Caroline + Brian

Stylish + Easy Urban Wedding

Caroline + Brian planned stylish, modern wedding in the heart of Cincinnati. It was a day full of laughter and love with the closest of family and friends. These two are classy and fiery, kind and generous. When you find the bride + groom on the dance floor with their friends before the evening has even kicked off, you know it’s going to be one heck of a party. It's hard to not want to immediately join the celebration when with them!

Throughout the planning process we could tell Caroline + Brian had a big vision for their day, to keep it classy, simple, and full of celebration and with the help of Stephanie from Cincy Event Planning, it was pulled off better than they hoped. We will never get over how the light bounces throughout a city, it was perfection for their day!

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.

Laura + Ed

Elegant Outdoor Wedding

There’s something special about getting ready in your childhood home. Laura grew up in a stunning historic home in the Indian Hill neighborhood of Cincinnati. The rooms in their home are filled with family mementoes and memories of Laura’s childhood. The sounds of giggles and little feet of nieces and nephews running around echoed through the halls, and cheers from her college alma mater’s football game in the background. Laura was brimming with the joy and peace of being in a place that was so special to her.

The celebration took place at the Camargo Club, another special place to the family. The night ended with The Sly Band putting on one of the best performances we’ve ever seen. It was the most beautiful fall day, it could not have gone more perfectly. Laughter, family, close friends, a personal ceremony, a candlelight reception and one heck of a dance party. The day they hoped for and will cherish forever.

The team that made this day all Laura + Ed hoped for:

 

Stationary: Poeme

Band: The Sly Band

Cake: Maribelle Cakery

Videographer: Life Time Films

Bethany + Peter - Pallet 23 Wedding Cincinnati Ohio

Dear everyone,

Brunch receptions are the best idea.

Sincerely,
The Brauns

Bethany + Peter's ceremony took place at noon, and was followed up by a reception with breakfast foods and beer that was handmade by Peter himself. Um, yes please! Bethany and Peter are both speech language pathologists, and the centerpieces on the tables were highlighted by phonetic symbols from parts of words representing their relationship. Nearly everything at the wedding was hand crafted by Bethany herself, and she managed to combine excellent aesthetics with personal significance. Not an easy feat. It's hard to beat well done DIY if you ask us.

If you're looking for a killer little venue for an intimate event, you need to check out Pallet 23.
