The story of Hannah and Brian is a really unique and full-circle one. I’m so honored to have been the one to capture it. Their wedding was held at The Phoenix in downtown Cincinnati, the perfect location for their elegant and classic taste.
Hannah and Brian met at a wedding, where Brian was the Best Man, and Hannah was a bridesmaid. Talk about a full-circle moment!
We started off the day with some detailed photos that featured all of Hannah and Brian’s perfectly curated details and accessories. Hannah chose navy blue chunky heels as her something blue, and their invitation suit was so thoughtful. Brian got ready, and Hannah got dressed and shared a first look with her dad, which was so precious. After our couple was ready for the big day, they shared their first look. As soon as they laid eyes on each other, you could just feel the love and excitement. It was clear that this was going to be one for the books!
We loaded the bus and headed out to Sawyer Point, one of Cincinnati’s riverfront parks, for some photos. The weather wasn’t exactly on our side – it was chilly and a little rainy – but that didn’t stop us from having a great time. The bridal party laughed and joked around together, and we got some seriously stunning shots in the process.
After working with the group, we spent some time with just Hannah and Brian for some portraits and they are just dreamy. I love these photos of them together.
When we arrived for the ceremony, I just drooled over the staircases at The Phoenix! This venue is elegant and charming, with just the right amount of old-school charm to make you feel like you stepped into a bygone era.
After a beautiful ceremony, Hannah and Brian did a room reveal in the Grand Ballroom. It was really special to capture their reactions to seeing the reception space for the first time. They even shared a private dance on the dance floor.
After entrances and a toast from the Matron of Honor and Best Man (whose wedding Hannah and Brian met at), the reception officially began! The speeches were heartfelt, the food was delicious, and the guests were ready to party. It was one of those weddings where you could feel the love in the air, and everyone was there to celebrate the newlyweds!
Throughout the day, I couldn’t help but feel grateful to have been a part of such an incredible celebration. This was one of those weddings that will stay with me forever, and I know that Hannah and Brian will cherish these memories for years to come.
Here’s to the newlyweds – may your love continue to shine as brightly as it did on your wedding day. Thank you for letting me be part of it!
