First of all, please share this with your friends and family and feel free to comment about any aspect of the day!  There are more photos on the facebook page.  Please tag yourselves and comment!  

What a loaded wedding day!  Mike was so exited he revisited his breakfast just like the night he proposed!  Deana was trying to get over a cold.  We had a sudden outburst of rain just in time for the outside photos.  We were at the Wright Patterson Air Force Base, then the Museum, then Carillon Park, then the Dayton Marriott.  What a beautiful day!  It was a pretty amazing crew of wedding vendors.  This was my first chance to work with Brian and Mike from Blue Canister Studios and I must say they are top notch!  Without a doubt among the best I've ever worked with.  I also worked with DJ/Master of Ceremony Brian Harris for the first time and I can't say enough good things about him as well!  Both were thoroughly prepared and had amazing follow through.  I appreciate the teamwork.  It was as if we'd worked together for years.

Of course the entire day was set up and designed by the lovely ladies at Your Dream Day.  Kathy, Kerry and Annette are always a pleasure to work with.  They create some of the most amazing weddings!   The cake was from Dorothy Lane.  Transportation was provided by Motor Toys Limo Service.  Deana's dress was by Alfred Angelo.

Joey and Jody had the perfect day for their Cincinnati Wedding Ceremony and Reception today.  It was beautiful outside for photos and everything could not have gone better!  Jody, you have great friends and family.  Your mom and sister were right there for you at every turn and your wedding party was right there with them.  You're very lucky.  Joey, you're a lucky guy.  Not only is Jody pretty amazing but so is Dylan.  All the way around the room was two families and a lot of friends that were just a pleasure for me to be around.  Jason from Laser Track was right on top of things while the staff at the Woodlands made sure everything was perfect for you.  St Boniface is just a stunning church and Spring Grove really is something in the fall.  Ihave to say Decan Thomas Faeth is pretty amazing!  I know it wasn't full mass but still, 30 minutes is the fastest Catholic Ceremony I think I've ever seen!

I think Harvey's Trollywas a great touch and probably was one of the only things that would have fit your entire wedding party!!  It certainly suited your personalities and style.  it was great to see Sindiong Video as well!  It's been too long.  I have to say they stay longer at a reception than almost every videographer I know!  They guys Tuxes from Folchi's Formal Wear looked fantastic with the air jordans.  Nice touch!  The flowers and cake were amazing.  Petals and Glass really did a nice job with both.  It's nice to see all my west side vendors again!!

New York, Idaho, Columbus, Cincinnati, Connecticut and I'm sure I'm forgetting some, Kurt and Allison just happened to be in the right place a the right time and that was Starbucks in New York.  I was fortunate enough to go to that same Starbucks for part of their engagement session!  It's been quite a ride planning for this day and I'm sure MOB Joyce feels it was worth every bit of it!! (since she was the glue that pulled it all together).  Thank you Joyce.  It was a joy to work with and become friends with both sides of the family.  It was the perfect blend of Classy, Elegant, Fun, Artistic and Genuine.  On top of that, you assembled a dream team of vendors!

To start we have two of the more beautiful wedding venues with just amazing staffs.  At Old St. Mary's Father Josh Lange was such a pleasure to be around as well as Amy who just cannot seem to stop smiling!  The Taft Museum of Art was gorgeous.  Goodwin Lighting did some lighting and decor while Joyce kicked in with a little help getting together some chandeliers!  I appreciate the full course dinner that was provided by Jeff Thomas Catering.  It may have been the best dinner I've had at a wedding in my life!!  I'm pretty sure both Patricia's Wedding Cakes and Courtenay Lambert Florist absolutely have outdone themselves.  The cake was gorgeous and of course delicious and the floral arrangements were just stunning.

