Katie & Jeff // Wedding

When I say this couple is amazing I genuinely mean it, they are ahhhhmazing.  I mean, the groom recently donated his kidney to one of the groomsmen (talk about the ultimate groomsman gift) which subsequently started a chain of kidney transplants, so far TWO additional lives have been saved!   Who knows how many will follow!

United in their faith and driven by their love they light up each image.  The groom rocked a handsome blue suit and a well kempt beard and the bride wore a stunning open back dress and confidence that was contagious.  Check out the amazing architecture of the church  that the couple absolutely adored.

Megan & Nathan // Wedding

I love Rock N Roll….

Your wedding should, without a doubt, be a reflection of who you are as a couple. And Megan and Nathan’s wedding did just that.   This couple pulled together a very personal themed wedding around their love for music, for a celebration that truly sings and is a unique way to celebrate the harmony of their new life together.  The bride even gifted the groom a 12 string guitar. 

The event took place at The Top of the Market which is a 105-year-old historic venue located in downtown Dayton, Ohio and offered an urban vibe for the nuptials.  The music and Hollywood theme was continued throughout as the bride’s mother and her bestie designed the flowers in the colors of whites and deep purples.  Guest signed a Hollywood star as a creative alternative to a guest book.  They also had a concession stand with a popcorn machine and a candy buffet.  Speaking of sweets, the cake table had special cookies on them homemade by the bride’s best friend and her family.   "Dahlas" is a true Italian cookie that symbolizes "tying the knot" and wishes you good fortune on your marriage.

The guests were surprised by a confetti entrance and even played photographer that night as "I-spy" cards were placed on each table for guests to capture pictures of the night.

Cathy & Dana // Wedding

Who doesn’t ooh and aah when they spot a furry friend walking down the aisle with tail wagging and looking their wedding best? Dana and Cathy certainly included their dogs as a huge part of their special day.  They had their niece and nephew walk two dogs down the aisle and then the Brides walked two more dogs down the aisle.  I have never seen a church that was so welcoming of different lifestyles- including bringing dogs into their ceremony.  Better yet, the couple owns their own dog grooming business in Dayton and also own show dogs.  This was truly a dog lovers wedding!

The event was so much fun, even with good luck rain and having another fur baby at home ready to give birth.  But that didn’t stop Cathy and Dana. They had a great time talking to family and friends and dancing the night away on the dance floor.

Sarah & John Wedding

It’s all in the details for this elegant rustic wedding! With hints of plum and cranberry, these two love birds managed to turn an into an elegant, nature inspired venue for their special day, and you’ll be amazed by how it turned out.

For their wedding, Sarah and John planned a romantic, rustic affair at Cox Arboretum in Dayton Ohio. This beautiful 189-acre facility is a special place for visitors to escape among trees, shrubs, specialty gardens, mature forests, and prairies.  And makes for great photographs!

The day started with a traditional ceremony held inside the lodge at the venue, in which Sarah and John exchanged heartfelt vows surrounded by their families and friends. After saying “I do,” the pair whisked guests off to the Hilton Garden Inn for an unforgettable celebration.

At the reception venue the couple created a romantic oasis by decorating the reception tables with arrangements of white hydrangeas, baby’s breath and warm candlelight and rustic wooden accents and mason jars and vintage style lanterns. The venue was accented with dramatic up lighting that infused the ballroom at the Hilton with a party-ready vibe, gave the evening a fun, festive feel. And the glow sticks and light up sunglasses definitely helped to get the party started!

After a night of dancing that included an epic confetti first dance moment, the guests took home S’more party favors that were absolutely delicious! This yummy treat complemented their popcorn and cupcake/cookie dessert table which left no guest leaving with an empty stomach.
