Wedding at The Hyeholde in Moon Township

Yukiko and Brian were married at The Hyeholde Restaurant in Moon Township. Their ceremony was held outside in a secluded lawn that is surrounded by a garden and trees. Yukiko got ready in the dressing room there and this portrait by Alex Jones happens to be one of my favorites of her.

Yukiko had everything together and was ready well before her ceremony so that we had plenty of time to photograph her inside and outside.

This is another favorite of mine. It was so much fun to work with her.

Here’s Brian as his bride was walking down the aisle. He’s so proud.

The ceremony was short and sweet. Yukiko’s maid of honor read a Japanese poem and Brian’s sister-in-law read it’s translation in English. The couple met while teaching in South Korea. Brian taught English and Yukiko taught Japanese. Now they’re getting ready to plant some roots in the States.

They held hands whenever possible and that just makes me smile.

They’re both so elegant and reserved, that it was fun to see them be silly with one another.

Here are two more favorites. The first is by Alex. I think this is a great example of what you can expect with two photographers. It’s the same moment, but there’s a lot more variety when designing an album this way.

Yukiko brought some great wedding favors from Japan. The “beckoning cat” is a common Japanese figure believed to bring good luck.

These beautifully wrapped packages contained green tea cookies. Thanks to Alex for capturing these details!

Here’s a view of the Round Room at The Hyeholde.

Yukiko and Brian were very sweet when it came to cutting the cake. No cake smashing here!

I heard the baker mention the cake was made with Scharffen Berger chocolate and raspberry ganache and judging by Yukiko’s reaction, it must have been good. The Hyeholde is great place for smaller weddings. Their food is delicious and the intimate setting is very romantic. It’s tucked into a residential neighborhood, but that is quickly forgotten after winding through the long drive to the main building. And it’s a photographer’s delight with stunning scenery.

Yukiko and Brian, thanks for a wonderful day and many blessings to you and your marriage!
