I’ve been so excited about sharing more from Anne and Nick’s Cinco de Mayo wedding at the Morris-Butler House and Flat 12 Bierwerks!  The day couldn’t have been more beautiful with bright blue skies, fluffy white clouds, colorful details, and all the happy smiling faces.  And two faces that shined brighter  because they are better together – Anne and Nick.   Let’s pick up where we left off, just as they shared their First Look.  Friends and family can view their entire gallery here.

I just couldn’t go into this long holiday weekend without sharing some beautiful images from a recent wedding that took place on a lovely, sunny Cinco de Mayo at the historic Morris-Butler House.  Anne and Nick had been counting down the days until they exchanged “I do’s” in front of their closest friends and family members.  Frankly, I have to admit I was counting right along with them!  Ever since their engagement session, I knew their wedding day was going to be one amazing event!  With their style and love of art and color, they put so much into each and every detail and moment of the day, making it a fun, unique, and festive celebration!  Love it!  Much more to come soon, but for now, let’s take a quick look at some bridal details and moments leading up to the ceremony!

Stay tuned for more coming soon!
Have a happy and safe holiday weekend!

Jen and Doug’s love story is one that is beautifully composed, floating along a musical score that only Bach or Beethoven could have dreamed of penning.  They met while attending Butler University back in 2003.  Their paths were destined to cross as they were both in band, for music was something they both loved and understood.  They sat in some of the same classrooms, and hung out in the same circle of friends.  In 2004, their musical score went from a solo to a lovely, harmonious duet as they started dating.  And a few years later, they joined hands and hearts in front of their beloved family and friends to officially mark the beginning of their overture, their life together.  A lovely, harmonious duet.

Jen and Doug, thank you for allowing me the honor of capturing your beautiful wedding day!  I wish you a lifetime of happiness and love, a perfect melody. Friends and family can view their online gallery here.

Their beautiful wedding has been in the making since 1999, when they met in Cancun.   Their love story is anything but ordinary… it is unique, all their own.  California guy meets Midwestern gal, they fall in love, and dance the night away among family and friends.  That’s the short version.  The abbreviated version.  For to tell the whole lovely story would take far too long, so I’m hoping the images below will do their story the justice that is so deserved.  After their amazing engagement session in Santa Monica, I’ll admit I was overcome with excitement when their wedding day finally arrived!  To say that Katherine and Jesse’s wedding weekend was wonderful would be an understatement.  From the warm welcome party, with its heartfelt, personal, and hilarious speeches – and Courtney’s poem that left not a dry eye in the room – to the wedding day, full of joy and celebration, gorgeous details, a stunning couple, a fantastic party, super kind and super fun people, to the sweet Sunday brunch, where everyone was not quite ready to say goodbye to the happy couple, to such a perfect weekend… These two are so genuine, warm, funny, and loved.  Guests traveled from all over the world to Ohio’s capital to share in their special day, including Arizona, California, Chicago, Canada, Florida, Israel, China, and Singapore.  Katherine and Jesse, documenting your day was such an incredible honor, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for choosing me.  I wish you two all the joy and happiness that this world has to offer and more.  Cheers to sweet dances, clinking glasses, and love.  Forever.


Without further adieu, let’s get to the images, shall we?  I have been so excited to share more from Katherine and Jesse’s wedding since their quick sneak peek earlier this week!  Family and friends may view the entire online gallery here!


Katherine’s day started at Max the Salon with Maggie for an elegant up-do:

 Then it was time for makeup by Robbie:

 There was a little time to relax before the ceremony…and some time to cuddle!

Happy November!  This has been one busy and beautiful fall!  Speaking of beauty, here’s a little sneak peek of a wedding that you won’t want to miss…coming soon!

Have a wonderful day!
