Joyous Summer Wedding


Courtney & Joe tied the knot July 29, 2023 at St. Francis de Sales in Cincinnati, OH with a beautiful Catholic ceremony surrounded by their friends & families.


We had such a beautiful summer day for their wedding with the most PERFECT weather for photos at one of my favorite parks, Ault! Starting the day off I met with Courtney & the ladies at their reception venue, Carnegie Center Tusculum, for detail and getting ready photos while my second shooter met the guys at the church for their getting ready photos. Lavender and coral were the main colors for the day and WOW did I love that color combo?!


They opted out of a first look so the first time Joe saw Courtney was when she was coming down the aisle. The ceremony was a full Catholic mass with the sweetest priest and afterwards we headed to Ault for some wedding party photos where we got to witness a proposal happening at the same time!


Afterwards we rode on the party bus, danced it up and headed to the reception for cocktail hr and reception. Dinner was food stations and was quickly followed by the formal dances, cake and then it was time to party their butts off. Such a fun, energetic crowd and we definitely had a lot of fun throughout the night.
