As a Destination Wedding Photographer and Cincinnati Wedding Photographer, I’ve had the privilege of capturing many unique love stories. But some weddings stand out, not just for their beauty but for the sense of nostalgia they evoke. September of 2022, I had the honor of photographing a wedding at Ault Park in Cincinnati, Ohio, on a rainy and cloudy day that added an extra layer of romance to an already unforgettable event.
The bride’s ensemble was a masterpiece of sentimentality and style. Her delicate white lace gloves, crafted from her mother’s wedding dress, were a touching nod to her family’s legacy of love. These gloves, imbued with history, perfectly complemented her sophisticated gown, creating a look that felt like a modern tribute to classic elegance.
Adding to the timeless vibe, the bridesmaids wore stunning emerald green gowns, their elegance matching the serene beauty of the park. Together, they created a scene that felt like it had been plucked from a bygone era, their grace and charm illuminating the cloudy day.
Before the ceremony, the couple shared a heartfelt first look at Dear Restaurant, a cozy and intimate spot that offered a warm contrast to the chilly weather outside. Their Golden Retriever, Happy, joined them for this special moment, adding a layer of joy and authenticity that only a beloved pet can bring. Watching Happy’s excitement was a reminder of the simple, unconditional love that unites families.
The ceremony at Ault Park was nothing short of enchanting. Surrounded by lush greenery and timeless architecture, the couple exchanged vows under a soft drizzle, with each raindrop adding to the romance of the day. As their photographer, I worked quickly during the brief breaks in the rain, capturing their stolen glances, tender touches, and laughter. The unpredictable weather didn’t dampen their spirits—it became part of their story, a testament to their resilience and love.
For me, photography is about capturing more than just moments. It’s about preserving emotions, connections, and the beauty of love in its rawest form. This Cincinnati wedding was a celebration of timeless love, and it was an honor to document it.
