Reception: Hilton Garden Inn, Blue Ash, OH

I had a great time shooting Jenna and Ryan’s nuptials in Cincinnati last month. We were lucky to get great weather, which was fantastic given that Cincinnati had had its wettest May ever or something. Jenna, Ryan and their friends and family were a brilliant crowd to work with and I really appreciated their fun and playful approach to the day, as well as the cold beer! Cheers guys!
