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!

Jeannett and Mike enjoying their Same Day Edit!


I’m not exactly sure who Sarah and Paul know, but somehow they were able to have one of the most beautiful days for a wedding anyone could ever ask for, especially for August in Cincinnati. I remember during our initial meeting how excited they were about their wedding and then just days before the wedding we met again, this time with Paul’s family. A memory that will stick with me forever was Paul’s dad who is French, telling me that I’m an true artist, which in his awesome accent, sounded so much better than it ever had before! As if that wasn’t great enough, Paul tells me he is going to say his vows in French and I’m not sure who was more excited about that, me or Sarah. It was a stunning wedding under a perfect sky and I was so excited to create their Same Day Edit which played during dinner at their reception. Their guests absolutely loved it and I wanted to share it with you, enjoy!

If Nicole and Andres’ wedding had a recipe, I’m sure it looked something like this- mix equal parts of energy, class, style, and family until blended smooth. I’m not sure I’ve ever experienced a wedding quite like this and the only word that comes to mind is ‘epic’. I knew when I met Nicole and her mother and sister that this was going to be something different that anything I had experienced before, and my senses didn’t let me down. So many unique, personal, and even hand made details went into this event that was shared by 220 of their closest friends and family, many of whom came from out of town to witness this celebration. Nicole and Andres had just moved here and wanted to give their guests something special at the reception that went beyond a Same Day Edit, so we created a piece that would give a little backstory to them and even spotlight some events of the week leading up to the wedding. Many thanks to my friends at Northernlight Filmworks for driving in to help with this one! I hope you enjoy Nicole and Andres Enhanced Same Day Edit which played during dinner at their reception this past Saturday.
