Laura + Zachary: St. Antoninus Catholic Church Wedding Day, Cincinnati, Ohio

Zachary & Laura had an absolutely beautiful October wedding day and I’m so excited to share a few of my favorite photos from their big day with you today!

I started the day off by meeting Laura & her bridesmaids as they were finishing up getting ready. We took a few photos with their matching robes before Laura’s mom helped her get into her dress. Once she was ready, we brought in her bridesmaids for a little first look before heading out to meet Zachary and his groomsmen!

The entire bridal party met up at French Park for photos since this is the park that Zachary & Laura went to for their first date. Once we arrived, Zachary got to see his bride for the first time! This was the absolute sweetest moment and these are some of my favorite photos from the entire day. Zachary & Laura are completely made for one another and it’s so exciting to be able to photograph them together. Once we finished taking a few couples portraits, we invited the bridal party over to join us for some fun photos as well!

After finishing up with photos at the park, we headed to St. Antoninus Catholic Church for the ceremony and reception. Zachary & Laura’s ceremony was absolutely beautiful and it was so precious to witness their celebratory moment immediately after walking back down the aisle together married. This “just married” moment is one of my favorite things to try to capture on a wedding day, it’s so special and intimate and full of celebration for a newly married couple! After the ceremony, it was time to take a few family photos, but I’m saving those for Zachary and Laura to share with you!

After family photos, we headed down to the undercroft of St. Antoninus for the reception! Once the bridal party made their entrance, we had a delicious dinner before listening to the sweetest speeches. Zachary & Laura shared their first dance before dancing with their parents and cutting their cake. Laura tossed her bouquet and Zachary threw out a plush Super Star while Super Mario music played in the background. Such a fun twist to replace a garter toss! After some dancing, the night came to an end when Zachary and Laura ran out of their reception surrounded by all the people they loved. They made their getaway in a red Tesla and it was the best ending to an already incredible day! Everything about this day was so special and fun and it was such an honor to be able to capture it! Congratulations, again, Zachary and Laura!
