Yesterday’s wedding was absolutely gorgeous. It rained all morning, but when it was time to take photos outside of the University of Dayton chapel where Magge & Joe planned to get married, the rain magically stopped. After their church wedding ceremony, we headed to Riverscape Metropark in downtown Dayton to get some photos of the bride & groom. Then the newlyweds and their guests enjoyed a beautiful reception at The Steam Plant.

One thing I absolutely love to do is work on creative editorials and branding sessions with my fellow Dayton and Cincinnati wedding vendors. When my friends from Blush & Bloom Weddings and Let’s Do Makeup and Hair told me what they had in mind for this editorial wedding photo shoot, I was beyond excited to be a part of it.
