Cincinnati Wedding Photographers Daniel Michael, Katie Schaefer and Aaron Gibson enjoyed a beautiful day with Chris and Megan today.  Blue sky with some white clouds, 85, nice breeze, old friends, new friends, wonderful group of people... who could ask for more!?!  After some prep photos with Megan, we headed to Spring Grove for the guys pictures where we hooked up with my old buddy Jeff Hill of Jeff Hill Wedding Videography.  He had Tina and Katie with him who were just a joy to work with!  I had two Katie's with me, so adding a third made it easy for the wedding party to remember our names!  The flowers were just gorgeous as always when we get to work with Florist, MattFelds.  Motor Toys took care of getting everyone around and were professional and easy to work with as usual.  

From there, we headed to St. Ursula for the one of the more entertaining Catholic Wedding Ceremonys I've seen in a while!  Father Tom, you're fantastic!  Then it was off to the Wedding Reception at the Verdin Bell Event Centre downtown where Brooke and her crew were just fantastic.  I love working with you guys.  Thanks so much for taking such good care of us but also my friends.  I've known Megan's sister Sarah for a couple years now.  Prior to moving out of state she assisted with us for a summer.  The Wedding Cake from Bonbonerie was amazing as always and the night couldn't have been more perfect.

Megan looked more amazing than I even thought she would be in her bridal gown from David's Bridal.  I can't think of a thing that could have made their day any more amazing.  I'm so happy for you guys.  Sarah, thanks for bringing Megan and Chris to us.  I love both of your families and look forward to Sarah's wedding and Ben's wedding down the line!

Cincinnati Wedding Photography, Paul & Becky 8-13-11

Cincinnati Senior Photographer Daniel Michael with Don, Aaron and Amanda photographed Paul and Becky Saturday august 13.  We started at their house doing some details and getting ready photos and followed that up with a trip to Eden Park where they saw each other for the first time.  From there we headed to Findlay Market and then to Holy Trinity Church in Norwood for a beautiful Wedding Ceremony.  The Wedding Reception was at the stunning Verdin Bell Event Centrewhere Brooke and her staff were just amazing!  Danny from CSCdid the lighting and was also the MC/DJ.  It was a good night all around!!

Everything was just fun, beautiful and pretty much perfect all day long.  Katie Elfers made gorgeous vibrant bouquets, LOVED THEM!  Watching Ashley from I do MakeUp was like watching an artist work canvas.  Every time I looked over at Becky she was getting more and more beautiful!  The beautiful wedding cake was provided by Affordable Wedding Creations.

Probably the hardest thing we did, was at the end of the night when Becky wanted to spell "thanks" in sparklers!  She had seen a photo with "love" which was much easier because every letter flowed and because it was only 4 letters.  But with this we had to use lower case letters to make it work.  The ladies helping with this task were not completely sober at midnight but were making a valiant effort anyways.  And it worked!!  What a fun day for everyone!  I'm not sure if Cristin Kiefer has any wedding planning experience, but if I hadn't known she was a guest, I'd have said she was a pretty damn good planner.  Cristin, you were right on top of everything and made things so much easier for me.  Thank you!

The Senior Photographers at this wedding were Daniel Michael and Doug Oaks.  The Associate Photographers were Jessica Fischer.  All Portraits are courtesy of Images by Daniel Michael.

The Ceremony Destination and Reception Location were both at the Verdin Bell Event Centre.  Not that I'm ever surprised by this, but Amy and the staff were amazing.  The food was ridiculous and the service was spot on. Their Wedding DJ was Brandon from Hey Mr DJ.  Few MC's can personalize a reception like the guys at Hey Mr DJ.  It's always entertaining, well thought out, well planned and professional..  The Wedding Cake was Cheesecake from Jerry's Cheesecakes!.  The beautiful flowers were provided by the Florist Petals and Glass.  Her Hair was done by Liz Carter from Bridal Hair by Liz and Make Up was done by the talented Nancy from Brideface.  I loved what Danny from CSC did with the Lighting.  The Bell event center is so beautiful it doesn't need much lighting.  However, some effect lights on the dance floor, some decor lights and most importantly, spot lights outside on the stained glass windows featured one of the more unique aspects of the Bell Event Center even at night when the sun no longer lights them up.  I finally had the opportunity to work with Wedding and Event Planner, Julie and the wonderfully talented ladies from Cincy Event Planning.  They were on time, organized, and always behind the scenes.  If you didn't know there was a wedding planner, you would have assumed Kristyn was capable of miracles!
