Christina has been the closest cousin I’ve ever had and we have so many memories growing up together. I used to love going to visit her in Conneaut, Ohio in the summer time. We would play in my Grandma’s yard, pick raspberries, act out skits, and bike down to Uncle Ed and Aunt Gert’s house for a popsicles. She was always the one that would tell me how bad I was for opening the ends of my Christmas presents under the tree to peek and see what I was getting. (I still do)

Christina has always dreamed of her knight in shining armor. I remember sitting on her bed one time as she sketched out what her wedding dress was going to look like and she told me all the things she was going to do on her wedding day. In more recent years she spent a few summers down here in Fort Mill, SC. She’s been a faithful friend and she’s held on through really rough times. She’s a hero.

Last year Christina found her man! Anthony Rivers, a sweet guy who she had grown up with in church most of her life… and now her knight had finally come and swept her heart away. She decided to do a winter wedding, and get married in her home town of Conneaut. My whole family ventured up to Ohio for their winter wedding on December 4th. We were met with lots of snow (considering my cousin lives right by Lake Erie) I posted a blog about us in snow… (HERE)

Christina looked incredible in her Stephen Yearick wedding dress.  Her Bridesmaid dresses were from Victoria Secret and Davids Bridal and she hand made the guys boutonnieres. My husband Brandon 2nd shot this wedding with me and he did such a fantastic job.

This is just part one of the weekend. So stay tuned for a day after session under a lovely covered bridge in the snow.

I hope you guys enjoy these!

Congrats Christina and Anthony!
