Nia and Spencer's Intimate Ault Park Wedding

in

I leave every wedding I photograph with a happy heart.  Spending time with people on such a special day is something I am truly grateful for.   Nia and Spencer were going to have a huge wedding celebration, but when they started thinking about it, they realized that isn't their style.  They decided to have an intimate ceremony at Ault Park surrounded by their their immediate family.  There were 16 of us gathered to witness their love.   The weather was perfect and the couple was glowing.  Their love for each other along with the support of such amazing families will make them unstoppable together.

Stephanie and Steve's Cincinnati Park Wedding

in

This day was so special.  Stephanie and Steven smiled and enjoyed every moment of their wedding.  It was one of those beautiful September Saturdays, when the sun was shining and it was unseasonable warm.  I met Stephanie and Steven at the Mariemont Inn where they got ready for their gorgeous wedding at Alms Park in Cincinnati.  Their afternoon wedding was intimate and relaxed.  I am thankful to have been part of it.

See Stephanie and Steve's engagement session here.

I just love both of these images! The ceremony was officiated by Karen, Stephanie's cousin who you might remember seeing on my blog when I photographed her wedding and engagement last year.   Rachel Lisa's makeup skills added a special glow to Stephanie's already perfect skin. After the ceremony we headed to O'Bryonville to The Art of Entertaining for their reception. The succulent table decor had me swooning.  Their thank you gifts to their guests were personal and unique.   Steve loves to garden, so he made pickle jars for the guests.  Stephanie's father made these cedar succulent containers.  They smelled amazing.
