Kristin + Mark: Coming Attraction
It would be difficult to ask for a better day. From the preparations at her uncle’s beautiful home to the reception at The Phoenix that evening, everything was under a stunning sky. The weather was perfect, the leaves had just started to change, I swear Kristin and Mark have connections somewhere to get a day like that! It was definitely a unique day too. Kristin and Mark didn’t want to see each other before the ceremony, but were having their pre ceremony photos taken at the same time, in the same place, her uncle’s home. They even wanted to ride to the ceremony together, but still didn’t want to see each other first. I suggested they wear blindfolds and even sit next to each other in the limo bus. They loved it and even added to it by bringing along some heart shaped glasses to wear on top of the blindfolds, just to be sure. They had a blast with it all, and even though they sat next to each other on the bus, holding hands, they still never saw each other until she walked down the aisle! The very talented Steve Lyons was there as well capturing each moment and was incredible to work with. It was a perfect day for the start of their lives together. I hope you enjoy their Coming Attraction Trailer!
Erin + Adam: Coming Attraction

In a week of pouring rain, Erin and Adam somehow had one of the most beautiful days for a wedding. This storybook wedding started in Hyde Park and wrapped up at the Taft Museum of Art where Erin and Adam’s closest friends and family members celebrated their new beginning. Erin was so much fun! She even asked where my Chucks were, hoping I’d wear them that day. As if that wasn’t cool enough, she even was thinking of the sweet dress shot before I even arrived! I knew then, this was going to be an incredible event. I had the pleasure of working with the amazing Robert White for the first time and I’m certainly looking forward to the next time. Erin and her bridesmaids couldn’t have looked better thanks to the artistic talents of Nancy at Brideface and the incomparable Jen Nally. The always awesome DJ Toad made sure all the chairs were empty and the dance floor packed as their guests danced long into the night. This is just a preview of their film and I hope you enjoy it!
Shannon + John: The Same Day Edit

You simply could not have picked a better day for a wedding. Not only was the weather perfect, EVERYTHING was perfect. Shannon and John joined their lives in front of their closest friends and family and I’m incredibly honored to have been a part of it and to share their story with everyone. The energy was absolutely incredible and from getting to know them over the last couple of months I could really feel it escalate as their wedding got closer. Shannon and her bridesmaids were so awesome during preparations that morning, and John and his groomsmen were having the time of their lives starting with lunch at Behle Street Cafe, good good times! Dawn Dagenbach and her incredible team made the day flow with ease, and my rockstar photography friends Kortnee + Ted, were amazing to work with as always! After the ceremony the party kicked off at Cincinnati’s Union Terminal, which was absolutely stunning, the perfect location for a celebration. I was so excited when Shannon + John chose a Same Day Edit, they are always so much fun to produce and the reaction from the guests is always one of disbelief. They can’t believe they’re watching a highlight from that very day. They are taken on a journey and are able to see the preparations, the photo shoot, the ceremony and even parts of the reception that just happened a couple hours or minutes ago. This was no exception. Their guests loved it and I really hope you do too!
Cari + Kyle: Coming Attraction

This was a wedding I was looking forward to filming for a long time. Cari + Kyle had a gorgeous wedding at the spectacular Drees Pavilion which has one of the best views of downtown Cincinnati. I remember the anticipation of their first look as Cari stood in the gazebo looking out at the downtown backdrop and Kyle walking up behind her. You could really feel the energy, it was truly an amazing moment! From the preparations to their last dance, it was an amazing celebration. Cari and her bridesmaids were so awesome and really helped us get some amazing footage. Kevin Ford worked his floral magic and produced some of the best arrangements I’ve ever seen. The Paul Otten Band played everyone’s favorites, Robert Ramundo showed off his crazy photography skills, and this elegant event was orchestrated by the talented Elisa MacKenzie and her incredible team. It was a day filled with love and laughter and I’m truly honored to have been a part of it all. I really hope you enjoy their coming attraction!
Kristin + Lucas: Coming Attraction
One word. Stunning. This was an incredibly beautiful wedding with two amazing people. Kristin and Lucas shared their vows at St. Louis downtown, then the festivities began at the Millennium in the Grand Ballroom. Cecilia Rose and her awesome team at Eventurous really did an awesome job of keeping everything in order and designing a gorgeous event. Jasmine Parker of Brideface was a master artist with the makeup that day. The always rad Katie Elfers created some of the best floral eye candy I’ve ever seen, while Mr. Phil Francis of DJ Toad spun the night away. For the second week in a row I had the pleasure of working with Chad Moon and his wife Chandra, I really hope to work with them again in the future. Kristin & Lucas, thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of such a special event, I hope you enjoy this teaser as much as I do.
