Rachael + David

Joyful Neighborhood Wedding

We remember when we had our first call with Rachael. She was in her apartment, and we could see peeks of their place around her on the video feed. Turns out they have one of the coolest apartments in Columbus, this awesome little studio in an old industrial building in the beautiful German Village. I distinctly remember her email saying that our photography was their “North Star,” and that when they envisioned their photos, they knew we were the ones to help create them. We knew instantly that they had a beautiful vision for their day but more importantly a depth to their hearts that would blend well with ours.

Throughout the weeks leading up to the wedding we bonded over the loss of loved ones and the importance family but also the joy of moving forward and cherishing the gifts we have. Their wedding day proved to be an easy extension of this bond, with them truly inviting us into the day on an emotional level.

The wedding took place in Schiller Park just a few blocks from their home. The entire day was meant to be a really thoughtful invitation to their guests; An invitation into their lives, and the neighborhood that means so much to them.

The reception took place just down the road at High Line Car House, one of our favorite little venues in Columbus. The night was full of touching speeches from different family members. And then… BAM. The most epic dance part we had all year lead by Aaron James from Perfect Balance Entertainment. Just off the dance floor, our BRAUNbooth provided a fun and lighthearted experience for their guests.

Rachael’s face on the dance floor, David singing along with his friends, and their family members surrounding them with love. It was the perfect day.

Lauren + Kevin

Outdoor Reception Wedding

Lauren + Kevin were married under the palms and celebrated under the stars. Beneath the night sky, basking in the warm glow of bistro lights, heartfelt toasts were accompanied by authentic smiles, bursts of laughter, and moments of deep significance. The warmth and intimacy of dinner gave way to an epic unending dance floor!

Knowing Lauren + Kevin means experiencing their affection for the people closest to them, which is second only to their love for one another. People-first.
