I'm not sure Receptions Loveland has ever looked so good as it did when Tim and Jeremy from Party Pleasers DJ's Got done with it!  I have quite a few more room shots that aren't on the page if you guys want them.  Cakes by Mindy had a beautiful cake that I didn't get the chance to to taste.  However, I got some samples the next day at the bridal show at Receptions Fairfield!  It was an all Receptions weekend!

Good Shepherd Church was the Wedding Ceremony Location where I got to catch up with my old buddy Jeff from Jeff Hill Video.  I had the pleasure of working with his much more charming staff at the house with the ladies :-).  Folchi's formalwear had the guys looking good and  Ashley Matho Make Up Artistry had the ladies looking good (as well as looking good herself!)

Now on to the party.  I must say this was one of the most incredible wedding receptions I've ever seen.  The decor looked amazing but what truly amazed me was that after an afternoon ceremony, a break for photos and then a 6 hour reception, I'm pretty sure it could have gone two more hours.  There was no quit in either of these families.  And when I say a 6 hour reception, I don't mean that they opened the doors and had an hour before the bride and groom arrived or a cocktail hour.  The bride and groom were there at 7:00 and guests were arriving by the busload at 6:30.  At 1:00 am, the grandma's were still on the dance floor!  In addition to that, we had Katie's Grandma singing "play that funky music white boy" on the microphone and Katie's sister serenading her with "I touch myself".  I think I counted Tim's Dad's "floor count" at about 5.  By "floor count" I mean how many times I saw him on his back doing something crazy on the dance floor.

It was an amazing night for two amazing people and wonderful families.  I look forward to the next family wedding!  I don't care where in the world it may be... I'm there!

I'm going to make this one brief so I can go get ready for Christmas!!

Friday was a day full of wonderful people who deserved a wonderful day and got it.  The wedding ceremony was at the beautiful Holy Family Church in Cincinnati with the reception following at the Grand in Covington Kentucky.  The entertainment was provided by the Laika band who were a pleasure to work with. 

Thank you to all who made this night so amazing!

It was a chilly day but just nice enough we were able to do all the photos outside near the Madison in Northern Kentucky.

The Wedding Ceremony and Wedding Reception were both held in the Madison’s Grand Ballroom in Northern Kentucky.  Kendall was just glowing all day long and everyone around her and Darrell just seemed to make it even more special.   Kendall had her hair done by Jackie Rawe and her make up done by Sunanda Brammer.   I avoided the Wedding Cake knowing I’d eat it all as it looked like Spoon Fulla Sugar’s Hummingbird cake.  I'm sure it was amazing!  The beautiful lighting was courtesy of Maize Music along with the flowers from Country Heart.  I saw Bud Walters signature touch on their first dance.  Well done!  I also had a couple of firsts working with Tom and Karen the DJ's and Scott from Patterson Productions Films.  It was a pleasure!

I think Kendall would be a little upset if I didn't mention her dress since she works at David's Bridal and was referred to us by a fellow employee at Davids!  Thank you Erin.

I had a great time with you guys and really enjoyed getting to know some of your family and friends as well.  I hope you enjoy your sneak peek.  Congratulations!

What a beautiful and crazy day!!  I really appreciated how much everyone's flexibility and how they worked with us.  Even more important to me is how they made me feel like part of the family.  I look forward to a trip to New York for Jeremy's brother's wedding sometime soon!  Jeremy and Crystal have been waiting for this day for a long long time.  It was originally planned for August of 2010 if I remember correctly but little Cameron mad a suprise visit about a year ago and postponed the wedding till now.  Having said that, there was a little extra celebration in order and the party was on!  

The Wedding Ceremony was held at the beautiful St Xavier in Downtown Cincinnati followed by the Wedding Reception at the Madison’s Grand Ballroom in Northern Kentucky.  My good friend Jeff Clark from Party Pleasers provided the entertainment and additional lighting.  Crystal was absolutely beautiful and had her hair and make up done by Eye Do Make Up.  Motortoys limo service provided transportation with among the best chauffeur’s in the city in Jeff Green.  I avoided the Wedding Cake knowing I’d eat it all as it looked like Spoon Fulla Sugar’sRed Velvet as well as their Hummingbird cake.  KEEP IT AWAY FROM ME!!

 

I had a great time with you guys and really enjoyed getting to know some of your family and friends as well.  I hope you enjoy your sneak peek and I’ll try to get the rest back to you before Christmas!  Congratulations!

What a unique group this was!  First of all, everyone was so laid back and easy to work with.  Davin and Jilian were so easy going but boy were they ready to party!  And Nemar with Maize Music did not disappoint!!  The staff at the Madison Event Center was amazing headed by Lisa Greene who took care of both the Wedding Ceremony located in the loftat the Madison South as well as the Crystal room at the Madison North for the Wedding Reception.  Every time I see Lisa, I know we are in for smooth sailing all day long and that's exactly what we had.

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!

What a great day for a wedding.  I know it's a little chilly for outdoor photography in Cincinnati in November but I must say our wedding party was working hard to get back inside but still getting great photos!  Thank you for your cooperation.  You guys were a blast!  The locations were amazing with photos at spring grove and the ceremony at Norman Chapel.  I have to mention the very sweet young lady that was there to help at Norman Chapel.  She was very considerate and made things very easy after the ceremony to get photos done.  Thank you!  

After that we headed to Wunderland where we missed Lori because she had the audacity to get married herself and go to Florida.  Still, the staff at Wunderland didn't miss a beat.  It was pretty amazing and dj Johnny B kept the party going all night long!  Amanda just loved her cupcakes from spoon fulla sugar as did everyone else at the reception!!  The gorgeous floral arrangements were prepared by florist Mattfelds.  I love Amanda and Stephen's style and enjoyed every aspect of their day... except maybe the cool breeze.  I'll still take that over 90 degrees in a tux or 50 layers of dress though!

