Hannah and Eleu | Withrow Nautre Preserve and Rhinegeist Wedding

Blogging this wedding today in the freezing cold Cincinnati fall/winter, and DREAMING of our warm, beautiful weather of this early June day.

Withrow Nature Preserve has a special place in our hearts. It’s where Corey and I used to run cross country together in High school, where we had our first kisssss, and where we got engaged. When we did get engaged, I was convinced we would get married here. However my mother crushed those dreams pretty quickly when her guest list was like 90 people and Withrow holds maybe 100 total.

Anyways. Enough about me. Let’s get to Hannah and Eleu. Eleu and Hannah met in Hawaii, and he is from the big island (as is his family), so there were so many beautiful Hawaiian influences infused into this day.

We did photo and video for this day, here’s the video portion:

Katie’s Blooms KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK on this wedding day.

I dare you not to cry at this first look:

I really and truly love this little sequence of photos, their emotions are so beautiful and I love the celebration of their friends and family

We got to do some grounds on the gorgeous grounds of Withrow Nature Preserve…

and then it was onto Rhinegeist for the party:

That Rhinegeist rooftop never lets us down.

To start off the reception, Eleu’s cousin did a beautiful Hula dance and explained that it symbolized unity and two becoming one.

After some lovely speeches, it was time to PARTY.

If you haven’t caught on yet, Eleu is kind of an insanely amazing dancer… like so much fun. You know he had to lose that shirt in the middle of the dance floor.

Hannah and Eleu, we absolutely loved working with you and your beautiful families. We’re glad you’re nearby in Cincinnati now, and can’t wait to work with you again someday soon!
