Kristine & Justin

Kristine and Justin is an amazing and super outrageously fun couple with an equally awesome wedding party and guests in attendance.  So when you put tons of super awesome and fun people in a room together you ultimately get one SUPER RAD WEDDING!

It was no surprise that these 2 horse lovers opted for an outdoor rustic barn wedding.  And even though the thought of a rustic barn wedding would deem to be a casual affair, the bride and groom did not in any way skimp on the details.  The wedding colors of red and turquoise where unexpected, but worked for their rustic barn themed event.  All the small details really made a huge impact and really personalized the event for the couple.  Guests signed a tree slice, rather than a traditional book.  Guest gifts were Mason jar inspired mugs adorned with small brass horseshoe charms, paired with paper straws.  The wedding party got a fancier version of these which were personalized with chalkboard paint, lace and burlap.  Other details to mention were customized matches, napkins, drink stirrers, a signature cocktail and even flip flops for their wild dancing guests.  And of course they rented a photo booth with a trunk full of cool props for guests to take pics in between hitting the dance floor.  Ohhhhh and I can’t forget to mention the cake & dessert table, which makes my mouth water to this day just thinking about it.  AHHHH-MAZING!

A couple of shout outs on this event…….The flowers were amazing and always beautiful from Sherwood Florist (high fives Jessie!).  Event Planners Pink with Envy (Brooke) helped the day go amazingly seamless and were splendid to work with on the day of!

Jessie & Ryan Wedding

Drooling over beautiful weddings is just something I have become used to, but Jessie and Ryan’s wedding takes classically beautiful weddings to a whole new level. And I suppose why this wedding was featured on The Knot!!!

Jessica and Ryan is a fun young couple who are very much in love and their wedding was a classically romantic and a simply beautiful event.  They have been together for 5+ years .  Ryan is in the Air force, Jessie is a school teacher. Jessie also works with a local florist Floral V Designs and has been planning her wedding flowers for years.  She wanted soft blush colors and lots of texture, very romantic.  Her colors of pale pink and white/ivory spoke true to the fresh and clean romantic feel of the evening. The overwhelming dramatic and gorgeous venue, the Dayton Art Institute truly stands on its own and screams totally EYE CANDY!!! The ceremony took place in the outdoor courtyard at the venue, which provided an intimate and gorgeous space for the “I-Do’s”.  The couple's design elements truly complimented the event space and emphasized on its classic beauty of the venue rather than overwhelm it.

Wedding invitations, programs and menu made by me, her friend and photographer. Guests left the event satisfied visually from the romantically designed space and with full bellies as the couple opted for food stations that featured 20+ types of food.

Erin & Mark

In the spirit of the best holiday Halloween, I'm sharing a throw back wedding!  Mark & Erin had an AMAZING party!  They got married at Midnight on Halloween!  The party started at 7pm and the Bride & Groom partied for several hours.  Then they did a full wardrobe and makeup change for their spooky ceremony.  Walking down the aisle to one of my personal favorite songs from Bauhaus.  <3  This wedding spoke to my goth at heart!  Happy Halloween!!!!

Jessica & Ty

I photographed Jessica & Ty's wedding in 2011 and it's possibly my favorite wedding of-all-time!  So I'm revisiting it!  It was even featured on Rock 'n Roll Bride!!!  I hope this helps inspire all my amazing offbeat brides!  Some of the highlights include 1000 hand-folded paper cranes used as the couples backdrop (they folded them all!), First Dance Lighters, "Dance Machine" sweat bands, Cotton Candy & Nacho late night food, Chips n' Salsa Groom's Cake, Belly Dance Performance, Gift Bamboo with lottery tickets, Custom Designed Signs and labels for everything you can imagine.  Jessica & Ty's little boy Kingston was one of the highlights for me-  he wandered EVERYWHERE!  Including in the middle of the Garter Toss!  So funny!  

Check it out on Rock 'n Roll Bride!
