Cincinnati Wedding Photographers | Union Terminal

Last Saturday I did something that I’ve never done before…that is to photograph a bride and a groom at the end of a rainbow. And as it turns out the rainbow ends at the Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal. Who knew? Scroll down to see the rainbow image and other great images. Also, on Saturday we had about 5 hours between the end of the ceremony and the start of the reception. We used this time to check out great Cincinnati locations including Spring Grove Cemetery and the Purple People Bridge. Special thanks to Andrea Howard of the Cincinnati Museum Center for accommodating all my special requests and my second photographer Niki Jahns for her assistance and photography.

How awesome are these shoes…

…and the earrings?

As it turns out, Nicole’s Getting ready hotel window faced the Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal. You can see it in the distance on right.

Walking down the aisle at St. Cecilia’s Parish.

Great intimate shot immediately after the wedding. Love these types of “real” captures.

First stop after the Formals at the Church was the Spring Grove Cemetery. Surprising enough, there were no other bridal parties there with us. Ordinarily, Spring Grove is three deep with bridal parties on wedding Saturdays.

Purple People Bridge right next to the Great American Ballpark (Reds Stadium).

The cross below is to satisfy the “something old” from the wedding saying , “Something old, something new, Something borrowed, something blue and a silver sixpence in her shoe.”

The aforementioned rainbow shot.

I always ask the couple as to how “artistic” they want their images to be. Luckily for me, Nicole and Adam, were up for anything that I suggested. Love the end results.

We brought the live photobooth with us to the reception. Luckily the Cincinnati Museum Center is a big enough venue that the photobooth is not very visible. You can actually see it in the dancing image above.

We love working with great vendors and on Saturday I once again worked with Jeff Hill of Jeff Hill Videography. Jeff followed my photography setups and suggested a few of his own. That’s what I call seamless partnership.

When I told Adam that the garter has to be removed without the use of hands, he took me up on the challenge. The interesting thing about this image when I first looked at it is how it appears that Adam’s head is gone, very similar to their headless wedding cake figurines below. Coincidence? You be the judge.

This was the shot that the great Jeff Hill suggested and I synced a couple of flashes together to get this great image.
