You really couldn’t ask for a better day. The weather was unseasonably amazing, the couple was incredibly fun, and their design was stunning! All of these elements came together for Erin and John as they celebrated with their closest friends and family in downtown Cincinnati. We had a blast with them as we created our last Same Day Edit of the year and according to Erin, it was our best yet. It was a surprise to their guests who enjoyed it and I wanted to share with you. Enjoy!

Sonia and Steven’s gorgeous Chicago wedding started at St. James before the celebration reached its peak at Exmoor Country Club. Stunning would be an understatement, this place is rich in design and history to begin with before being transformed for their wedding. We had a blast with them, their friends and families as we created their Same Day Edit which premiered at their wedding reception.

Nikki and Brian had a stunning wedding in downtown Chicago at the W Hotel. First up was a very intimate ceremony where they shared their personal vows and Brian being quite the poet, turned his vows into a poem. After the candle-lit ceremony, the party started in the ballroom where their friends and family danced the night away in a spectacular celebration. Enjoy their Same Day Edit, which premiered at their wedding reception.

Sure the weather didn’t get the memo, even dropping a few inches of hail the night before in a wicked storm, but the clouds parted and the storm calmed, making for a great wedding day. Early at the salon, the energy was contagious and it carried throughout the entire day. After the ceremony the party really started in an incredible multi-tent reception. It was inspiring to watch everyone complete a specific task to make this unbelievable event come to life and when Lesley and Matt entered for their introductions, the guests were as thunderous as the the storms the night before. It was as if everyone simultaneously took a shot of espresso, the tents were buzzing with a radiant energy and it continued through every event. It was an incredibly personal event down to Lesley’s brother writing and performing the song for her first dance with Matt. They wanted to surprise their guests with a Same Day Edit which premiered during dinner, I hope you enjoy it as much as they did!

It doesn’t get much better than Betsy and Will’s party, um…I mean wedding. From the start of our relationship, I knew this was going to be a fun one but I think I might have underestimated that a little. The preparations in the morning were a great indicator of how the rest of the day would go and IT WAS A BLAST! Josh and I had so much fun working with Betsy, Will, their families and friends, at times it was hard to believe we were actually working. Please enjoy their Same Day Edit, which premiered at their wedding reception!

You could almost categorize the weather on their wedding day by pre ceremony and post ceremony. Pre ceremony, it rained, and by rained I mean IT POURED. Everyone was paying close attention to the weather though because Lauryn and Chris were hoping for an outdoor ceremony with the Cincinnati skyline to their backs. Amazing as it may be, it rained until the last possible minute, just as they were setting up for the ceremony. It truly was unbelievable how the rain stopped, the clouds parted and the sun came out, all within a very short amount of time. Chris claims it was his doing, while others had their own ideas. Either way, it made for a beautiful outdoor ceremony. After the ceremony, the party got started and it did not stop, thanks to Jeff at Party Pleasers. It was a spectacular event filled with so many personal details and I’m honored to have been a part of it all. Enjoy their Same Day Edit, which premiered during their wedding reception.

Allison and Parker had a very intimate wedding as they joined their lives surrounded by their closest friends and family. The Grand Ballroom in the Westin in Columbus was the perfect venue for their wedding with its classic architecture and elegant ambiance, it was a definite match. Allison spent the morning preparing with her bridesmaids and family while Parker was doing the same with his friends from the Air Force Academy. Everything was perfect and not a detail was overlooked, in a word, it was stunning! They truly gave us so much to work with and were so excited to surprise their guests with the Same Day Edit, the reaction was powerful. Enjoy this short film which premiered at their wedding reception.

It doesn’t get much better than an awesome Fall wedding at Drees Pavilion.  Although it was a little cooler and wetter than expected, it was still an incredible event as Krista and Jeremy celebrated their new beginning with their friends and families.  They were so easy going and up for anything, running through a field with no shoes, hanging out on a bridge, and all of it before the ceremony.  Prior to the wedding day we also hung out as we filmed their love story, which would be a part of their Same Day Edit.  Its a feature that can add so much backstory to a Same Day Edit and offers a little insight about the couple.  We set up in the studio and just talked about how they met and their lives together up to this point and then we go have some fun with the cameras.  That is then mixed with footage from the actual wedding day and presented that night durning dinner.  Enjoy!

Under cloudless fall day in Cincinnati, Jeannett and Mike were married at St. Mary’s Cathedral which was packed with friends and family which had come to witness this epic event.  Their day started with their separate preparations, Jeannett at her childhood home, actually the home her grandparents had also lived in and Mike hanging with the guys in a local suite.  When I first arrived, Jeannett handed me a plateful of her mother’s homemade cookies, which I HIGHLY recommend you finding a way to get your hands on one (dozen).  Seriously, they are that good!  Only a few hours later, Jeannett was making her way through the player tunnels at Great American Ballpark and out through the dugout to meet her awaiting groom for the first time that day.  It doesn’t get any better than that!  A few hours after that, they would be right back there as husband and wife celebrating with their friends and family with a baseball themed reception, complete with ballpark food, a baseball cake, and amazing decor.  Mike is a graphic designer and he created everything from the invitations, to the table place cards.  It was a very unique and personal reception.  I had the honor of sharing the day with Annie and Toby Varland of Varland Photography. They were amazing to work with and took some amazing shots of us in action, including the ones below.  Jeannett and Mike wanted a Same Day Edit, which is a short film of their day shown that night during dinner.  What made their’s really different is that it was shown on 25 televisions around the room and a HUGE screen simultaneously.  It was an incredible experience from beginning to end, and I hope you enjoy their Same Day Edit!
