I just cannot say enough about this couple and this wedding. Allison and Mike are an incredible couple with incredible personalities and incredibly supportive families. In our conversations leading up to the wedding Allison was so excited to tell me about all the beautiful details of the wedding. Each detail was a clear reflection of their fun and lively personalities!
The wedding was held at the gorgeous St. Peter in Chains Cathedral located in downtown Cincinnati with the reception at Drees Pavilion in Covington, Kentucky. Both locations are amazing and you just cannot go wrong! I love a church that does not need anything to make it beautiful. The architecture is amazing in there! Drees is the same way. Between the huge windows overlooking a gorgeous patio and an incredible view of downtown it is a no brainer… MWAH!
Allison looked AMAZING! Her makeup was done by Zoe Cosmetics with her hair by Elizabeth Miller.

I walk up the stairs at Allison’s house…round the corner…to see this….. (in case any of you future bridies are wondering… the designer is ENZOANI) GORGEOUS!!!!!


Oh yeah girl… you are adorable!!!

Mike’s best man was on the job at the guys house! Don’t you love the BM’s hair?

In the meantime Allison was spraying on the final touches…

Allison and Mike decided to see each other before the wedding! I LOVE this… for this very reason… look at their faces! You cannot have this moment in a church at the top of the aisle… you just can’t beat this!




I just adored Allison’s bouquet… beautifully done by The Secret Garden!


Such a happy couple!!



Love this shot of ladies… I know it is hard to see in this shot but seriously, the BEST BM dresses ever… designer you say? Same as Allison’s dress. You have to visit that site!


After we had some fun in the country we headed to the big city!! Mike looks like a Skeffingtons Ad here! Which is great because that is where they got these gorgeous gray suits! They were so unique and smoooooooooth.

Yeah… they all looked pretty smoooooooth.



The girls knew they were workin’ it too!! (here is a closer look at the detail in the BM’s gowns!)



Off to the wedding!!!

Love these moments… Allison is a daddies girl and when I take these photos I always picture her grandchildren looking at it. I would love to have a photo like this of my mom and grandfather… I know, I’m mushy.

Allison’s face was so cute during the vows! Love it!

Outside the church after the ceremony… YEY! Married!!!

Needless to say, they were excited!


The reception was just beautiful with touches by Goodwin Lighting.

The cake was unbelievable!! Allison was so excited about it!

The rings…


Nemar from Maize Music always rocks it out… but to top it, HE LET ALLISON MIX! It was AWESOME! I laughed so hard I was barely able to take these shots! Her facial expressions were HILARIOUS!!!! HAHAHAHA! I will have this series in my studio!!!!

I could post so much more but this is already the longest post on earth.
If at any time I make a post and there are any future bridies want to know more about this wedding, leave a comment and either I or the bride will write you! And remember everyone, we LOVE your comments on our blog!!!!! Have a great Wednesday!!!!!
