This wine and tan Rosedale Bible College winter wedding is filled to the brim with holiday magic. Kelly and Aaron got married just ten days before Christmas and their winter wedding was absolutely dreamy. The bridesmaids’ wine dresses and the groomsmen’s tan vests perfectly complimented the winter scenery at Rosedale Bible College in Columbus, Ohio. […]

This year was simply too good for words — so I put it in a video instead.

Thank you for an absolutely wonderful year.

Happy new year, dear friends!! And what a year it’s been. 2019 was a wonderful one for Catherine Milliron Photography, and since it’s been such a fantastic year, I figured it was only fitting for me to round up all the best behind-the-scenes photos I could find. 

There are candids, bloopers, inside peeks at a wedding day — everything you could ever want! From grainy cell phone pics to spontaneous photos with tourists in Philadelphia, this gallery has a little something for everyone. 

Taryn and Dan’s gorgeous October wedding was held in Cleveland, Ohio at Brennan’s Catering + Banquet Centers. One of Taryn’s favorite colors, blush pink, was sprinkled throughout her day – from her blush wedding dress, to her bridesmaids dresses, to her florals, and even to her cake. Gold accents perfectly complimented the delicate pink elements of the day, and it all came together beautifully at Brennan’s venue.

Goodness, where do I even start? Emily and Daniel’s day was absolutely breathtaking. They got married at the cutest venue I’ve ever seen – the Mohicans is a wedding venue that not only features the most gorgeous scenery, but also the most adorable luxury treehouses. Like ARE YOU KIDDIN ME?? It was so precious and was the perfect location to celebrate two of the kindest humans I’ve ever met.

We woke up on Lyssa + Jonathan’s wedding day to a forecast of rain and thunderstorms, but they ended up having the PERFECT weather for their beautiful wedding at the Christian Reformed Conference Grounds, just outside of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The lovely ceremony venue overlooks Lake Michigan, and it provided the perfect backdrop as this precious couple said “I do.”

I think this might actually be the longestttt wedding blog post I’ve ever written (so grab a snack and get ready for ALL the wedding prettiness) but it’s truly just because Hannah and Mike’s stunning wedding day at Little Brook Meadows in Lancaster, Ohio was just so full of precious moments that I couldn’t help but share with you! The whole week leading up to their wedding the forecast showed rain, so Hannah and I were frantically texting about rain plans and praying for good weather, and when their big day arrived it was sunny and beautiful. This elegant venue outside of Columbus provided the perfect backdrop for these two to say “I do” in front of all of their family and friends.

Michaela and Michael said their vows on one of the prettiest January days I have ever seen. The sun was shining over the town of Saint Joseph, which sits right on the shore of Lake Michigan, the perfect backdrop for their wedding day. One of the most touching details of the day was that Michaela chose to wear her mother’s wedding gown (cue ALLLLLL the tears). Her grandfather officiated and their best friends led in worship during the ceremony, which was followed by a reception with all their family and friends. After that, they snuck away to the harbor for a few moments together as brand new husband and wife, before returning for dinner with a group of their nearest and dearest.

Once upon a time, one of my dearest friends in the whole world asked me to be in her wedding. Saying yes to being a bridesmaid in Megan and Jay’s Michigan winter wedding was one of the easiest decisions I’ve ever made. Then, Megan asked me another question – if I would also do double duty as her wedding photographer. My initial gut reaction was to excitedly say yes, but then my logistical side started panicking. Was it even remotely possible to be a photographer AND a bridesmaid??

Megan and Jay were married on the most magical December day, just ten days before Christmas. Their Muskegon, Michigan wedding (just outside of Grand Rapids) was full of the most perfect cranberry and gold details, lending the most dreamy, wintery touches to their already stunning day. Evergreen branches, chalkboard signs, and wood slice ornaments unified the decor and created a welcoming and homey atmosphere as their nearest and dearest gathered together to celebrate them as they said “I do.”

The best of weddings, engagements, and portraits from the best year for this little business yet. I love my couples and clients with my whole soul and it’s only because of them that I get to do what I do. I couldn’t be more thankful for each and every person who has allowed me to document their best moments this year.

My heart is so thankful + so full. So wonderfully full.

If there ever was a picture perfect wedding day, it was this one. Heather and Javier’s wedding day welcomed the most beautiful November weather Dallas has to offer as they tied the knot at the Texas Discovery Gardens at Fair Park. Heather and Javier were surrounded by their nearest and dearest as they said their vows in an intimate ceremony on the lawn, followed by a brunch reception featuring a donut wall they crafted themselves.
