Emma & Matt

St. Cecelia Parish & The Cincinnati Club


Emma and Matthew tied the knot on July 12, 2025 at St. Cecelia on Madison Rd in Cincinnati, OH. We started the day over at The Hilton Netherland Plaza for getting ready photos, which, if you have never been I highly recommend checking them out. Everyone was in wonderful spirits when we arrived which is always a great sign!


From the hotel we hopped over to St. Cecelia Catholic Church for their full mass ceremony. I love a good Catholic wedding! After the ceremony Emma and Matt did a bubble exit and then hopped in the limo to drive around the block while we prepped for family photos. From there I hopped into the limo with them and the wedding party to snag a cute photo of the two of them! I learned that day that both of their parents had a photo exactly like the one we took which was so fun and special!


Group photos were at Ault Park, and we're SO happy the rain stopped before we went because WOW I'm floored with how cute everything turned out. They brought their dogs, Flynn and Gio for some photos and then after we were all sweaty, we headed over to the reception at The Cincinnati Club.


Greeted by gorgeous marble, murals and beautiful tablescapes we started our detail photos while they practiced their formal dances. Cocktail hour commenced and then the fun of the reception came along. I love receptions so much, there is so much life and emotion to capture between speeches, dances, the dance floor being open and fun group photos! They all partied the night away while we snacked on some donuts and coke with lime!
