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.

Kristine & Justin Engagement

Kristine & Justin met while both working with race horses.  So for their engagement photographs we wanted to take them back to their roots.  We took a little drive down to Kentucky to soak up the sunlight and horses!

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!
