Alex + Jessica || Wedding at Blackstage Event Center, Cincinnati

I have ADORED working with Alex and Jessica. Jessica is just about the sweetest woman you’ll ever meet.

Before the ceremony, Jessica had a first look with Alex, one of my favorite moments on a wedding day! It was a perfect sunny day and the wind helped a lot to create breathtaking photos. Their ceremony was perfect and the Black Stage Event Center was just the right size for their guests. Did I tell you that I ADORE small intimate weddings?

Alex & Jessica's reception was an absolute blast! It was a nonstop party. I had SUCH a great time with these two, and feel completely blessed to have gotten to work with this wonderful couple and their beautiful families! Alex & Jessica, thank you so much for choosing me to be a small part of your amazing day! Congratulations on your beautiful marriage!

HOW HE PROPOSED:

We were on vacation in Traverse City, Michigan and were biking through wine country on the Old Mission peninsula. Alex had done prior research on a particular winery that had a walking path through the vines. When we were all alone in the middle of the vineyard, Alex popped the question

HOW DID U MEET EACH OTHER:

We initially met during our teenage years through our church Youth Group. We later crossed paths again through mutual friends, and when the timing was right, Alex pursued me and we hit it off!

WHERE WAS YOUR FIRST DATE:

Cincinnati Red's baseball game.

Enjoy some of my favorites from their wedding day!
