Calvin + Nicole | The Monastery Wedding Photography

Calvin and Nicole’s sweet, heartfelt, fun day was such a joy to photograph. These two are so deeply in love and such a joy to be around! We loved photographing their Cincinnati wedding at The Monastery, one of our favorite venues in the city. It looks amazing all year long, as this February wedding proves!

You may recognize that maid of honor from another one of our weddings! Megan and Dan got married last year at French Park with the sweetest backyard reception. Check out their wedding on this blog post over here. It is always so much fun to get to photograph people again and again and see friends at other weddings! 

These two had the sweetest first look on The Monastery front steps!

Then we got to sneak back inside for some portraits. LOVE those classic Monastery lights, we love to photograph them again and again! 

We also got to run around Mount Adams for a bit to take some portraits around town. Mount Adams is always such a fun place to explore, and it was cool to play with the midday winter light. I love these portraits, and these two were such troopers. Nicole is in a STRAPLESS dress! 

I always love that first photo after the wedding ceremony- especially this one:

Calvin and Nicole have such sweet parents, and they included them in their first dance! This is such a sweet way to honor your parent’s love and commitment, I love it! It was such a joy to watch Nicole and Calvin with their parents all day, it was so clear that those relationships are so important to them. 

There are so many amazing, hilarious dance phtoos from this night, I could go on and on.

And a beautiful sparkler exit to end the evening!
