Gianna and Joel are both music teachers. Their families come from all over the tri-state area, so they decided to host their wedding ceremony at their alma mater, Youngstown State.

These two were married just after school let out – and any music teacher can tell you, that’s a busy time of year with all the school concerts. I’m sure Gianna and Joel loved being able to relax and get away on their honeymoon!

These two had so many wonderful surprises throughout the day. Joel’s brother was able to make it home *just* in the nick of time from his military duties in order to serve as best man! And Gianna picked an absolutely gorgeous garden for her bridal portraits and couples’ portraits – I can see why it was so popular with the brides and grooms on this beautiful spring day.

Congratulations, you two! I wish you a lifetime of love and happiness together!