All and all, it was a beautiful day with some fantastic people.

Wedding Photography Cincinnati | Zach & Laura 11-5-11

November 6, 2011

First of all, please share this with your friends and family and feel free to comment about any aspect of the day!  There are more photos on the facebook page.  Please tag yourselves and comment!  

Well before I get to talking about the wonderful group of vendors I really want to talk about what really struck me about this wedding.  First of all, what a stunning group of people.  Starting with Laura who was breathtaking.  Not only is she striking to look at, but she's just as sweet of a person.  Laura's sisters and mom as well as Zach's sister, the bridesmaids and the guests as well.  On top of that, there were two fine looking bald men for best men!  So they had to be smokin!  It was a beautiful group of people and each one of them sweeter than the last.  It was truly a pleasure to be there.  The second thing that really struck me was the best man speech with a touching tribute to two amazing woman who I did not get the pleasure of meeting but I'm sure everyone knows were there in spirit.  Third, was a song Laura's father wrote for her, Zach and their adorable son Camden.  Well done dad!

We started at 20th Century Theater for some getting ready photos where Laura and her sister Rachel touched up her hair and make up that they did at Benzie Salon where they both work!  From there we went to Riverside Dr in Covington KY for their Wedding Photos.  The guys were decked out by the fine people at Folchis Formalwear and the florist was Jennie Hedges who did an amazing job on the bouquets.  At St. Anthony's for the wedding ceremony I caught up with Bret Sears and his crew of videographers who were amazingly invisible all night!  Since Laura and Zach had done all their photos prior to the ceremony, we walked out of the church and went straight to 20th century for the reception.  There, Zach from Hey Mr DJ greeted me at the door with the order of events and instructions for the night as I've come to expect from the always prepared crew from Hey Mr DJ. It's always nice working with a quality dj/mc so I don't feel like I have to run the reception!  Good seeing you again Zach.  We'll have to catch up again soon!  The last piece of the puzzle was the cake from Jerry's Cheesecakes which I heard was amazing!!

So, that's all I have for today.  Thanks for taking the time and please share this on your facebook or twitter or whatever you like!!

What a loaded wedding day!  Mike was so exited he revisited his breakfast just like the night he proposed!  Deana was trying to get over a cold.  We had a sudden outburst of rain just in time for the outside photos.  We were at the Wright Patterson Air Force Base, then the Museum, then Carillon Park, then the Dayton Marriott.  What a beautiful day!  It was a pretty amazing crew of wedding vendors.  This was my first chance to work with Brian and Mike from Blue Canister Studios and I must say they are top notch!  Without a doubt among the best I've ever worked with.  I also worked with DJ/Master of Ceremony Brian Harris for the first time and I can't say enough good things about him as well!  Both were thoroughly prepared and had amazing follow through.  I appreciate the teamwork.  It was as if we'd worked together for years.

Of course the entire day was set up and designed by the lovely ladies at Your Dream Day.  Kathy, Kerry and Annette are always a pleasure to work with.  They create some of the most amazing weddings!   The cake was from Dorothy Lane.  Transportation was provided by Motor Toys Limo Service.  Deana's dress was by Alfred Angelo.

{Cincinnati Wedding Photography} Joey & Jody

October 23, 2011

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!!

 You can see more photos on the Facebook Page.  Feel free to tag yourself and make comments!

{Cincinnati Wedding Photography}-Kurt & Allison 10-15-11

By: Cincinnati Wedding Photographers-Daniel Michael, Katie Schaefer, Bianca Clardy

October 16, 2011

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

I've been a wedding photographer in Cincinnati for 12 years and have seen Black, Purple, Red, Ivory, Champagne and White Wedding Dresses.  But, Friday I got to see my first Tie Dyed Wedding Dress!  As you can imagine, Friday was a fun night!  The Ceremony was at St Henry's followed by the Reception at The Madison Crystal Room.  The Florist was Secret Garden in Florence.  It was nice to work with my guy Tom Winkler from T&F Music who was MC and DJ for the evening.

Since you already know there is a Tie Dyed wedding dress involved here I'm sure you stopped reading a while back.  So I'm headed to the photos.

Cincinnati Wedding Photography, Brian & Mandy 10-13-11

By: Cincinnati Wedding Photographers, Daniel Michael & Don Schvart

October 14, 2011

Who has their Cincinnati Wedding Ceremony and Reception on a Thursday?... Br-andy.  That's the adopted abbreviation for Brian and Mandy.  The reason is, both of their parents got married on October 13th a little while back as well!!!  I love it!  Br-andy had an outdoor Ceremony in the beautiful weather (rain) at the Kings Island Resort and Conference Center.  Fortunately the Resort has a tent!!  Their Reception was decked out by none other than Tim with Party Pleasers DJs who also happened to refer this couple to me!  Thanks Tim, and Jessica and everyone else involved!!  The party was off the hook!  I cannot believe that so many people partied so late!  It was like a Saturday!!

The florist was Two Little Buds and Mandy's Hair was done by Jess and her Make Up by Salon La.  Mandy.... Brian.... Brandy, you guys were such a joy to be around tonight and your family and friends were just as great.  I'm not sure the last time I saw two sets of parents spend so much time on the dance floor before.  Your wedding was amazing and I hope you enjoy your little sneak peek!  Please share it with your friends and encourage them to comment and like it on the Facebook Page as well.  There are over 100 photos there!  Please tag yourself if you find a photo of you!
