Real Wedding - Julie & John 7.19.08

This had to be one of the hottest days of the summer. Truly, it was barely tolerable for Julie & John to grab a few outside photos. Once the sun went down though, it was a beautiful night. The ceremony took place at Julie's alma mater - St. Ursula Academy Chapel in Walnut Hills. The reception followed at the Bell Event Centre. Julie & John hired a rock star crew of vendors including April from Bluebird Photography, Courtenay Lambert and Nancy from Brideface. We had a great time at this wedding. It was a day full of joy and plenty of laughter!

Julie looks stunning in this photo.

You would never know such a gorgeous chapel was just inside these doors.

The aisle flowers by Courtenay Lambert smelled fantastic. Programs by Pink Ink.

Love the combintation of aqua and pinks.

Don't even ask how many candles there were in the room...

More gorgeousness (I'm not sure that is a word!) from Courtenay Lambert.

Menu cards & table numbers also by Pink Ink.

This is how Julie & John were all day/evening... laughing and enjoying themselves.

Love this photo.

Real Wedding - Andrea & Drew 5.3.08

After the whirlwind year CEP had last year, we are just now getting around to posting some of our images from last wedding season. Andrea & Drew were married at the gorgeous Episcopal Church of the Redeemer located in Hyde Park. The team of vendors included - Photosmith (photography), Make-up by Brideface, and Flowers by Cincinnati Urban Floral Design.

How cute are these little guys? All nephews of the bride & groom.

The whole bridal party in the courtyard of the church . Love the MOH dress!


Gorgeous Peonies!

Custom designed programs by the brilliant Kristen of Letterheads. Kristen also designed the couple's invitations and place cards.

The reception followed at the Hall of Mirrors at the Hilton in downtown Cincinnati.

The art deco design of the hotel made for some fabulous photos.

The stunning room. Goodwin provided the custom lighting.

Heavenly cake by Bonbonerie - it almost looks too good to eat!

One Bride, Three Boards

I met Nicole last week and it was clear she needed help creating a vision for April 2010 wedding. Based on her ideas, I came up with these three boards. Which one is your favorite?
