Too cute! A few of my favs from Melissa and Jeff’s killer wedding reception at the Clovernook Country Club in Cincinnati.

To happy Nadine and Ben, congratulations!

Nadine has the most interesting wedding dress story EVER!!! Her parents where married more than 30 years ago in Lebanon. That wedding dress was packed in a box and stashed in the attic of Nadine’s parents home in Beirut. Fast forward through a 15 year long civil war and the ransacking and looting of that home. Her family returned when it was safe and discovered the box with the wedding dress was one of the only things left undisturbed by the war. When Nadine got engaged she decided to have her mom’s dress remade for her own wedding. Check out her beautiful dress below! The top part is new and contemporary and the delicate skirt, it had two wedding days. Totally sweet! (Also see Nadine hugging her mom when she got to the end of the isle before she greets Ben at the alter. I’ve never seen any bride do this before at any of the weddings I’ve ever shot!)

Take a peek at the the photos from the zaffeh too! So much fun there! This is a great Lebanese tradition where the the bride and the groom are accompanied to their wedding (in this case reception) by their friends and family to music and drums. Hands down my favorite part of their wedding and along with the dabke (folk dance after the zaffeh parade!!

It’s always exciting when the photo Gods smile down from above. They were definitely smiling down on Emily and Jeff’s wedding day! Emily and Jeff had magical light, a magical location, and a magical day for their wedding! I’m always secretly keeping my fingers crossed for a sunny day (at least a part sunny day) and Fall is my favorite time of year here in the Midwest. It was a wonderful day for a wedding at Meadowview Farm in Union, Kentucky. Make sure to check out Emily’s gorgeous dress below, especially the back! Congrats Emily and Jeff!

Luscious purple wedding shoes~

LOVE this idea for a chilly fall evening!

Hands down one of the sweetest couples of the year! I can truly say that these two really belong together and were lucky enough to find each other. And Natalie, she’s stunning! And Cody, my 2 cents worth, he’ll be one of the best husbands ever (seriously mean it)! Cody and Natalie- lucky and blessed all the way! Thanks SO much for allowing me to get to know the two of you!

Wishing you both a Happy Ever After!
