Every wedding day is different, but at this Dayton wedding, something happened that I have never seen before. I have been photographing weddings for quite a while, but this was definitely a first. Here’s the scoop. Nichole & Kyle got married on the same day as Nichole’s grandparents. They wanted to celebrate that they share the same special wedding anniversary day, so they surprised her grandparents with a cake of their own during the reception. It was such a sweet moment.

The Buckeye Barn has the most beautiful barn and outdoor ceremony space. Guests enjoyed a country wedding on a warm & sunny spring day. It was a celebration to remember. They even included one of their dogs- who was, of course, the dog of honor. Enjoy this quick look at Mandy & Justin’s wedding at The Buckeye Barn!

Kylie & Ben tied the knot yesterday at the Oakwood Municipal Court- which is such a place to get married in Oakwood, Ohio. They brought their dog, Winston, along for the celebration, since they wanted to have their ceremony outside. He even wore a suit & tie- complete with a pocket square so that him and Ben could match. It was perfect. I also love that they brought a cutting cake along with a personalized cake topper.

This design set up at the Dayton Arcade was so elegant. There is something so classic and elegant about a black, white & gold wedding color palette. The lounge area had a modern vibe- with a curved white couch and round ottoman - the perfect place for wedding guests to relax and enjoy the party! Another favorite element of this wedding reception set-up was the bar- it looked so classy. What a great design to complement the black and white penny tile floors inside the newly renovated Dayton Arcade.

This look is bold and bright, with tropical details perfect for a summer wedding or event! The acrylic stands almost make it look like the colorful floral arrangements are literally dancing above your head- it’s the very definition of wedding magic.

I am so excited to bring you the second of four styled shoots at Dayton Arcade, a newly renovated historic wedding & event venue in downtown Dayton. The Dayton Arcade is such an exciting new addition to the downtown Dayton wedding venues. It’s quite large and has unique historic architectural elements that make it truly one of a kind. This design was pink & peppy, with lots of details inspired by confetti and champagne.

Going inside The Dayton Arcade is something I have wanted to do for as long as I can remember. My grandmother used to shop there, many years ago. I have heard so many times about how insanely beautiful the inside of the building is. When the opportunity to photograph a styled shoot there popped up, I knew I had to be there! I am so excited to show you guys what it looks like now, after all the renovations have been completed. This historic downtown Dayton location is ready to take on weddings!

Tillman & Star tied the knot on a snowy day in February, surrounded by their family. Weddings at the Courthouse in Oakwood, Ohio are always beautiful and their special day was no exception. I love a winter wedding- especially when there is a layer of fresh snow on the ground. It was definitely a cold day, so the bride wore a hooded, fur-lined cape to keep herself warm. Wearing some kind of outer layer for outdoor photos at a winter wedding is always a great idea.

Fall weddings are my favorite, and this beautiful day at Rolling Meadows Ranch was so dreamy. Yesterday Laura & Robert tied the knot at their outdoor ceremony, surrounded by family and friends. It was the perfect autumn day to celebrate a wedding- crisp and breezy, comfortable for all of their guests to enjoy both indoors and outdoors.
