Nicole + Andy // Winter Wedding at the Madison // Cincinnati
These guys are so rad. It's pretty obvious. Their apartment overlooking the city is incredible, and their love for each other and their families is contagious. We had so much fun, and count these two as friends.
Shannon + Brad // Cincinnati Wedding
Where do I even start with these two? I don't know if we've ever had a couple that was more excited about having us as their photographers. We were never "just another vendor," we truly were guests at their wedding. Love these guys.
This was probably one of the coolest things I've seen at a wedding. Scot and Tara didn't get a first dance at their own wedding a few years ago, so Shannon and Brad stepped aside and surprised them with a special dance to honor their best friends. It was so emotional, and a real testament to how selfless Shannon and Brad are.
Then they did the same thing for Brad's parents. Wow.

Anson + David // Cincinnati Wedding Photography
Cincinnati is becoming one of our favorite cities to shoot in. It's full of character and great little nooks for photos. Back in March we shot Anson + David's engagement session and we recently had the privilege of photographing their wedding in Cincinnati. We started off at Anson's parents' historic home, and ended the night at the beautiful 20th Century Theater.

Brittany + Ben :: Kentucky Wedding Photography
If we had a “Wedding of the Year” award, Brittany and Ben’s beautiful Kentucky wedding would be one of the front runners, for sure. They chose to get married at the Immanuel Baptist Church in Paducah, Kentucky, despite the fact that Brittany’s dad is a pastor at a church less than 20 miles away. It’s not hard to see why! Immanuel is one of the biggest, most beautiful southern churches I’ve had the pleasure of seeing. Luckily, her dad’s church made a great reception location!
Brittany has been a friend of Mindy and myself since back when we all attended Cedarville. She’s just one of those special girls that makes friends with everyone she meets. She’s so grounded in her faith, but knows how to have a good time. She’s a woman that I really respect, and so we had some reservations about Ben. We met him at the rehearsal on Friday night, and it took about 30 seconds to dispel those feelings. His dad said (during his toast) that Ben has never met a stranger. He’s a magnetic person, and people are just drawn to him. We could tell that Brittany and Ben were perfect for each other when we realized that they each had ten (10!) bridesmaids and groomsmen, and then Ben had another four ushers.
The best part about their wedding was their focus on getting great photography. Brittany and I worked together to build a wedding day schedule that allowed for flexibility and quite simply a lot of time. Mindy and I love to work closely with our couples to create a schedule that really allows us the time to capture work that we’re proud of and that will hopefully blow you away. We started with their First Look and then quickly wrapped up formal family portraits. Then we all headed out to downtown Paducah for over 2 hours of bridal and party portraits. We honestly couldn’t have asked for anything better.
Let’s get to it. Check out that sanctuary and the huge bridal party!

Speaking of videographers… I thought you’d all like to see the highlights video they put together for Brittany and Ben. LifeStage Films was wonderful to work with, and we’d highly recommend them if you’re looking for a little more than a typical wedding video. Not much I can say other than check out the work!
