Emily and Noah first met while Noah was preparing for his PhD at John Hopkins University. The two fell in love while taking walks, doing imitations, and traveling. One day as they were enjoying the Presidents Garden at John Hopkins, Noah held a box with a gorgeous ring inside, opened it, and asked Emily to be his bride. Their love has only grown stronger, and now they are officially Dr. & Mrs. Cincinnati!

Emily’s Maggie Sottero bridal gown was absolutely stunning on her as well as the beautiful florals provided by Designs by Linda.

Lisa and Lindsey of Duette Hair & Makeup Design did a fabulous job bringing out Emily’s natural beauty with their hair and makeup styling.

I love the soft summery feel of the colors, florals, and Amsale dresses that Emily’s bridesmaid’s wore.

Noah and the other men looked sharp in their JoS. A. Bank Clothiers suits.

Noah and his groomsmen spent some time hanging out in the Nassau Inn bar, enjoying some down time.

Noah gave each of his groomsmen a different bowtie that suited their personalities.

Emily & Noah chose to have a First Look before the ceremony. So we chose a romantic and quiet spot for them to see each other for the first time on their wedding day.

Ah! I just love the look on a Noah’s face as he sees his gorgeous bride.

Emily and Noah spend a few special moments together. It is their first moments together, uninterrupted, on their wedding day.

We walked around downtown Princeton, to some of their favorite hang out locations as we photographed this beautiful couple.

These two are so sweet together.

One of the places they like to go together is Winberie’s Restaurant and Bar.

…so naturally we could not resist paying a visit.

Emily brought out her creativity and craftiness by putting together these diy wedding day signs.

I almost died over these programs, looove it!

Mason jars hung at the end of each aisle holding gorgeous bouquets.

Just before walking down the aisle, Emily and her father shared this special moment.

Noah could not wait for Emily to become his wife.

and its official!

We had a few minutes before the reception to capture Emily & Noah as husband and wife in this gorgeous light over the golf course at Greenacres Country Club.

Emily’s attention to detail, creativity, and gorgeous taste left her fabulous mark on all the details of the wedding.

Chez Alice Cafe provided the delicious cake.

They shared their first dance together as husband and wife at their beautiful venue, the Greenacres Country Club.

Noah’s best man and childhood friend, Dale, began the toasting…

Emily’s sister and Matron-of-honor, Sarah, shared that special bond of sisterhood. I love how she evoked so many emotions as she concluded the toasts.

Mark Eliasof and Elegant Ensembles got the party started and kept it going all night. What a talented group of musicians!

As the night went on the rain came down. We asked Emily & Noah if they would like to brave the rain for one last photograph. Naturally they were reluctant at first, but when we showed them a test shot we took earlier (with me under the umbrella) they did not hesitate at all. I’d say it was worth it.
