CEP on the Chenese Bean blog | Cincinnati Wedding + Event Planning

Chenese recently did our make-up for our photoshoot with Tine last week. She featured us on her blog today. It's been a long time since I've had my make-up done and Chenese did an amazing job! Visit her blog here.

tiffany + dan = married | Real Weddings Cincinnati, Ohio

I thought it was only on you tube, but I have now seen it in person. Tiffany and Dan wowed their guests at the Manor House with a choreographed first dance routine. When I heard David Bowe's "Magic Dance" start playing I was so excited. The song is from my all time favorite movie, Labyrinth. So you can imagine my excitement when I saw Tiffany, the oh so quiet bride, break into dance. It was awesome, wish I would have had a video camera. The wedding and reception took on a classy, chic, nature ambience. Tiffany looked stunning in her fitted gown, with Dan standing proud in all white. A great day, and her dad made me laugh a lot too. Who doesn't love a funny family. Congratulations on your wedding.

There is something so retro yet classic about this image by Neysa Ruhl. She looks positively smitten, right? I love all the images from this couple's wedding. Check out Neysa's blog for more.

cynthia + eric = happy anniversary

Two years and two days ago one of my favorite brides married a pretty fantastic man. Cynthia's approach to the wedding was laid-back. She wanted all of her guests to have a good time but didn't fret over details that weren't important to her + eric. However, she put some amazing personal touches into the decor - including growing her own centerpieces. the overall feel was a retro fifties garden party with style. Check out more details on cynthia + eric's client page here.

Happy anniversary Cynthia + Eric!!!

melissa + jeremy = happy anniversary

Wow. Three years (and a day). I can't believe it. It was a beautiful summer day + gorgeous dress (that barely fit in the car!) + gorgeous flowers + gorgeous couple.

Three years, one little guy and one more due in just under a week. You two are a wonderful couple - love you both!

happy anniversary!
