Christmas Wedding at St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Steubenville | Elizabeth + Conal

Just days before Christmas, Elizabeth and Conal’s winter wedding in Steubenville, OH was filled with pretty details, family love, and a deep devotion to their Catholic faith.

We woke up to snow flurries and a chilly winter day! But inside Elizabeth’s home, everything was warm, cozy, and ready for Christmas!  Elizabeth’s invitation suite was gorgeous! I loved all the pretty details and had so much fun arranging it! We headed to the church after a joyous first look with her father!

St. Peter’s Catholic Church sits on 4th Street in downtown Steubenville and its twin spires and soaring dome are a prominent sight of the skyline.  Elizabeth and her father walked down the aisle with the biggest smiles on their faces mirrored by Conal’s equally big smile at the end of the aisle.  After saying their vows and exchanging rings, the newly-weds received the Eucharist with such love and devotion.

We braved the wintery elements and captured such beautiful portraits around downtown Steubenville.  I particularly love black and white film images on winter days! We headed to St. Florian Hall in Wintersville, OH for their lovely reception.  Their dance floor was filled with college friends who danced the night away!

Elizabeth and Conal, we had such an amazing time with you and are so thrilled for you!  We hope you had an amazing first married Christmas on your honeymoon! God bless you both!

xoxo,

Laura
