Ashley and James said “I do” on a radiant June afternoon, with golden sunlight streaming through the grand windows of Stambaugh Auditorium as they exchanged vows. The historic space added an elegant backdrop to their heartfelt ceremony, filled with emotion, laughter, and love.


After the ceremony, we made our way to two iconic Youngstown locations for portraits—Fellows Riverside Gardens, bursting with late-spring blooms, and the timeless Niles McKinley Library, offering a mix of charm and architecture. The couple’s joy was absolutely contagious as we captured them surrounded by nature, history, and a few quiet moments together before the celebration continued.


Ashley’s vision for the day came to life in delicate shades of soft pinks and greens—from her stunning bouquet to the thoughtful details in the reception decor. Everything felt fresh, romantic, and beautifully curated to reflect their love story.


It was a day full of sunshine, sweet moments, and new beginnings. Congratulations, Ashley and James!
