If you are looking for a venue with a unique vibe to set the stage for your dream wedding, I would recommend checking out the venues that are on this list. The venue you choose sets the tone for the entire wedding day. More and more couples are opting to go with a space that says something about who they are as a couple.

There’s nothing quite like the magic of a New Year’s Eve wedding, and this celebration in downtown Cincinnati was spectacular. We began the day photographing the bride & groom getting ready at the Westin Hotel in downtown Cincinnati, overlooking Fountain Square.

This past weekend was so beautiful. Sunday morning, Kristin and Rob tied the knot at their brunch wedding. What better wedding venue for a brunch wedding in June than The Marmalade Lily, where you are surrounded by fields of beautiful blooming flowers. It truly has the perfect vibe for an outdoor wedding.

Saturday was pure wedding magic. Christina & Ryan had an ethereal garden wedding in Loveland, Ohio. Every detail came together to create an other-worldly vibe. From Christina’s bridal headpiece to the ornate cake cutting utensils- this wedding was romantic and atmospheric. Guests enjoyed an outdoor dinner reception while the sun set over the garden at The Marmalade Lily. The resident wedding cat even came out to say hello to guests.

Yesterday night was incredibly beautiful. Ault Park is easily one of my favorite places to photograph couples in Cincinnati. Everything there is beautiful, with so many great backgrounds- you really can’t go wrong. I am there quite often, and was recently photographing a newly married couple when another couple approached me to ask for information.

Now that things are starting to look at least a little bit more normal, I am excited to share some of the things I have been working on over the past few weeks. Earlier this week, I headed down to Cincinnati for an engagement session at Coffee Emporium and French Park.

I am so excited to share a few photos from a recent engagement session at Glenwood Gardens in the Cincinnati area. Mandy and Justin are so wonderful together. When we began planning their engagement session, they knew they had to include their two dogs in some of the photos. I love when people include their pets in their photos- it looks great and is such a fun thing to do.

Here are a few of my favorite Cincinnati engagement session locations. All of these places are free and open to the public, so no additional fee is required to have your engagement photos taken there. They are also all pet-friendly, so you could bring along your furry friends to be a part of your engagement session at any of these locations as well.

The Marmalade Lily is easily one of my absolute favorite venues in southern Ohio. Located in Loveland, this indoor/outdoor wedding venue has a unique charm that can’t be found anywhere else. It’s actually a flower farm, so the grounds are covered in fields of gorgeous flowers that grow all season long. Being a flower farm means they also take care of all your floral needs as well.
