Black and White Reception Magic

Weddings

When looking over a photographer’s portfolio, you’ll often find romantic portraits, stunning ceremonies or sweet bridal party moments that happen in glowing natural light. However, that’s only half of the day. The second half, your reception, is a medley of candid smiles, reactions and laughs that show off the real personality of you and your […]

Waimea Valley Oahu Botanical Wedding

Destination, Travel, Weddings

Having gone to design school in Cincinnati and then to California for work, it only made sense for Joe and Jen to continue their journey west for their wedding. When deciding on the “where” part of your celebration, if the majority of your guests are going to have to travel regardless, you might as well […]

Rachel and Patrick smartly chose the Renaissance Hotel as their reception […]

During a pocket of reprieve, Annie’s sweet extended family kindly offered their backyard for the wedding day. A homemade ceremony backdrop was […]

Red’s Great American Ballpark Proposal

Proposals

It was quite a convenient surprise when Tyler “won” a behind the scenes tour of The Great American Ballpark through a work raffle. Or at least, that’s what his story was. Tyler and Kaitlyn have adored many a Reds baseball game over the years and it’s grown to be an essential part of their dating […]

Cincinnati Wedding at The View

Weddings

Lane and Matthew ooze timeless elegance. Their wedding juxtaposed both historic and modern styles together with maintaining a chic air of class throughout. With a cathedral wedding in Hyde Park Cincinnati and their reception overlooking downtown with The View’s floor to ceiling glass walls, it was a smooth transition from classic to contemporary. Toss in […]
