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.

Emma + Casey - Modern Centennial Barn Wedding - Cincinnati, Ohio
When we first met Casey, he was shy and reserved, but quickly realized that we were pushing him to speak up and to have a voice. We learned that he and Cameron share a common interest in men's fashion, that they (make an effort to) understand menswear trends, and that looking good is important. For their wedding, Casey had a custom tuxedo crafted by hand just for him. He knows his tailor by his first name. Emma even joked on the wedding day that his tux probably cost more than her dress. Emma got ready in their amazing mid century modern inspired house in Mount Adams, which they both worked hard to have ready for the wedding day. We called them the day before to run over a few last minute details, and Casey was drilling holes in the wall to hang a shelf. They were both working on making the day perfect until the very morning of the wedding. It was so cool to see it come together, and to see both of their tastes come through. And they have good taste. There are few things that inspire us more than a couple who both genuinely care about each other and their day.
Taylor + Greg - Brewmaster's Gate Wedding
Columbus, Ohio
We’re honestly not even sure where to begin with this wedding. Maybe we should jump right to the end... As we were leaving the reception, we told Taylor that this is the wedding we would have if we could do ours over again. Not just because of the incredible aesthetics, but because of the emotional depth and care given to every detail. Taylor + Greg are two of the most genuine people, and it’s clear by the friends and family they are surrounded by, that their hearts are big enough for everyone around them. You’ll see images throughout this wedding that showcase the love and sincerity that make Taylor and Greg who they are (like the unique, custom pins made with a phrase specific to each and every guest).
Now, speaking of the aesthetics, every little detail was absolutely expertly executed. Each detail was designed and hand made by either Taylor or her family and friends, in a masterclass in collaboration. They absolutely nailed each piece. Brewmaster’s Gate is an old, empty building in the Brewery District of Columbus. And importantly, it’s not a wedding venue. In fact, it’s unoccupied. The first time we saw the building, it was being used as a makeshift parking garage, and was dirty and raw. It’s an amazing, huge space surrounded by windows. Taylor saw the potential, and the blank slate of a building was filled with entire structures hand built out of corrugated, galvanized steel and natural wood elements. It was like our own personal aesthetic was somehow extracted from our brains and turned into a wedding theme. Clearly Taylor has impeccable taste.
The cool factor was on 11.
Megan + Paul - English Garden Wedding - Dayton Ohio
This one was special. These two are special.
Anne Marie + Connor // Columbus Ohio Backyard Wedding
These two. So laid back, so fun, and so friendly. There's just something really special about a casual outdoor wedding, and even better when it's held at the property of the bride's grandparents. The style and sophistication here is impeccable, and yet Anne Marie and Connor both had such a relaxed approach to their wedding, which we really loved. I mean, come on, food trucks are the best catering idea EVER. There were a few hiccups that they took in stride (like Connor not having his tie for the first look, which ended up happening at the edge of the driveway), never taking things too seriously or getting stressed. At the end of the day, it was just such a genuine celebration of who they are and the relationship that they share.
