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.

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!

Tillman & Star tied the knot on a snowy day in February, surrounded by their family. Weddings at the Courthouse in Oakwood, Ohio are always beautiful and their special day was no exception. I love a winter wedding- especially when there is a layer of fresh snow on the ground. It was definitely a cold day, so the bride wore a hooded, fur-lined cape to keep herself warm. Wearing some kind of outer layer for outdoor photos at a winter wedding is always a great idea.

This day was a long time coming. C & Q pushed their wedding back during the uncertainty of 2020. After so much time planning and then planning again, it was so wonderful to finally celebrate their big day. The Phoenix was absolutely beautiful- the perfect venue for a winter wedding in Cincinnati. I am so excited to share a quick look from yesterday’s wedding at The Phoenix in downtown Cincinnati.
