hit with kids of all ages, especially the R2D2 groom's cake.  Darth Vader even made an appearance on the garter.  Who says you can't have a StarWars theme at a wedding?

We had a wonderful time with James and Meryl's super sweet family and friends.  And of course, photographing Meryl and James is always a treat for us since they are so cute together.  Their engagement session was one of our favorites from this year.  Fell free to leave messages for the newlyweds below in Comments.  Don't forget that there are more photos for you to view and tag on the studio's Facebook page.  Congrats!
