Leisa and Christian: the wedding

Leisa and Christian: the wedding

Leisa and Christian are both such giving people and when they decide to do something, they lead with their hearts. This is just one of the many things that I love about this couple. They got married at the Cincinnati Nature Center's Krippendorf Lodge - I love this location!

Christian and Leisa designed their own inviations and stationary for the wedding. I loved the unique designs and how it set the mood for the wedding day ...

Leisa's dress was stunning ...

A gift from her mom ...

Leisa's sister watching her put her makeup on ...

Leisa was so anxious/excited about the wedding her hands were shaking - so, her sister stepped in and helped Leisa with her eyelashes.

getting the dress on ...

Leisa's dad was trying to keep the atmosphere less serious - I believe it was so that he didn't break down and cry. He is very close to his girls.

Christian and his son before the ceremony ... they have a great relationship.

While I had them alone, we took advantage of the time and got some photos of the two of them ...

the ceremony starts ...

they had cocktail hour in front of the Lodge ...

a few speeches ...

and then it was dance time ...

in light of Halloween, they had a tarot card reader there to read to people ... I thought it was a great touch and the guests LOVED it!

Here is the couple getting their cards read ...

Leisa and Christian, I wish you both a lifetime of happiness!!! Congratulations and I can't wait to see you this spring!!!
