There’s nothing quite like the magic of a New Year’s Eve wedding, and this celebration in downtown Cincinnati was spectacular. We began the day photographing the bride & groom getting ready at the Westin Hotel in downtown Cincinnati, overlooking Fountain Square.

This past weekend was absolutely stunning. On Saturday, Sara & Martin tied the knot in front of their closest family and friends at The Mercantile Library in Cincinnati, and seriously- This venue is literally the type of place I dream about. We even took some portraits on a spiral staircase that leads to a room filled with rare old books. The Mercantile Library is one of the best and most unique places to get married in Cincinnati, and I am a huge fan.

This past weekend was amazing. I photographed three back to back weddings, and it all kicked off for me with celebrating Polly & Tyler’s Columbus wedding at Strongwater Food & Spirits. Even though the forecast warned that we would experience some really nasty weather, the rain held off pretty much the entire day, and we were able to do photos with the bridal party in all the fun spots they had picked out. Wedding photos in downtown Columbus are probably my favorite thing ever. I love Columbus- it’s so nice downtown and there are tons of great spots to take photos.

The Buckeye Barn has the most beautiful barn and outdoor ceremony space. Guests enjoyed a country wedding on a warm & sunny spring day. It was a celebration to remember. They even included one of their dogs- who was, of course, the dog of honor. Enjoy this quick look at Mandy & Justin’s wedding at The Buckeye Barn!

This design set up at the Dayton Arcade was so elegant. There is something so classic and elegant about a black, white & gold wedding color palette. The lounge area had a modern vibe- with a curved white couch and round ottoman - the perfect place for wedding guests to relax and enjoy the party! Another favorite element of this wedding reception set-up was the bar- it looked so classy. What a great design to complement the black and white penny tile floors inside the newly renovated Dayton Arcade.

This look is bold and bright, with tropical details perfect for a summer wedding or event! The acrylic stands almost make it look like the colorful floral arrangements are literally dancing above your head- it’s the very definition of wedding magic.

I am so excited to bring you the second of four styled shoots at Dayton Arcade, a newly renovated historic wedding & event venue in downtown Dayton. The Dayton Arcade is such an exciting new addition to the downtown Dayton wedding venues. It’s quite large and has unique historic architectural elements that make it truly one of a kind. This design was pink & peppy, with lots of details inspired by confetti and champagne.

Yesterday’s wedding at The Cincinnati Art Museum was absolutely stunning. Shannon & Mike tied the knot in front of their family and friends in the courtyard of the museum- a beautiful outdoor ceremony space with the best natural lighting. There were so many great moments throughout the day, but one of my absolute favorites was when Mike first saw Shannon during their first look.

Barn venues are a southern Ohio favorite. They range in style, so they are great for creating so many different looks. A historic barn inherently has some character of its own- so lots of couples opt to showcase their venue and end up saving money on decor and go with minimal decor or decor that enhances the vibe of their chosen space.
