It was a FUN Friday for this photographer!  I first want to say just how great everyone was today.  Always pleasant, smiling and wanting us to enjoy ourselves as well.  Second I have to say Mrs. Jena Kirkendall made a STUNNING bride! So, for the second week in a row I was right back in Covington at the newly remodeled Madison Emerald Room for the wedding reception.  We had amazing weather for the beautiful outdoor wedding ceremony at the Rose Garden in Ault Park.   It seems not only am I making regular appearances at the Madison, but I also keep running into my good friend Nemar Maize with Maize Music!  I love listening to Nemar mix music.  When he's your DJ, you hear at least three times the number of songs you do with other DJ's.  The wedding cake was from Bakery Hill, Florist was Kroger, Tuxes from the fine people at Folchi's, hair and make up from Mary Spencer and Jenna's bridal gown from Fabulous Bridal.  It seems we've been seeing an awful lot of Jimmy's Limo.  I'm not positive who helped them with their first dance but I know I recommended Bud Walters and it looked an awful lot like his magic!

Now of course I need a special line to thank the wonderful team from Jeff Hill Video.  Not only is it always a pleasure to see them and work with them, but Jeff referred Jenna and Mario to us! 

Having said all that, I think you can get a pretty good feel for everything by looking at the photos here and facebook.  Enjoy!

What a beautiful day it was!  I know it got a little chilly for Jaya as we were doing photos but I'm so glad she's a trooper and stuck it out those last few minutes.  She has such an amazing look to her combined with the beautiful venue that I just had to have it!!  Jaya went right down the street in Montgomery to Kotsova's to find that gorgeous gown she was wearing.  The florist was my good friend from Nina's Florist which I have to say are always elegant and classy.  I'm not sure if they can do anything but elegant and classy!!  I mean that as a compliment of course.  For the second time in three weeks I got to work with Jason with Hey Mr DJ.  Ironically I'm working with him again next weekend at the Oasis.  Anyone wondering if that's a coincidence?  Jason, I think you're stalking me.... I wouldn't mind if  you made a better looking woman!  The entire wedding ceremony and reception at the Manor House in Mason OH.  The Ceremony was in the Atrium with the reception and cocktail hour in the Magnolia room.  It was a pleasure to get to see the ladies from Mitchells in West Chester again as well as Steve Means who performed a beautiful and fitting wedding ceremony.  The guys looked really sharp in the brand new Charcoal Tuxes from Folchi's Formalwear.  The cake from Spoon Fulla Sugar.  Which I avoided before I have to add a new hole to my belt!!

Everybody should have family and friends like Eric and Jaya so they can have a wedding like this.  This is how it is supposed to be.  Congratulations to you and your families and thank you!

It was a little chilly at the Bell Event Center in downtown Cincinnati today for Nick & Julie's wedding ceremony and reception.  I had the pleasure of working with DJ/MC Steve Bender, Florist Yellow Canary, Hair and Make-Up A little off the top, Lighting CSC, Cake Spoon Fulla Sugar and Tuxes from Folchi Formal Wear.

Everything was fantastic.  The decor that Julie's mom provided at the Bell was amazing as well as the new lighting package that CSC provided.  The stories from the toasts in particular from Julie's brothers who saved her life at least 15 times a day after almost drowning her 15 times a day in the family pool.  Great stories.  How Nick ended up with the UC Dance team girl and his best man was left hanging out to dry even though Nick was his guest at the games is a story I'll have to get more details on one day.  Hopefully he's landed on his feet now!

Enjoy the sneak peek.  The rest to come soon!!

 

Cincinnati Photography Boys Hope Girls Hope

I had the distinct pleasure of being the photographer at the Hilton Netherlands in downtown Cincinnati last night for the Boys Hope Girls Hope charity event.  It was such a good feeling to be surrounded by so many genuine and fun people as well as these fine young men and women who are striving to successes they never dreamed possible before becoming involved in this organization.  There were many sponsors though I only had direct contact with a few of them and would like to thank them for donating their time or money to this great cause.

Folchi's Formalwear

The Soul Pocket Band

The Hilton Netherlands

and Title Sponsor Kroger

I was able to see first hand the impact this cause makes on individual children.  It turned around their lives to not only allow them to survive and stay out of trouble but to become leaders in the community as adults.  If you are able, it's a cause well worth contributing too.  

I also want to thank one of our bride's from 2011 for thinking to involve me in this truly special evening.  Thank you Beth Lauber!  I have all the photos posted to our facebook page for you to tag yourselves.  I'll also be putting up a website in the next week or so for people to order photos if they wish.  I'll also be sending a disc with all the images to beth so the people from Boys Hope Girls Hope can also have their own copies.

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!!
