I will just say it. THIS WEDDING WAS AMAZING. As in, knock your socks off, call your mom and tell her about it, crazy, awesome, cool, off the HOOK, WHAAAAT???, kind of AMAZING. Julie & Kat (john/kat/johnny/international man of mystery) are seriously two of the greatest people. Soo genuinely wonderful, kind, warm and FUN FUN FUN!!! Their day was full of wonderful family and incredible friends, unmistakable joy, impeccable style, the coolest venues…and then the party of the century, as it was coined…and LIVED UP to be!! They wanted their wedding to be a reflection of them, TONS OF FUN, not take yourself too seriously but still look pretty darn stylish and hot kind of wedding and it really was exactly that!! Julie & Kat are also DIEHARD Xavier University fans. So, what else would they do but have a Xavier themed wedding…and yes, upon initial thought, you might say, hmmmm. interesting. a college themed wedding. BUT….put Julie’s (& kat!) stylish touch to this wedding and you have yourself an incredibly stylish affair, featuring the uber hot color of navy, incredibly beautiful accents all around and with none other than the backdrop of the gorgeous Xavier campus and the beautiful downtown skyline of Cincinnati. Spectacular. Julie & Kat….I completely adore you both and can’t tell you how much fun Erika and I had being a part of your wedding! Thank you for embracing us soo wholeheartedly and being soo wonderful to work with!! xoxoxo!!

What a sweet, special, gorgeous, perfectly planned wedding Megan & Julian had! From the meetings leading up to the wedding, I knew this one would be a show stopper…and it truly was! It had a beautiful blend, though…of show stopper-ness (i know, that’s not a real word!) and intimacy! That’s a rare blend, but this wedding had it. The families were incredibly kind and sweet, loving and emotional…Megan and Julian have a rich, wonderful connection that is impossible to miss…everything was soo well thought out, with meaningful touches sprinkled through out every aspect of the day….and then there was an incredible WOW factor to the entire wedding! It also had one of the most incredible vendor teams that a wedding could have! If there would have been ONE aspect that I would have loved to have the ability to change for Megan & Julian…it would have been the unbelievable HEAT that they endured on their wedding day! At one point in the day, I saw on my phone that the heat index was 115 and the humidity was at 98%! I was lucky to get 15 total minutes of outdoor pictures for the entire day because the heat just wouldn’t allow for it to be any other way. Luckily…all worked out in the end and the day was truly wonderful!! Megan & Julian…thank you for allowing me to have a glimpse into the very special love that you two share and be a part of your amazing wedding!! It was such an honor for me!