As much as I love Penny from Brideface, she had the easy job of the day.  That was making Allison look stunning.  I don't want to diminish Penny's artistic abilities at all as I was hoping to get in the chair and see what she could do with me...ok so that's hopeless!  But really?  How hard is it to make Allison stunning?  Still Penny, it was good to see you again and you were amazing as I pretty much expect!  The hair styles were courtesy of Ashley with Rustic Pear.  Again, amazing!  And then there's DJ/MC Steve Bender and Videographer Matt Pine with Lifetime Films.  There are so many things I could say, but I'll be nice!  It's really good to get to work with quality professionals and old friends.

There was not an average vendor in the group.  Everyone was exceptional which was appropriate since Kurt, Allison and their families were just as exceptional.  I hope you enjoy your sneak peek and check out more on our Facebook Page

I've been a wedding photographer in Cincinnati for 12 years and have seen Black, Purple, Red, Ivory, Champagne and White Wedding Dresses.  But, Friday I got to see my first Tie Dyed Wedding Dress!  As you can imagine, Friday was a fun night!  The Ceremony was at St Henry's followed by the Reception at The Madison Crystal Room.  The Florist was Secret Garden in Florence.  It was nice to work with my guy Tom Winkler from T&F Music who was MC and DJ for the evening.

Since you already know there is a Tie Dyed wedding dress involved here I'm sure you stopped reading a while back.  So I'm headed to the photos.

Who has their Cincinnati Wedding Ceremony and Reception on a Thursday?... Br-andy.  That's the adopted abbreviation for Brian and Mandy.  The reason is, both of their parents got married on October 13th a little while back as well!!!  I love it!  Br-andy had an outdoor Ceremony in the beautiful weather (rain) at the Kings Island Resort and Conference Center.  Fortunately the Resort has a tent!!  Their Reception was decked out by none other than Tim with Party Pleasers DJs who also happened to refer this couple to me!  Thanks Tim, and Jessica and everyone else involved!!  The party was off the hook!  I cannot believe that so many people partied so late!  It was like a Saturday!!

The florist was Two Little Buds and Mandy's Hair was done by Jess and her Make Up by Salon La.  Mandy.... Brian.... Brandy, you guys were such a joy to be around tonight and your family and friends were just as great.  I'm not sure the last time I saw two sets of parents spend so much time on the dance floor before.  Your wedding was amazing and I hope you enjoy your little sneak peek!  Please share it with your friends and encourage them to comment and like it on the Facebook Page as well.  There are over 100 photos there!  Please tag yourself if you find a photo of you!

 

 

 

 

Cincinnati Wedding Photography Sean & Ashley

Wedding Photography in Cincinnati will never be the same after photographing Sean and Ashley at Pyramid Hill and Meadowbrook Banquet Center.  It was the perfect storm of goofy, fun, classy and stunning.  FYI Sean, the stunning part is your wife not you!  You do clean up nicely though!  Hilvers Catering provided a wonderful spread including some amazing ham!  Ashley did a great job selecting her floral arrangements from Nature Nook Florist and her wedding cake from Patricia's Wedding Cakes.

Then it was on to the party with the music and entertainment provided by Kurt Powel with KSV Connections. I just can't tell you how much fun it was to be part of your wedding Ashley and Sean.  Everytime someone from your families thanked me I felt it should be the other way around.  I was lucky to be there.  Enjoy your sneak peek and be sure to check out the facebook page for more photos where you and your friends can tag themselves and make comments.

Enjoy!

This was a Cincinnati Wedding to Remember!!  It was such a positive upbeat group of fun people that it just makes you want to do it all over again!  The Wedding Ceremony was at the Vineyard Chapel followed by the Reception at Receptions North.  The Reception was kicked of by the amazing Steve Benderwho delivered with quality music and announcements to keep the evening upbeat, fun and with a full dance floor!  I also had the pleasure of hanging out with Andy from RMAX films all night which was a little added fun!  And of course I cannot forget the most important thing which was the Skyline Bar at 10 pm!  

Steph was so excited about everything that I don't think she could contain herself.  Her happiness and energy spread to everyone around her (except maybe the flower girls LOL).  Kevin was right there with her all night long.  I just can't put into words how much fun everyone had.  When the night ended, I wasn't ready to go!!  Enjoy your sneak peek guys!  Thanks for everything!
