A Winter Wedding at Gervasi Vineyard

Megan always wanted to get married at a vineyard  so when it came time to choose a venue for her and Ivan’s wedding, Gervasi Vineyard in North Canton was the perfect choice.  Megan’s parents met in North Canton when they where teenagers so the area has a special significance for her and her family.  The Ballaria Sophia in the Villa Grande offered the intimate environment for the ceremony and reception that they had envisioned.  Megan and Ivan arranged their day to really maximize the amount and quality of time that they could spend talking and interacting with their friends and family.  They had their first look inside the conservatory and we were able to finish all of the bridal party and family photos before any of the guests arrived.  Once the ceremony started, we were able to stay completely hands off and just let them enjoy their day.

Ivan and Megan have a history with dance floors.  Their first kiss took place on the perpetually sticky dance floor of Purdue’s Where Else bar their senior year and they are always the couple out lighting up the dance floor when they are guests at weddings.  With Ivan’s background in ballroom dancing, there was a good chance that their first dance was going to be one to remember.  And it was. They covered every corner of that dance floor and really set the pace for the rest of the evening.  Everyone seemed to have a blast out there and it was so great seeing Megan and Ivan right in the middle of the action for most of the night.

Megan and Ivan – we had a great time with you guys and thank you so much for trusting us to photograph your day.  We have a ton of great stuff for you guys but in the meantime here are some of our favorites.  Enjoy!

A pair of elegant white wedding shoes with decorative straps and gemstone embellishments rests on a polished wooden surface, reflecting gently in the gleaming wood. A groom's wedding accessories neatly arranged: polished brown leather shoes with blue shoelaces, a gray tie, a white handkerchief with red initials, and a burgundy suspender for the reception. A young man dressed in a white shirt and suspenders embraces an older man in a suit in front of large wooden doors with glass panes. Light streams through the windows, creating a warm, heartfelt atmosphere at the wedding ceremony. The photo is credited to Genevieve Nisly Photography. A person pours amber-colored liquid from a bottle into a row of clear glass tumblers, set neatly on a reflective surface, at a warmly lit reception. A group of men in formal attire, including suits and ties, cheerfully toasting with beer glasses at a wedding reception in a rustic room with stone walls and a large chandelier. A woman in a white robe sits on a bed, smiling as she reads a letter. The setting is cozy, with warm lighting emphasizing the intimate moment after her wedding ceremony. A groom, sitting and covering his face with his hand, appears emotional as an older man stands beside him smiling warmly, both in a rustic room with stone walls and vintage decor at a wedding reception. A young girl in a white fluffy coat stands thoughtfully among a group of men in blue suits, adjusting each other's boutonnieres, at a wedding ceremony. A bride in a white lace dress receives assistance with her gown from two women, one in burgundy and one in black, in a room with yellow textured walls and bright windows during a wedding ceremony. A bride in a lace wedding dress shares a joyful moment with an older woman in a black coat, both smiling and embracing near a window with natural light at a wedding reception in Akron.
