Unique + Original.

Ashton + Caleb are a such a special couple. United by their intense creativity and individuality, these two had many surprises up their sleeves for a memorable night. From the moment we met them, Ashton sparkled with ideas for their wedding day. A hint of purple here…a touch of green there, and maybe an entirely new dress for the first dance…or 2 new dresses….hmmmm… We knew this wedding would be beautiful…unique…one of a kind.
The day came and it was absolutely stunning. Caleb + Ashton prepared for the day, calm, happy, but all the while we could tell that they just could NOT wait to see each other. As all the details of their day came together and it was almost time for the ceremony, you could see her eyes light up. Ashton was ready to be the bride to her groom. After that long walk down the aisle, they exchanged their vows and became husband and wife.

To Ashton + Caleb:
Creative isn’t a great enough word to describe you two. We were amazed by the details you executed and the ease with which exude this chic quality. Thank you for letting us capture each special moment and every amazing detail. We know your marriage will be filled with amazing days and we’re so happy we got to be a part of your wedding day. Best of luck to you both!

Miami University in Oxford was the birthplace of Caitlin + Ethan’s relationship. Inside the beautiful and historic Upham Arch is where Ethan proposed to Caitlin…its also the location that Caitlin said yes. The incredible Kumler Chapel would serve as the ceremony location and then they where whisked away to the Shriver Center for an awesome reception. Both Caitlin + Ethan were very relaxed all day, even with the chance of rain in the forecast. Caitlin even decided to take a stroll early wedding day morning to look for an umbrella. The details had been put in place and the execution was happening flawlessly. Caitlin’s parents were giddy as they roamed from room to room in the hotel checking on everyone. Dad even made a lunch run to Jimmy John’s for the girls. You could tell everyone was excited and happy this wedding day was here. The rain came and went, but when it was show time…no rain, only sunshine peaking through the clouds. It was a perfect day for a wedding.

To Caitlin + Ethan:
Congratulations! Everything was awesome. We are honored to have captured your special day. You took great care of us (thank you for the snack bag…very sweet surprise). We wish you the very best and many years of what you shared on this day.

Lauren + Ryan were married in December on an amazingly COLD day. There was snow and ice on the ground but the entire bridal party were troopers and were willing to do anything for the beautiful bride and groom. Including walking in heels on treacherous ice just for some amazing shots!

Lauren + Ryan shared their intimate first look inside the church and you can just tell how in love this couple is. We shot beautiful film and photos before their ceremony and captured some sweet moments between the two of them.

The reception was held at The Crystal Room where it was beautifully decorated for the season. Lauren + Ryan are so sweet with each other and so in love that it was a lot of fun to be there to capture their day for them. We will share more of their wedding highlights soon, but first enjoy their trailer!

Lauren + Ryan we wish you all the love and happiness in the world and hope you have a wonderful marriage. Thank you for letting us be a part of your day.

Katie + Wayne got married on what turned out to be a beautiful November day. Anytime you can go outside the venue for pictures and film on a November day is amazing!

The day started with an sweet ceremony at Trinity United Methodist Church, amidst a packed room of family and friends. After exchanging their vows, and saying “I Do” they drove away from the ceremony in a classic style Ford Thunderbird. (We LOVE fun exits from the ceremony or reception!!)

At their gorgeous reception they danced, drank, ate and partied the night away, and they had an amazing candy bar for their guests to enjoy! We got to film Katie + Wayne’s wedding with some of our favorite vendors, and that always makes for a wonderful day all the way around.

Thank you so much for letting us be there on your special day! Stay sweet! Congratulations!

Stacey + Brian are a fantastic duo! Lighthearted, fun and never too serious, they had an amazing outdoor wedding at Polen Farm.

We LOVE shooting outside. Don’t get us wrong, there are some amazing features in churches and other indoor locations, but there is something to be said for pure nature. The leaves rustling in the breeze, the smell of the flowers and the amazing sunshine that brings everyone together. Stacey + Brian were blessed with a breathtaking day to say their vows, and a wonderful evening to get down and party!

