{ Meagan + Nick } Oct. 2011 Wedding

Beautiful fall day at Niederman Family Farm - perfect for a wedding! Check out Meagan + Nick's wedding montage. One of my favorite songs ever! They had so many unique, cool details for their farm/barn wedding in Ohio. Enjoy!

{ Trena + Kevin } Oct. 2011 Wedding

Another gorgeous fall wedding from Cincinnati Wedding Photographers, Gardner Photography & Design! Ceremony and reception were held at Aston Oaks in North Bend, Ohio. What a great place for a fall wedding! The country club motif was leaves - they are on the walls, stamped in the cement, used in furniture. I love leaves, so I noticed them right away!

Kevin and Trena saw each other before their ceremony - which meant LOTS of time for photos around the golf course with the wedding party. We took out several carts and had a blast. And got some gorgeous photos with the beautiful fall colors.

Enjoy their wedding montage!

eSession Ideas { Devou Park }

So far, we've looked at Ault Park, Glenwood Gardens and Cincinnati Music Hall.  It's times to cross the river and check out a great park in Kentucky....and another free location to do engagement (and wedding) photos in Cincinnati.

DEVOU PARK

Located in the hills overlooking Covington, Kentucky, Devou Park offers a range of entertainment and recreational activities including theater, symphony, nature trails, golf, tennis, picnic facilities, fishing, Behringer-Crawford Museum and the newly constructed Drees Pavilion.  When most people say they are doing photos at Devou Park - they mean Drees Pavilion, with its breathtaking view of downtown Cincinnati (one of the best in the city).

 

Beyond the amazing view, is there anything else....?  Yes - there's some nice grassy areas with large trees and shade.  There are some benches and flowers - and more flowers in front of the building.  There is also a little gazebo - which works well on very sunny days.

 

Devou Park can be like Ault Park - a very busy place on a Saturday during wedding season!  You may have to wait to do photos in certain spots, since other wedding parties will be there.  You may also get asked to leave the gazebo area - the bride who has Drees Pavilion booked for her event obviously takes priority.  Hopefully, HER photographer is nice about asking you to leave, so they can do photos (not always the case).

Video Montage { Diana & Jay }

Diana and Jay had their wedding at one of my favorite venues - the beautiful Oscar Event Center in Fairfield, OH!  This gorgeous venue is located at one of my favorite grocery stores - Jungle Jim's!

When I first spoke to Diana, she told me about the Oscar Center.  Before we even booked her, I drove up and did a site visit (and a little shopping at JJ's).  We got lucky and the Oscar was open.  So, we went in, looked around and fell in love!

There are so many very cool details at this place - from the large chandelier that looks like a bunch of grapes to the wall sconces that are bottles of wine/Champagne.  Even the bathrooms have multiple photo opportunities.

We started with photos at Diana's salon in Fairfield and then returned to her house, so everyone could get dressed - and I could do make-up!  Then, the limo arrived, and we headed for Sharon Woods.  The ceremony was held at the Sharonville United Methodist Church with the reception at the fabulous Oscar Event Center.

Enjoy!
