Katie looked amazing. From the first day I met her I could not wait to see her as a bride! I knew that the day would be super chill, everyone would be super friendly and welcoming and their would be lots of animals. :) And I was totally on the money! That is just who they are. Katie and Kevin are down to earth, really happy and love the people around them. They both love the country and grew up surrounded by animals and nature. I was TOTALLY in heaven on the wedding day! I got to pet dogs and horses! Then, when we arrived at the chapel, a deer went sprinting across the front lawn! We joked that it was a day at the zoo! :)

When I arrived at Katie’s parents home, it was time to put on the dress!! It was a squeeze but we got it! :)

I hope I am getting this right, but I am 90% sure that Katie’s mom made the necklace she wore that day. Gorgeous!

Katie Elfers rocked the house with the flowers!!!

While I was with the ladies photographing their final preparations, Ted went over to see what Kevin was up to!

On the way to meet Kevin and the guys, the girls and I dropped by Katie’s grandmothers farm for a few shots. The two horses there were HILARIOUS. From the minute we got out of the limo they were at the edge of the gate, leaning over and begging for attention! Look at these two characters!

No matter where we went, there they were! This photo would not have normally made it on the blog ONLY because the wind came and blew Katie’s bangs in front of her eyes. BUT I HAD to make an exception due to the absolute HILARIOUSNESS of what is going on behind them! Look at that horse SMILING at the camera and the other one looking right at me as if he knows what is going on! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Seriously!! That is one for the record books!!

How could you not love these guys?? :)

The first look…..the cutest moment ever……

The gorgeous couple….

HELLLLOOOOOOOOO beautifulness!

There were a few showers that day that made us have to hide in the cars here and there until it stopped! I have to say that I was a little thankful for it as it made a cool ring shot. :)

They were married at Kumler Chapel up in Oxford. It is gorgeous!


Mom was a little overcome by watching her daughter come down the aisle!

I love the moment between the bride and groom just as they exit the sanctuary and celebrate the first few moments of being husband and wife…. :)

On the way to the reception we stopped off at a random farm for some more photos!! I was having so much fun shooting here with them! I mean look at these two. Who wouldn’t be???

This could be my fav.

When we arrived at the reception Ted went nuts shooting details! He’s so good. :)

Their first dance was so sweet! Kevin being silly and Katie laughing at him! Perfect! :)

I am pretty sure “Cuz if you liked it than you should have put a ring on it” was on and I was probably doing my little dance I always do to that song and Katie was joining in on it! I love this! :) Thank girl!

I just love our couples. I know I say that a lot but it really is true. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that if you desire to hire us, you have to love having fun so that might have something to do with it! :) All day, Katie was super chill and ready for anything. From my wedding experience, when a bride is relaxed and having fun, so is everyone else. It is kinda like, “If mama ain’t’ happy ain’t nobody happy.” :) So for all your future brides, just remember, come rain or come shine, come any wedding day glitches or stresses, just remember to that at the end of the day what will be most important are all the memories you make with your hubby. Make em’ good because it goes so fast. :) Ted and I will be married 10 years in December and on our wedding day I spent way to much time feeling stressed! Right Ted? Don’t answer that. :)

Ok, this shall be then end of the Tuesday installment of the ramblings of Kortnee Kate. Have a great one everybody! :)

Stephanie and Ryan: Cincinnati Wedding Photographer

Stephanie and Ryan are super in love. No really, I am not sure that I have seen a more excited bride in all my years of shooting weddings!! Stephanie is a ball of energy and spent her entire wedding day on cloud nine. Those two were so ready to marry each other and that just makes for a really fun wedding day!!

Before each of our weddings I spend time talking to the bride about their wedding day. Stephanie and I had spent time talking about all of the fun details as well as the schedule for the day and much much more. At the end of the conversation she let out a sigh and said, “We just feel like we are little kids waiting for Christmas!” I love it!

When I came to photograph Stephanie getting ready, she was all smiles from the first click of the shutter. :)

A gorgeous dress and an old Trolley Car, perfect! There are so many perks to having your wedding at the Cincinnati Museum Center!

The first look…. it was so awesome! Future brides, no worries about any “moment” being ruined if you decide to see each other before the wedding!! Just look at those faces!! :)

Stephanie’s energy is contagious! I promise you she had this smile on the entire day!!

This might be my fav. :)

We had to head back to the old trolley car! All day when a photo would have them really close Stephanie would say, “It is soooooo hard to be this close to you and not kiss ya!” I just love how much they love. :)

One last kiss on some random green couches before running off to get married!!! :)

What a sweet moment! She was solid until the end of the aisle and then she lost it! :)

Married!!!!

YEY! Time to celebrate! :)

Their first dance as husband and wife. :)

What is it about dancing with your dad that just makes you loose it?? She had a more than a few people grabbing for tissues before this dance was over!!

Beautiful classic rings in classic bird seed. :)

And their off!!!! I told ya, Stephanie had this smile the entire day!!! :)

Thank you for allowing Ted and me to be a part of your big day! You both made the day so fun and so chill, it was awesome! Congrats to you both!!!

Remember, we love your comments!!!!!!! :)

Man this engagement session was fun!! Charlie and Maggie live in Cleveland and booked over the phone so this was the first time we met in person. When I walked into the Starbucks in Oxford I was blown away by their absolute gorgeousness! Now only are they gorgeous on the outside but after a couple of hours dodging the rain, jumping through fields of yellow flowers and trespassing on the RADDEST little piece of land, I got to know them and their beautiful insides. :)

Maggie and Charlie’s wedding is right around the corner! We are so ready to head up to Cleveland and document their once in a lifetime big day! Can you even imagine Maggie as a bride?? I mean, SERIOUSLY.

SO CUTE!!

I couldn’t resist the yummy sign. :)

I just love when people park their cool cars on the same road I am shooting on. That is so nice of them.

Oh HELLLLLLLLLOOOOOOO gorgeous!

I could not believe when I stumbled upon this AMAZING field of yellow flowers! I LOVE THESE PHOTOS!!

Happiness…. :)

I need this photo in my studio. Yesterday.

This is the amazing location we trespassed on. I think it was worth it eh?

Perfect!

We will see you next month for your fabulous wedding day!!!!!
