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.

Going inside The Dayton Arcade is something I have wanted to do for as long as I can remember. My grandmother used to shop there, many years ago. I have heard so many times about how insanely beautiful the inside of the building is. When the opportunity to photograph a styled shoot there popped up, I knew I had to be there! I am so excited to show you guys what it looks like now, after all the renovations have been completed. This historic downtown Dayton location is ready to take on weddings!

I love a meaningful engagement session location, and when L & E told me they wanted to have their photos taken at the University of Dayton where they met, I was so excited. During their time at UD, these two lovebirds lived just a few houses away from one another. When the time came for Evan to move, he and Liz didn’t know what to expect, but felt sad that they wouldn’t be down the street neighbors anymore. As luck (or fate) would have it, he ended up moving into a house that was even closer, which neither of them anticipated.

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.

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.
