Wedding photography at Spring Grove is always beautiful.  But having the wedding ceremony at Norman Chapel with officiant Bill Proud was an extra treat!  It was a pleasure working with Queen City videography for the first time in a while.  The reception was hopping all night long with the charismatic and DJ Johnny B at the wedding reception at Receptions Fairfield.  Petals and Glass created the floral arrangements. I'm so mad I'm on a diet because the wedding cake was from Sweetwater Bakehouse!!

As you'll see in the facebook page, this one was off the hook!  It was whatever we wanted with all kinds of fun.  Everyone was great and the entire day went off without a hitch... once we got started!  Lindsey was beautiful and had the perfect dress as were the ladies.  I was just pleased to keep the guys in their tuxes!

Cincinnati Wedding Photography-Chris & Megan, 8-27-11

August 28, 2011

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!

There are a lot more photos on our Facebook page!  Please Like and Retweet this post as well as comment and tag yourself in the photos and on the blog.  I'm always interested in hearing about the stories I didn't get to see!

Cincinnati Wedding Photography, Jack and Allison 8-5-11

August 6, 2011

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.

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

The Ceremony Destination was Bellarmine Chapel at St Xavier while the Reception Location was the beautiful Continental Room at the Hilton Netherlands downtown.  Their Wedding DJ was Brian Benton from DJ Butlers Music by Request.  The tasty Wedding Cake was prepared by a Spoon fulla Sugar while Wedding Transportation was provided by Motor Toys.  The beautiful flowers were provided by Susan Foy of The Wedding Designer.  Hair was done by Pump Salon, Jessica Flowers and make up was done by Erin Clark while the Lighting was provided by Goodwin.  And it was all put together by the amazing Wedding Planners from the I do Boutique.

Yesterday was in interesting day from the start.  First of all, the city had gone mad this weekend and there was no place to park!  Everything was full because of the Marathon and Reds game.  So then we got a call from the groom about his buddy Dave who was on his way to the emergency room at Good Sam because he split open his head!  Don't worry, he's fine.  They saw him pull up in Motor Toys Hummer Limo in a tux and had him in and out and ready for photos in no time.  Matt and Beth were everything I could as for in a couple.  They were good looking, fun, able to go with the flow and appreciative of everything that went amazingly.... which was everything else!  The ladies from the I do boutique pulled everything together, the weather was amazing, the staff at the Hilton was fantastic, the cake was to die for, lighting was stunning and everyone there was beautiful and a blast to be around.  Matt and Beth, you're wedding was amazing.  Congratulations and thank you for letting us be a part of it.
