Yesterday’s wedding at The Cincinnati Art Museum was absolutely stunning. Shannon & Mike tied the knot in front of their family and friends in the courtyard of the museum- a beautiful outdoor ceremony space with the best natural lighting. There were so many great moments throughout the day, but one of my absolute favorites was when Mike first saw Shannon during their first look.

There was just something so special about yesterday’s wedding at The Marmalade Lily. October is the best month of the year for a fall wedding. The weather is perfect and the leaves are at peak coloration. K & R tied the knot surrounded by trees and their closest of friends and family. This intimate wedding was absolutely perfect. Every detail was thought out with guest experience in mind. There were lounge areas scattered around the venue- including one specifically for the kids.

Despite the unpredictable Ohio weather, yesterday’s wedding at Canyon Run Ranch was so beautiful. Kacy and Evan made the difficult, but very wise, decision just moments before their wedding ceremony, to change gears and tie the knot inside the barn instead of in the middle of the woods, like they had planned.

Last night’s summer bridal open house at The Marmalade Lily was a huge success. The event was hosted by one of my favorite venues in the Cincinnati area, The Marmalade Lily. If you aren’t already familiar with their space, they have a flower farm event venue in Loveland.

On their wedding day, Megan and Brennan chose to have a first look to see each other for the first time before their ceremony. Brennan’s reaction was absolutely priceless. I have never seen a groom so amazed by the beauty of his bride. After spending a moment together, we set off for Wittenburg University to take a few photos with the couple and their bridal party.

Yesterday at Polen Farm, two of the most amazing people tied the knot on a perfectly sunny summer day. It has been nothing but rain in Ohio for the past week. The sun on the forecast for their Friday wedding was an exciting change of pace. Their sunflower-filled bouquets were exactly the right vibe. Rachael and Mason said ‘I do’ in the cool evening in front of all their family and friends at their outdoor ceremony at Polen Farm. Then they moved over to the barn to enjoy dinner and an evening of dancing.

Yesterday’s wedding at Grace Baptist Church in Cedarville, Ohio was so gorgeous. Just a couple days before this wedding day, a huge snowstorm swept through and covered everything in a generous layer of snow. We were able to get some great portraits in the snow after their church ceremony.
