Be sure to view the additional photos on facebook and feel free to tag/like or make comments on the photos.  I love reading them!  Enjoy your sneak peek!  The rest will be ready in 4-6 weeks though we're aiming for a little sooner!

I must first start off by thanking Kathy Piech-Lucas with Your Dream Day Wedding Planning.  Without her, I would have never had the pleasure of meeting Krishna and Lindsay.  And I think missing that opportunity would have been quite a disappointment.  In addition, I must compliment her on always assembling a team of vendors that work well together and make sure her clients are taken outstanding care of.

On saturday I had the privilege of working with Mary and the outstanding crew at the Savannah Center, Brandon with Hey Mr DJEntertainment, Marti Thompson Floral Designs, Brideface Make Up Artistry, Bob Mills Films, and Patricia's Wedding Cakes.  Does it really get any better than that?  

The photos speak for themselves.  It was an interesting and entertaining evening.  Thanks for letting us be a part of it!

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

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

The Outdoor Ceremony Destination and Reception Location were both at the French House at French Park which is run by Premier Park Events.  Their Wedding DJ was Earl with DJ Bandcamp.  I love the the way Earl made things happen but yet still went with the flow.  He knew just how to play to the crowd.  The Wedding Cake was prepared by Patricia's.  I kept to my diet tonight, but the temptation was enough to make me have angry thoughts toward Patricia!  (Just kidding if you don't know my sarcasm)  The beautiful flowers were provided by the Florist Yellow Canary.  Drea had her hair done by Le Peacock Salon in Blue Ash and Make Up was done by the amazingly talented Chenese Bean.  Despite some car issues that slowed her down, Chenese was able to get where she needed to, get Drea's make up done on time and have everyone looking like a million bucks.  All the while maintaining her smile and professionalism.  My hat's off to Chenese!  I couldn't have done my part without you.  The tuxes came from a formal wear place in Lexington called Geno's Formal Affair and I must say I was impressed.  The fit, the look and everything about the tuxes was perfect.  I'm sure nobody is surprised that the dinner from Chef's Choice Catering was amazing!  I cleaned my plate despite the fact that I'm pretty sure they served me a whole chicken!!  Drea's gown was a very unique look from the Vera Wang Collection at Bridal and Formal.  If I remember the relationship correctly, Drea's cousin Neisha Walker was also the Wedding Planner.  Neisha, I'm not sure I can understate this... WOOOOW!!  Great job taking care of all the little details and making sure everything went according to plan.  Or if things didn't go according to plan, I wouldn't have known it because of you!

Drea, you were a trooper when you needed to be in the heat and trying to wrap up your photos prior to your wedding; you were as sweet as they come and then absolutely stunning the entire day.  The love and joy in your eyes is something I know Keenan will always treasure.  Keenan, the best way to describe you is you are her perfect match and I think Juliana is your proof of that statement.  Congratulations to you both and your friends and family.  You're wedding was a complete success!

An all star cast of vendors for an all star couple.  Cody and Eva were my kinda of couple!  Love them!  I wish we were in vegas so we could keep going!  Of course if that were the case, I wouldn't be posting these photos!  So, first things first!  I have to give credit to a group of vendors who were absolutely first class.  I have to start with the staff at Drees Pavillion at Devou park.  You guys were on top of everything and made sure Cody and Eva could enjoy every moment of their night!  McHales Catering  not only had amazing food, but had everyone fed and ready to party so fast that I was almost not even ready yet!  Then of course there was Jimmy Jam with CSC productions.  It's been too long my friend!  I'll have to work on correcting that!!  The wedding hair and make up was done by Salon Beck and I must say the ladies were stunning.  I'd like to give credit to the people from Salon Beck but at the same time, I'm pretty sure these ladies were going to look amazing no matter what!!  The room was decked out by nothing but the best; Susan Foy was the event designer while the fine people at Goodwin Lighting accented the room.  The guys were decked out in nothing but the best from Folchi's Formalwear which lead to my second week in a row of no issues with tuxes!!  Savannah Nite had a pimped out limo to get everyone around (in particular to the after party at Bartini's).  Patricia's cake was the usual... Amazing!!!  Uncle Rick performed a fantastic ceremony where he ad libbed as necessary to make everything just perfect.  

Cody and Eva are very lucky people.  First of all, you're lucky to have found each other.  You're the couple everyone wants to be.  Second, you have the complete support of your family and friends.  They all love you so much that the after party struggled (I use that term loosely) to get started without you!  Ok, so they were partying like rock stars and barley noticed when you arrived.  Anyways, you have a great support system, a great example in your parents and siblings who look up to you and are there for you anytime you need them.  Oh and did I mention, you had a kick ass wedding!!

The Senior Photographers at this wedding were Daniel Michael and Stacey Lucas.  All Portraits are courtesy of Images by Daniel Michael.

The Wedding Ceremony and Reception Destination was all at the Manor House in Mason, Ohio.  Michelle Misch Bowe detailed the wedding for the Manor House while Naila Chowdhery was the banquet manager.  The Wedding DJ was the always enthusiastic, creative and talented Doug of Party Pleasers.  The tasty Wedding Cake was prepared by Patricia's!  The beautiful flowers were provided by the Florist Mary Alice Funke.  Her Hair was amazing and held up all night long despite the fact it was down and curled!  J. McQueen Salon was amazing!  Not to be outdone, her Make Up was done by Penny with Brideface while the Lighting was provided by Party Pleasers.  And last but not least, the amazingly talented, charming and good looking Matt Pine of Lifetime films was our partner in crime on video.

We were fortunate enough to fight off the rain all through photos but then just before the ceremony that was to take place in the gazebo, just enough rain fell from the skies to scare us inside to the atrium while the sun then decided to poke out as the ceremony started.  If we were anywhere else, I'd have been disappointed, but the banquet manager Naila (who is simply wonderful) and Dan and the staff at the manor house made the switch over in a matter of minutes to the best back up location in all of Cincinnati-The Manor House Atrium.

The rest of the night went off without a hitch.  Danielle and Rob were just a thrill to work with. Their families were fun, friendly and made all of us feel like part of the family.  Doug was a masterful master of ceremonies who truly captured the personalities of Rob and Danielle to make their wedding reception one that will be talked about and compared to for years to come.  It was a dream team of wedding vendors, a stunning location and the perfect couple to go with it.

Thank you Matt for refering us and thank you to Danielle and Rob for including us!
