One thing I absolutely love to do is work on creative editorials and branding sessions with my fellow Dayton and Cincinnati wedding vendors. When my friends from Blush & Bloom Weddings and Let’s Do Makeup and Hair told me what they had in mind for this editorial wedding photo shoot, I was beyond excited to be a part of it.

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.

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.

It’s already Wednesday, and just in case you need a little mid-week pick me up, I put together a list of 8 gorgeous bridal bouquets. I don’t know about you, but there is something about lavish floral arrangements that always brings a smile to my face. Whenever I arrive at a wedding, I am always excited to see the florals- especially the bouquets. So much personality comes through the florals that a couple chooses.

This past Saturday I had the honor of photographing Matt & Sarah’s gorgeous wedding in Downtown Dayton. Sarah began the day at Salon 5, where she got ready and did a fun first look with her bridesmaids. She chose to only have her two maids of honor and her mother in the room while she got into her wedding dress to keep her look a surprise for the rest of girls. Then everyone headed to the University of Dayton, where the ceremony was held.

Recently Top of the Market hosted an open house and some of Dayton’s best wedding vendors came together to put together an amazing event. Top of the Market is an incredible historic wedding venue in Dayton, OH. They have two different ceremony and reception spaces. We set up a table in the upstairs event space for the open house.

Last weekend the Hilton Garden Inn in Beavercreek, Ohio hosted a fabulous wine mixer for wedding vendors. The event was sponsored by Dayton wedding vendors who all donated their services to make the evening a success.
