I had a vision of teaming up with some truly outstanding wedding professionals to stage a styled shoot at one of Ohio's newest wedding venues, Blystone Farms.  I first met Tyler Toles, Blystone's Chef and lead Event coordinator, last summer at a local networking event.  We instantly bonded-- his personality and authenticity are infectious. During our tour of his beautiful venue I suggested we work together on a styled shoot.  Digging deep into my resources I contacted some of my favorite vendors to come together to make this shoot a raging success. Our first contact was Ashley Graham of Oh Deer Photography-- she is an awesome lady and has a way of bringing people together. She then reached out to a group of photographers who she is mentoring and offered them an open invitation to shoot.  Tyler and I both divided the responsibility of finding vendors to join us by donating their time, goods and creativity.  Without the support of our community this shoot would not have been so successful. We had two couples and two different looks, one a traditional winter look-- the other a Boho Chic look that was published in Columbus Monthly Magazine.  We want to thank all of the vendors that provided services for this shoot!

Social Security card or know your Social Security number
Certified copy of the most recent divorce/annulment/dissolution decree, if applicable

Where do we go to get our marriage license?
It depends on the county in which you reside--for Franklin county residents, you simply go to the marriage license department located 373 South High Street, 23rd Floor, Columbus, Ohio 43215. Their hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday; closed on holidays. For couples in surrounding counties, you will need to acquire your marriage license from your local probate court. Out-of-state residents, you will need to obtain your marriage license from the county in which your ceremony will be performed. We are happy to help guide you through this process, simply email runtoanelopement@gmail.com . To obtain the address and/or phone number for your county please visit http://probate.franklincountyohio.gov/about/related-links.cfm
 
What is the fee for a marriage license?
It varies from county to county. Franklin county is only $65.
 
Who may perform a marriage ceremony?
Of course we would be honored to serve you-- however we understand that we couldn’t possibly serve every couple in Ohio. Any licensed and ordained minister/officiant registered with the Secretary of the State of Ohio, Judge, or Mayor is legally able to perform your ceremony.
Unsure if your officiant/minister is licensed by our state?
Check out https://www.sos.state.oh.us/records/minister-licenses/ to verify their license.
