Kristen and Jason | A Malloy’s on the Green Wedding in Cincinnati

We knew Kristen and Jason were a fun-loving couple back when we did their engagement session. They further proved it to us- and everyone else- at their June 15, 2012 wedding. These two had such a fun wedding day that still held so much respect for their commitment to one another. You could see how excited they were to be husband and wife in the smiles that were present throughout the entire day. From lanterns instead of floral bouquets and parasol props during portraits to canvas painting for their reception guestbook, Kristen and Jason made the day their own.

Ceremony: Whitewater Crossing Christian Church | Reception: Malloy’s on the Green

Brittany and Trevor | A Cincinnati Wedding at St. Xavier Church and The Manor House

Brittany and Trevor had an elegant wedding on June 9, 2012. They were married at the beautiful St. Xavier Church in downtown Cincinnati and had their reception at The Manor House. There are so many reasons that this was a great wedding: an emotive first look with Dad, adorable little ring bearers, a super fun bridal party, and a stunning couple allowing us to be apart of their love story ! There was so much emotion throughout the entire event. We’re so glad to have had such a fun and loving couple as clients and are so excited to share images from their day!

How sweet is this first look with Dad? Such a great way to get a few beautiful images with your father on your wedding day!

Brittany was an absolutely stunning bride! :

We love these portraits Steve shot at the park with his infrared camera!

Lisa and Mike | An Elegant Summer Wedding at Wiedemann Hill Mansion

Lisa and Mike were married at one of our favorite venues in Northern Kentucky, Wiedemann Hill Mansion. It was a blustery June 1st, but that didn’t hurt their beautifully intimate outdoor ceremony in Newport! The moody sky added to the mansion’s amazing view of the Cincinnati skyline and made for some great portraits! One of the things we love about this wedding is how emotionally involved everyone was, one of the perks of an intimate wedding day. Lisa told us that “having a small, 60-person wedding was the best decision we made. It allowed us to spend time with all of our guests. Since it was only 60 people, we had to determine who was most important to us.” Determining who makes the final guest list can be difficult, but the rewards are definitely worth it if you want a small affair with your closest family and friends. Lisa’s advice to those in the planning stages? ”Determine what your biggest ‘must have’s’ are and create your budget from there. We had a very tight budget but I don’t feel like anything important was left out or sacrificed.”

A huge thank you to our fellow vendors!

Lisa said her favorite moment of the day was “giving my new husband a high-five after our ceremony was over and we were walking back into the house.” We thought that was pretty great, too. :)

 

Melanie and Jeff | A Downtown Cincinnati Wedding at The Phoenix

It was a hot day in May that Melanie and Jeff said “I do!” But that didn’t stop them from having an amazing wedding. Melanie’s great taste (hello, Jimmy Choos!) made certain that the day was going to look beautiful; add to that a sweetly-in-love couple and she and Jeff made the day stunning. From their emotive first look and outdoor portraits to the Jewish wedding traditions throughout their ceremony and reception, their wedding was full of love and beauty.

Thank you to our fellow vendors who helped make this day so amazing!

Melanie told us that this first look with Jeff was her favorite moment. “…he came down the escalator behind me and it was just amazing.”

How beautiful is this Ketubah?! Love the artistry that obviously went into it.

As she walked down the aisle, “dodi li,” a song in Hebrew that translates to “My Beloved is Mine,” played.

A violin rendition of “Happy Together” was a great choice for their recessional!

Goodwin Lighting did such a great job! This lighting made for beautiful images as Jeff and Melanie danced to “The Luckiest” by Ben Folds Five.

Redline knew how to keep the party going! “Dancing the night away with my husband, family and new family and friends,” Melanie told us, was “another favorite.”

When asked what advice she would give to brides-to-be, Melanie told us this: “Don’t sweat the small stuff, you wont remember it and it wont matter. Have fun and enjoy every meeting, every decision, it is the most fun experience if you allow it to be fun.”

We couldn’t agree more.

Theresa and Travis | A Cincinnati Wedding at Holy Family Church and the Savannah Center

Theresa and Travis were married on May 19, 2012 at Holy Family Church in Price Hill. They are such a cute couple and their images definitely reflect that! With vibrant red flowers, bridal party wear, and reception details, Theresa and Travis had colorful accents throughout the day. Holy Family Church was the perfect setting for their beautiful ceremony, and the Savannah Center made for a great venue for their reception. Congratulations again, Theresa and Travis! We’re so glad we were able to be apart of your wedding day!
