engagement photos

Here are a few engagement pictures I took over the weekend. Great weather, fun locations, cute couples!

Anne and Peter

Anne and Peter married on Saturday. The ceremony took place at St. Rose, a lovely church near the river. A beautiful warm light shines through the gorgeous stained glass windows and there is no other way to describe it but radiant. We started pictures at Anne's parents house and were sure to get a picture of the bride and the bridesmaids on the staircase. We were told it was built for Anne's wedding day. We don't know if that is true, but the grand staircase was perfect for the occasion. After the ceremony we went to P&G pavillion for a few pictures with the wedding party and then headed to the Taft for the reception. As always, the Taft was elegantly decorated. The flowers were done by Robin Wood Flowers, the lighting by Goodwin Lighting, the draping by Scott at Entertainment Unlimited Events. The food was presented with the artistic flair of Jeff Thomas Catering. It looked delicious. Brigid from I-do weddings coordinated the event and Airwave provided the musical entertainment for the evening. To see more pictures from this event, go to From the wedding of Anne and Peter.

Poe and Chris

Poe and Chris got married on the 24th. There were April showers throughout the day. I've heard it is good luck to have rain on your wedding day, so these two got a plentiful share of luck! Poe had beautiful blue hydrangeas for her bridesmaids' bouquets and lillies and roses in hers. The flowers were done by Affordable Wedding Creations in Covington. They looked absolutely fabulous! Poe wore a vintage silk dress that 9 other women in her family had worn. She had it altered slightly, removing the sleeves to create a contemporary feeling. The ceremony was held at St. Thomas Episcopal in Terrace Park and the reception was at Cincinnati Country Club. The Mistics played throughout the reception and they really got the crowd up and dancing. They were so engaging to watch and sounded great. Here are a few pics from Saturday.
