Congratulations Vicki and Max

Vicki and Max were married on November 21st at the Cincinnati Art Museum. It was a very intimate ceremony and the blue octagonal room in the museum was the perfect setting. Stephen Hoffman did a beautiful job with the ceremony. We had a lot of fun roaming around the museum taking photos. Everywhere we looked there was a new idea. The groom choose the location and he some wonderful ideas for photos with some of his favorite art pieces. Since I am an art nut I loved being inspired by the surroundings. Vicki and Max thank you for letting me be a small part of your special day - I loved working with you two!

Congratulations Christy and Nate

Friday I started by photographing Christy getting ready at The Westin with her girls. She looked absolutely stunning in her dress. She has been one of my most organized brides and yet she had so many great details to organize for her wedding day. When we started photographing Nate and his guys, I couldn't help but see Nate's excitement. The ceremony in the grand hall of the art museum was stunning. When Christy started her walk down the aisle I was starting to get choked up. We we have really gotten to know this couple and it just was an amazing moment. After the ceremony we went to Eden Park for a few photos. Steve from Glass Eye Video was so great to work with and he had some great ideas at the park. You can see his awesome trailer on his blog! The great hall was transformed into the reception room once we returned. The peach lighting on the ceiling was so unique. Christy really picked her color scheme to compliment the building. Overall the day was absolutely wonderful. A big thanks to her fabulous friends and family who were a blast to be with all day. To their vendors- you all are fantastic! And to Christy and Nate - you two have been so wonderful to work with and I know you are going to love all of your photos. Enjoy the rest of your honeymoon!

Congratulations Erin and Richard

Monday we photographed Erin and Richard's beautiful wedding. The weather wasn't so great in the morning but when we arrived at Dress Pavilion the weather couldn't have been more perfect. When Erin arrived you could just feel her excitement. One of the first things that greeted her in her dressing room was a beautiful bouquet from Richard. Way to go Richard! She started to cry. The ceremony was under the beautiful gazebo and Stephen Hoffman did a great job with the service. After the ceremony we did just a few photos and then dinner was served. The string quartet from Innocenti Strings played for both the wedding and the reception. It was a very elegant and romantic wedding. My favorite part was how intimate it was. The couple had their family and their best friends and enjoyed their evening with those that are so dear to them. The guests were all so nice and we felt so included and blessed to be a part of their very intimate wedding. Erin and Richard - thank you so much for choosing us as your photographers, it is truly an honor.

The elegant flowers were by Florence Nursery.

McHale's Catering did an awesome job with the food. It was delicious and so filling. Oh and the chocolate fountain was definitely a chocolate lover's favorite.
