This one certainly snuck up on me!  It seems I just saw Ron and Michelle a few weeks ago after they were engaged.  This one was another family reunion for me!  Ron and I grew up together in the same neighborhood while Michelle was in my high school graduating class.  So all my old neighbors were here including Tom and Sue who are the parents of a couple of our past grooms Mike and Ben, my own parents, the parents of my best men at my wedding and I could go on but will not!  Then there were some high school friends as well as a couple of our previous couples Chad & Jen and Joel & Shelly.  I ran into a groomsman from one of last year's weddings where another groomsman was sent to the ER for stitches.  It seems the list never ends!  It was so much fun seeing some people I haven't seen in 10-20 years as well as getting a chance to get a chance to really see what kind of people Ron, Michelle, Sabrina, Elliot and Grant have become in the years we've been away from each other.  I completely forgot how much fun everyone is!

I was so thrilled for Michelle to see how amazing of a day it was.  It seemed everything just went exactly as it was supposed to.  The weather was perfect, everyone was on time or early, the ceremony and reception at Receptions West were beautiful, Ron and Michelle both cried when they saw each other and everyone was fun and exceptionally photogenic.  Will from DJ Toad had the dance floor hopping and then met us at JTAPS Sports Bar afterward where Tommy was so kind and took great care of everyone.  BTW, when you go to the facebook page, that's him blowing fire!  The cake was perfect and I heard it was tasty so thanks to Cakes by Mindy for that!  I have horribly forgotten the name of the Chauffeur from Your Chauffeur but she was fun, and right on top of things.  Everyone loved her!  It's only appropriate that Michelle had the florist from Kroger in Montgomery do her flowers since she manages that store.  They were wonderful.  The Kroger people certainly were there in force as well!

We really couldn't have asked for anymore from you and I can only hope that you love the photos as much as we enjoyed being there.

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!

Cincinnati Wedding Photographers Daniel Michael and Mitchell Cooke travel to Faith Community United Methodist Church for Dan and Jennifer's Wedding Ceremony.  Following that is a stop at the overlook from Covington at Riverside Dr and then the Wedding Reception at the beautiful Drees Pavilion at Devou park in Northern Kentucky.  Their reception was an amazing combination of beauty with the amazing view of downtown from Drees Pavilion, the delicious food from Elegant Fare and Wedding Cake from the lovely and talented Pat fromPatricia's Cakes and then the best entertainment around with the always sweet, energetic, fun and extremely talented group from the Airwave Band.

Jennifer's Floral arrangements were a stunning combination from Cincinnati Florist MattFeld's.  Her hair and makeup were done at Mitchells Salon in West Chester.  It was great to see my old friend Jeff Hill with his video camera in hand!  I'm sure he got some great stuff but I'll just have to wait a little longer to see it!  The gorgeous flowing gown was from Bridal and Formal. 

Having said all that, Jennifer and Dan were wonderful.  They were as sweet a couple as I could hope to have, laid back and photographed very comfortably.  I'm not sure either one of them is capable of complaining about anything!  Of course when your wedding day is perfect, what is there to complain about?  Thank you guys for letting us be part of your wedding day and enjoy your sneak peek!

Senior Wedding Photographer Daniel Michael photographs Jack and Allison's wedding ceremony at Faith Community United Methodist in West Chester and wedding reception at the Marriott North in West Chester.   Mark and John did a fantastic job tag teaming the ceremony.  Allison got a little choked up when they talked about "for richer or poorer"...hmmmm... There may be a staff as good as Meghan and the crew at the Marriott somewhere in the city, but I'd be hard pressed to find any that are better.  I'm just not sure how anyone can be better.  Everything happened exactly how and when it was supposed to.  Food was served exceptionally quickly, everyone was taken care of, every little detail was attended to.  Meghan Zlatic is an amazing combination of sweet, genuine, organized, professional and hard working.  Simply, she does things the way they should be done.  And if Allison decides to comment on this blog, I'm certain she will back up that statement as will Tom from Rick Juler who was also quite amazing himself!  I watched him multi task things that anyone else would need two people to do!  The Chicago bulls style entrance with lighting, custom intros and custom musical clips went off perfectly.  The lighting in the room was well done by Entertainment Unlimited Events and helped create the custom ambience that Allison was going for.  

I was completely blown away by Karis and Amber from Mitchell's Salon and Day Spa in West Chester.  Not only did Allison look stunningly beautiful, but they were done ahead of schedule!!  I never see that!!  Thank you!  Jeanie from Motor Toys Limousine Service was like an extra planner!  She was right there just like Alyssa was with our crew always offering an extra set of hands and making sure Allison and Jack were always taken care of.  I didn't get a chance to have any of the cake this week.  I normally don't eat the wedding cake but make exceptions when Spoon Fulla Sugar is making their Hummingbird cake!!

Allison attended to every detail of her wedding.  It was quite impressive.  It looked like everything was done by a professional.  You should be very proud of yourself.  You put together an amazing wedding.  My hats off to you, Jack and each of your families.  And I might have been mistaken, but did I catch a little bit of an Ohio State theme wedding?  Seemed like I saw something that made me think of Ohio State but I can't quite seem to put my finger on it.
