An awesome couple, a beautiful day and a stunning backdrop-who could ask for more?!  Tracy and Shanaka were married at Drees Pavilion with the city of Cincinnati to their backs.  It was a gorgeous wedding filled with friends, family, and tradition.   They shared tea with their parents as part of a Tea Ceremony, then exchanged vows on a cloudless August evening.  Then the party started as they danced the night away.  We had a great time spending the day with them, they really gave us so much to work with and I was so excited when they decided to do a Same Day Edit which played at their reception during dinner.  Their guests really enjoyed it and I wanted to share it with you as well.  Enjoy.

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!
