The Mansion at Maple Heights is an absolutely *lovely* location for your wedding or your wedding reception.  Upon my arrival the first time I was there,  I was in awe of the gorgeous craftsmanship of the wood (which is basically everywhere you look!).  The entryway is stunning with a staircase that wraps around up to the second floor.

Each room within the mansion is used for different things.  In this case, they were used for a place where guests could congregate during cocktail hour:

This next photo is of the library:

As I’m walking around, I hear Tristan in the library shouting for me to come and see something.  Now, I know what you’re thinking….Tristan….in a LIBRARY?!  Yes, I agree.  Totally crazy.  But there he was, telling me that I needed to see something in one of the cabinets…..

He opens the cabinet so I can get a closer look…..

This mansion was built in 1903.  It has numerous unique nooks and crannies.  It just so happened that Tristan found one.  This guy has a nose like a bloodhound when it comes to alcohol.  Turns out, during Prohibition, the owner of the house made little hiding spots for his alcohol, making it a speakeasy!  Cool!

This makes Tristan VERY happy.  HAHAHAHAHA!

I leave Tristan alone and come back to find him in a different room.  Look how suspicious he looks…..

He’s saying “What?!  I didn’t do anything!”  Turns out, he found another hiding spot!  HAHA!!!!!

He’s so proud of himself.  🙂

Vanessa and J.Greg had clear blue skies for their wedding day.  The great thing about photos is that you can’t tell how incredibly HOT it was!  It didn’t matter to this couple though….they embraced every special moment the entire day.  Here is a preview of what’s to come:

Stay tuned for the full blog post on their wedding next week!