After the beautiful gazebo ceremony, the reception was held inside in the barn on the grounds of Polen Farm, and if you’ve never seen it, you’ve got to check it out. The atmosphere just makes you feel like celebrating! And Stacey + Brian didn’t disappoint. They tore up the dance floor and celebrated their marriage. And we were so happy to be there to capture their wedding day!

You two were so much fun! We hope you carry that same fun with you throughout your marriage and we wish you all the best!

Melissa + Mike were so much fun! Current residents of Texas, they decided to have their wedding among family and friends back home in Ohio. What an intimate wedding for the two of them! Melissa is actually a teenage friend of Blue Canister’s Kelly, and she was so flattered that Melissa chose us to capture her amazing day.

Melissa + Mike were all about enjoying their wedding day with as many of their friends and family as possible. Melissa’s morning started with hair, makeup and a crazy good time with her bridesmaids, and that attitude transferred throughout their day.

We’ll say it again and again…WE LOVE when our brides and grooms choose to see each other before the ceremony. There’s just something about being able to spend a quiet moment with your almost husband or wife before you say your vows. Plus, it gives us a little breathing room for fun filming time before the ceremony begins! Melissa + Mike saw each other in the sanctuary of the church and were able to spend a quiet moment together.

THANK YOU for letting us capture your day. You two were so much fun and we can’t wait to share the rest of your film with you. We wish you all the happiness in the world and safe travels as you share your life together.

Carie + Todd

What an amazing couple. What an amazing day. These two were fun from the word go. Carie contacted us about filming her wedding and we just KNEW this was going to be awesome. She had such a fun-loving personality and so much style that we couldn’t wait for her and Todd’s wedding.

Carie and Todd got married on the grounds of The Manor House in Mason. Amidst a flourish of personal details, Carie and Todd said their vows in a beautiful, intimate ceremony. Then the party started. This couple was so excited just to get married, that the feeling carried over to everyone in attendance.

We had so much fun capturing your day and wish you a fun-filled, loving relationship and all the happiness in the world!

Megan + Timmy have a peanut butter and jelly relationship. Or salt and pepper. Or mac and cheese. You see what I’m saying? Megan + Timmy just go together, they fit. They were married at the Immaculate Conception Church with the ceremony following at Beavercreek Golf Club. The ceremony was beautiful with awesome detail. The church always gives an airy feel to it and on their wedding day it was no different. Megan wanted Timmy to have “that” reaction when he first saw her flow through those rear doors as she made her way down the aisle. Wow, did Timmy have a reaction. The majority of grooms get emotional at that moment. And that’s ok, it’s your wedding day. Timmy was overwhelmed by happiness and joy and amazement when he first laid eyes on Megan. It was an awesome reaction. The ceremony seemed very personal to Megan + Timmy as they sat in front. It was like they were the only ones in the room. We were able to get away from the festivities of the reception for a few moments and get some great shots of Megan + Timmy out on the golf course. The night involved some dancing and fun with family and friends. All through the night, Megan + Timmy were side by side, hand in hand. We wish them many years of happiness in a relationship that fits them so well. Congratulations Megan + Timmy!

Malika + Kendall have a heartwarming story. But before I get into that, their wedding was incredible. They started off with a quaint ceremony in a very personal church. It was a small church that made you feel at home as soon as you entered. Close family and friends packed the rows from front to back, all there to witness the joining of Malika + Kendall. As they exited the church an antique car was waiting to take them the Dayton Art Institute for their grand reception.

While guests enjoyed a live band and cocktail hour, Malika + Kendall, along with their hot bridal party, played around outside for some great photo and film session. Once the grand entrance was made, the couple sat down for a great dinner, followed by some touching toasts. Malika’s daughter had choreographed a special dance for them and she performed it in front of everyone. The live band kicked it up with an awesome sound. The dancing from this crowd was awesome. Everyone from 5 to 85 was out on the floor.

Now for their story. Malika + Kendall were good friends in high school. They grew up together, hung out together, did a lot together. Life took them there separate ways and led them on different paths. Fast forward some years and life has brought them back together to find that friendship and love they seemed to have always had for one another. They now know what is important in life…each other. If you are around Malika + Kendall for very long you can tell that this marriage is a partnership. We wish them many years of love, happiness and continuing the wonderful story life has written for them. Congratulations Malika + Kendall!
