When it comes to planning a wedding, weather-related challenges are some of the most unpredictable and difficult obstacles to navigate. From rain and wind to extreme heat or cold, it's important to have a solid plan in place to ensure that your big day goes off without a hitch, no matter what Mother Nature has in store- especially if you’re getting married in Ohio.

This past weekend we photographed the most gorgeous wedding at Steam Plant Dayton. K & R began their day downtown, getting ready in the suites at their reception venue. They chose to have a first look together outside in the courtyard before the ceremony. After their first look, we stopped by Hills & Dales MetroPark for a few photos before the ceremony.
