When I walked in and saw Abby’s wedding dress I was so excited! Doesn’t Abby look amazing in her dress? Their ceremony and reception were at McCoy’s in Wilmington, Ohio. My favorite part of their outdoor ceremony was the groom’s smile when the bride joined hands. After the ceremony and  few family photos we headed to downtown Wilmington for photos of the couple. Before the wedding the couple sent me photos for some ideal spots and a diagram of where they all were. I laughed when I received it because the couple knew exactly what I would love! Along our one block photo walk we spotted a Hers and His thrift store just begging to be a fun backdrop! It was great to include a beautiful little town that means so much to this couple! Once we got back the reception was in full swing. After dinner and mingling we took the couple out into the field for a few evening light photos followed by their first dance. They were surrounded by their friends and family on the deck. What a beautiful wedding day! Congrats to Abby and Tim! Thank you for choosing us to document your wonderful day. We wish you two all the very best!

Becky and Ryan are always so much fun together. They make each other laugh and aren’t afraid to have a great time. I have been really looking forward to this wedding because I knew it would be fun. Becky and her mother have worked on a ton of great details. Everything from the socks the groomsmen wore to the seven layers of cake – it all tied in with this really fun rainbow colored wedding! The tropical colors really made every part of the wedding colorful! Becky’s mother also had a rainbow colored wedding so it was neat to see the tradition carried on. One of my favorite moments of the day was watching Ryan wipe away Becky’s tears at the altar – such a sweet moment. And then it was followed by a happy chest bump to conclude the ceremony! The reception festivities were also filled with fun surprises. The best man and maid of honor had the couple play the newlywed game. One of my favorite surprises was the fireworks for the couple! Becky and Ryan – thank you for being yourselves and for always making me smile! To your friends and family – thanks for making the day so much fun to photograph! It was a great celebration. To the vendors who made it all look great – all I can say is wow!

One of my favorite venues in Cincinnati is Pebble Creek Golf Course and Event Center. It is always beautiful and has the best view for a sunset.

Heather and Ben’s wedding day was wonderful and full of fun. We started with the girls getting ready and then met up with the guys. The best man was a hoot and had his goofy face was ready for photos (it’s even on his driver’s license -yep I checked). After some fun formal photos we headed to the ceremony. My favorite part of the ceremony was seeing the smile on the groom’s face. Then we headed in for the reception. I love how Fassler Florist decorated the room with three different types of centerpieces. During their first dance the sunlight came in from the windows and it created a neat shadow on the back of the bride’s dress. After dinner and some fun dancing we took the couple out for a few more photos with the sunset. What a great way to end the perfect day!
