Wedding Today!

We have a wedding this fine holiday weekend.  It will start out at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Batavia.  The reception will be held at Pattison Park in Owensville.  Both are new venues for us, so I can't wait to check them out!  Look for some photos to follow soon.  Congrats to Joe & Kelly!  And Happy Memorial Day to all!

Something's Fishy - But it's a GOOD Thing!

For a long time, I've wanted to add a Fisheye lens to my arsenal - and today was the day!  I ordered the full frame Canon 15mm FE and will have it before the weekend.  I've got two weddings this weekend, and I plan to have some fun with this FUN lens.  One wedding is in a gorgeous church - the kind that is perfect for some fishy goodness.  Look for photos coming soon!

{ VENUE } The Plantation Club at Twin Oaks

The Plantation Club at Twin Oaks

This past Saturday, we had a great day in Kentucky.  Pre-wedding photos started at Devou Park.  The ceremony was at Blessed Sacrament in Ft. Mitchell.  It's a beautiful Catholic church!

The reception was at The Plantation Club at Twin Oaks.  It's located in Covington at E. 43rd and Michigan.

I've never been to this venue before, so I had no idea what to expect. 

First off, the food is excellent. I was lucky enough to try some - in fact, the fabulous staff there offered to pack some up for me to take home (which has NEVER happened before). And speaking of the staff - super friendly, professional, etc. They did a great job with everything.

 

The layout worked very well for a reception, too - with the buffet out of the main room but close by. There was some self-serve drinks (water, soda, beer), so you weren't waiting in line at the bar all the time. It just all worked really well - an efficient flow!

 

We were able to get some great photos, too - by the pond and fountain, on the greens, in front with the main entrance (see photo above), etc.

 

In summary - I would definitely recommend Twin Oaks to couples looking for a reception venue. It has a lot to offer, and they do a fabulous job!  Check them out - and we hope we'll be back there soon.
