It is so nice being a photographer when you get to work with a great wedding planner!  Julie and the crew from Cincy Event Planning made my day so easy and stress free that I think I'm going to have to include them in all my packages from now on!  Ok, so that would be nice but would likely move us out of most people's photography budget!  Still, it's tempting.... I couldn't have asked for a nicer group of people.  The family and friends and especially Joe and Linda were just a joy to spend the day with.  The vendors were amazing as expected when I work with Julie.  It's been a little while since I've gotten out to Ivy Hills Country Club for a wedding reception and I don't remember it ever looking this beautiful!  I'll have to give Prime Time Rentals some credit along with Cincy Event Planning and Courtenay Lambert Florals who I got to see for the second time this week!  Every time I see her work I am even more impressed! It rained through the wedding ceremony at St Xavier in Downtown Cincinnati and stopped for outdoor photos at Fountain Square and the Riverwalk at Riverside Dr and then started again for the Reception at Ivy Hills.  I'm not sure if rain is good luck or not, but rain when we're indoors and no rain when we're outdoors sounds like good luck to me! I've been seeing a lot more of Steve Bender DJs and Master of Ceremonies.  We had two weddings tonight both with his crew!  Prior to the wedding I was able to briefly catch up with Rachel from Brideface again.  I actually feel like I can tell the difference between all the ladies from Brideface and the rest of the make up artists.  It's easy enough for one person to have a distinct style but for a group to be distinct is quite an accomplishment.  The wedding cake was from Spoon Fulla Sugar, so I don't think I need to say anymore there!  It seems we've been seeing an awful lot of Jimmy's Limo.  I've seen the same driver four times already this year and twice this weekend!!

With such a great couple and great group of vendors, I feel fortunate to have been included with such a fine group of people.  Thanks to Joe and Linda for choosing us!  I hope you enjoy your sneek peek!

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
