We started the morning at Lytle Park Hotel, where Haley was surrounded by her closest friends and family.
The suite had this quiet hum of excitement—soft music playing, champagne in hand, and the sweetest anticipation in the air. There were emotional hugs, shared stories, and the kind of getting-ready energy that felt light and full of love. Her bridal party was all-in from the start, keeping things fun, easy, and so supportive as the day unfolded.
Once everyone was ready, we explored the hotel for bridal party photos. The natural light, refined architecture, and modern charm of the hotel gave us a beautiful backdrop to work with.
When it came time for portraits with Haley and Griffin, we stepped up to the rooftop—and let the moment breathe.
Their first look and time together felt effortless. They’re the kind of couple who naturally fall into rhythm with each other—laughing, hugging, stealing little moments like no one else is watching. It was all so natural and warm, the kind of connection that doesn’t need any prompting.
From there, we made our way to Drees Pavilion, where the indoor ceremony was set against elegant details and filled with loved ones ready to celebrate. The space was intimate and inviting—perfect for the emotion of the vows and the joy that followed. There were happy tears, heartfelt words, and that quiet kind of awe that fills the room when two people are truly meant to be together.
After the ceremony, we stepped out for portraits overlooking the Cincinnati skyline.
The view gave us the perfect moment to pause, breathe, and soak it all in. With the city behind them and just a hint of breeze in the air, Haley and Griffin had that unmistakable newlywed glow. The skyline was a quiet backdrop—but their connection? That was the focus.
As the sun began to dip lower, the party moved inside for a reception full of energy and love. From touching toasts to a packed dance floor, every moment felt vibrant and celebratory.
Haley and Griffin moved through the night with so much presence—laughing with friends, hugging family, and sneaking glances at one another like they were still on the rooftop, just the two of them.
It was a day filled with the kind of love you can feel in the small moments. Haley and Griffin, your sweet, candid joy was the heart of this day—and it was such an honor to witness your beginning.
