Be sure to view the additional Wedding Photos on facebook and feel free to tag yourselves.  Also, please click the "like" or "retweet" buttons on the bottom of this entry to share this wedding story with your friends.  Enjoy your sneak peek!  The rest will be ready in 4-6 weeks.

It was a long weekend for this photographer!  But it was well worth it!  I had two super fun weddings and then a few fantastic engagement sessions on Sunday.  After a stunning evening at The Grand on Friday, I was right back in Covington at the newly remodeled Madison Emerald Room for the wedding reception.  The Ceremony was at the gorgeous and always easy to work with St Francis De Sales.  To me the striking part of this day was simply family.  As the best man and maid of honor spoke so well, it's about bonds.  I could see it in their eyes, Dad, Mom, Sister, Brother and husband and wife.  I saw great joy, love and people who would give anything for each other.  The evening however was highlighted by the Amnesia Lane Band who were nothing short of spectacular!  The wedding cake was fantastic and made by (I feel like saying "as usual" here) Spoon Fulla Sugar.  The florist was Secret Garden and hair and make up was done by the Style Squad.  If you loved Michelle's bridal gown as much as we did, it was from Fabulous Bridal and as you can see on the facebook page, they also had a photo booth from Say Cheese and a limo from Land Force One.

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

Cincinnati Wedding Photography, Jimmy and Victoria 8-6-11

Cincinnati Senior Photographers Daniel Michael, Jessica Fischer and Emily Erker photographed Jimmy and Victoria's Outdoor Wedding Ceremony and Indoor Wedding Reception at the Nathaniel Green Lodge yesterday.  I hesitated about even mentioning that Jimmy is deaf and Victoria is partially deaf since this day was not about that.  It was about a relationship that has endured from their sophomore year in high school all the way till 14 years and one 8 year old son later.  It is a special relationship surrounded by some wonderful family and friends.  I do however mention it simply because I was amazed at how well I was able to connect with both of them.  I feel like old friends.  They are such genuine caring people that you just can't help but become friends.  I am so happy for the whole family.  

The Wedding DJ and MC from Party Pleasers DJ was Doug.  I know every time I work with Doug, I'm likely to see something I haven't seen before and tonight was no exception.  If you look at the facebook photos you'll see a garter removal like no other.  You see, Jimmy is a MMA fighter who took a break leading up to his wedding but will be returning to the ring soon I believe.  So prior to the garter removal, he changed into is UFC gear and Doug set up some Rocky music, fog, laser lights and created an intro to the ring (dance floor) that mimicked a fight between the Victoria and James.  It was well done and entertaining to watch.  Doug takes things to another level with unique ideas like no other DJ I've ever worked with! Party Pleasers also set up the lighting for the evening.

In addition to all that, I got to see the best first kiss ever!  WOW Jimmy!  The Wedding Bouquets were from the Florist, A Gathering of Flowers.  Terri did a fantastic job!  For the second night in a row, Spoon Fulla Sugar created a beautiful wedding cake that I'm sure was amazing but I never back to grab a piece again!! What's wrong with me!?

Victoria and Jimmy, you are a beautiful couple both inside and out.  You guys are another example of why I love this so much!  Thank you so much for including us!

Cincinnati Wedding Photography, Ben and Trisha 5-20-11

I try not to look forward to future weddings since I have to keep my focus on what's in front of me.  But this was an exception.  I've known Ben since he was a few months old and Trisha since Ben's Senior Portraits.  Pretty much since the day I photographed the two of them at Ben's Senior Photography Session, I've been waiting for this day.  Ben's family was like a second family to me growing up (not that I wasn't fine with the first family!), but Mrs. Williams did bake 975 cookies for tonight so you judge for yourself!  Anyways, knowing the whole family and having shot weddings for them before, I knew the Williams side of the family knew how to party.  But tonight, FINALLY, they met their match with Trisha's!  I never ever say that anything was the "best ever".  But I'll say this, if anyone wants to compare themselves to become the best party ever, this is your measuring stick.  Well done my friends!

It was great to see Joe and Nicole after almost a year since their wedding.  At midnight it became Joe's birthday and he made it well worthwhile!  There are going to be so so many photos.  I haven't even looked at any of Doug or Don's Candids yet!  But as promised, I wanted you to have a sneak peek by the time you woke today.  I know Ben and Trisha have another wedding to get to today so I hope they get a chance to have a glimpse of these before then.  But have a great time at the wedding today and then off to Mexico I believe!

Love you guys.  This one will not soon be forgotten by anyone!  It was so nice to see so many of my friends and family having such a great time.

Thank you to Jeff from Party Pleasers for taking such great care of my friends and creating an atmosphere that allowed this to be the best party I can remember in quite some time!
