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.

My favorite venue in the Cincinnati area is The Marmalade Lily, and I always look forward to participating in their open houses. If you have never been to a wedding open house, it’s when a venue invites their favorite vendors to set up booths and couples can come enjoy food, desserts, and live music while touring the venue and meeting all the great businesses in attendance. There are often show exclusive offers and giveaways, too!

Yesterday’s wedding at The Transept in Cincinnati was so much fun. The day started off chilly with a little snow, even though it’s already the end of March. Ohio weather can be unpredictable. The bride & groom embraced the day, venturing outside at Washington Park for some portraits with their bridal party.

Joe & Jenn tied the knot yesterday in Cincinnati in front of their family and friends at their Catholic wedding ceremony at Sacred Heart Church. It was a beautiful ceremony and the church was breathtaking. After their ceremony, guests enjoyed dinner & dancing at their reception at Walden Pond Golf Club. I am so excited to share a quick sneak peek from their Cincinnati wedding. A huge congratulations to the Mr. & Mrs.! Wishing you a happiest ever after.

I am so excited to share a quick look at Brie & Ricky’s wedding this past Saturday at Manor House. Everything was absolutely gorgeous at their fall wedding. One of my favorite moments during this wedding, was when the bride did a sneak peek with her bridesmaids. The moments leading up to it with her and her mom in the getting ready room were so special, and her ladies were so excited to see her all ready for her big day!

I have to tell you a little secret about taking photos at Ault Park in Cincinnati. The best time to be there for photos is early in the morning, when the light comes in from behind the gorgeous staircase and fountain. Not only does the light look best, but it’s also way less crowded than it is later in the day. When J & M told me they wanted to do a sunrise engagement session at Ault Park, I was so excited.
