Steph and Justin : Cincinnati Wedding Photographer
Written byy: Kortnee on June 14, 2010
I have been rather excited to post Stephanie and Justin’s wedding! I was so in love with her dress, the location of the wedding and all the fabulous details! When I found out that Kristen and Rick from Tres Chic Event Planning and Courtenay Lambert Florals were on the job I was so excited!
The wedding and reception were both held at the French House, a gorgeous home built in the 1800′s. I have officially fell in love with this venue. We have photographed here before but every time we are back it gets better and better!
Stephanie got ready at the French House surrounded by all of her family and friends. Steph was a bridesmaid in a former wedding of ours (shout out to Ashley and Ryan!!) so we knew this wedding would be a blast!! She was so excited as the the hair and makeup were wrapping up and it was time to get on the dress!
Christian Louboutin wedding shoes! MWAH!
A gorgeous Jenny Packham dress. Wait until you see the back……
Summer Holmes ROCKED the makeup! Steph looked flawless and stayed that way ALL day long!
The moments of her mom and sister helping her get into the dress were just priceless….
My heart meeeeeeelts over this photo! Such perfect expressions of love.
Since everything was being held at one location it made it so easy to grab a bunch of detail shots even before Justin and Steph saw each other for the first time! Just posting these cupcake photos makes my mouth water! We were enjoying one at the end of the wedding reception and the frosting was built up so high Ted looked over laughing as I had a big glob of it on my nose! I can just see myself heading back into the reception like that!!
Check out the serious floral skills that belong to Courtenay Lambert! I sware, that lady outdoes herself every time!!!!
The wedding was held outdoors and the reception was mostly indoors with a tent set up outside for extra seating.
The first look!!!
Steph’s mom handmade this sweet little sign. I love this photo, you can see how proud she was!
We had so much fun running around taking photos and making fun memories before the ceremony! Check out this AMAZING home I ran into down the street from the French House! So classic! I think it fit their look to the T!
We headed downtown for a few shots and Ted noticed the “groom” sign! hahahaha!
All the sexy men….
It is so great to have such a festive group!
When we returned to the French House for the ceremony I had the chance to meet the little ring bearer! Isn’t he a doll?!?!?!?
Final preparations before the ceremony.
Off to get married!
I LOVE this photo.
How precious is this?!!??!!
The emotion was contagious….
Married!!!
This is definitely one of my fav’s!!!!!
The new husband and wife!
Told ya. The back is amazing huh???
The toasts were priceless!!
In the middle of the reception the light was INCREDIBLE! Thank you guys for allowing us to grab you for a few minutes of photos! I am sooooooo in love with these!!
A sweet moment….
The venue at night was just as gorgeous! Goodwin Lighting rocked it out!
I was SO proud to be shooting Steph and Justin’s wedding, and to top it off, I had two past Kortnee Kate brides there!! Aren’t my brides so cute??
Ok you two… there are SO many more photos coming! We adore you both and cannot wait to hear all about the honeymoon! I am so glad you have such fabulous memories of your wedding day!!
Happy Tuesday everyone! Thank you for stopping by and remember, WE LOVE YOUR COMMENTS!!!!!
