JULIA & TONY
Julia and Tony’s beautiful Bear Ridge wedding was full of love, tradition, and pure joy. From the first pop of champagne to the final song on the dance floor, their day had the perfect blend of meaningful moments and wild fun.
Champagne First, Questions Later
Things kicked off with a champagne pop—and not the quiet kind. Julia and her girls dove straight into celebration mode. There were laughs, happy tears, and that excited buzz in the air that only a wedding morning can bring. SHP team photographer Tabitha captured every moment, from the messy confetti to the sweet little details.
A Church Full of Family History
Their ceremony took place at Tony’s family’s Catholic church. His family has attended for generations, so this was more than just a pretty space—it was home. The ceremony was big, beautiful, and packed with emotion. What made it even better was the people. Everyone we met that day—from bridal party to guests—was kind, warm, and full of love. It felt like one big family reunion, which made every moment that much sweeter.
Lake Erie Views and a Party Bus Ride
After the ceremony, things got even more fun. Julia and Tony rented a party bus, and yes, it was just as lively as you’d imagine. Music played, people danced, and the newlyweds soaked it all in.
They headed to Tony’s family home on Lake Erie for portraits. The view was incredible, with soft lake light and a gentle breeze. It was the perfect spot to slow down, breathe, and take in the beauty of their beautiful Bear Ridge wedding.
The Celebration Continues
The reception at Bear Ridge was full of energy and charm. Guests were greeted with twinkling lights, great food, and an open dance floor that stayed busy all night. Laughter echoed through the space, and there were happy tears during speeches that tugged at everyone’s hearts.
Every little piece of the evening reflected who Julia and Tony are—fun, loving, and deeply connected to their people. From their first dance to the final toast, the whole day felt like a true celebration of their story.
