From the bride, Emily: “Zach and I met at a friends house back on Halloween night in 2015 at the University of Dayton. Later that evening, we met up at Timothy’s Bar and Grill dancing the night away closing down the bar. Zach walked me back to my house and asked for my number. We’ve been together ever since!”
“Zach made reservations for brunch at a local downtown Cincinnati eatery called Louvino’s. After eating, we took a walk around downtown towards Washington Park where Cincinnati Music Hall overlooks. Once there, right near the gazebo, Zach dropped to one knee and asked me to marry him. Zach and I went with a few friends to Rhinegeist Brewery to celebrate with a beer. Upon arriving at Rhinegeist, Both of our families were there to celebrate.”
Zach and Emily! I am so happy for you two!! You both radiate so much joy and love! You have a sweet group of friends and Im happy to see how well loved you are. It’s been a trying couple years and yet, your love grows stronger! I wish you two a lifetime of love and adventure!




Zach and Emily did their First Look at the Mission San Juan Capistrano. The Mission holds a special place in their hearts, especially for Emily as she grew up going to school there along with her sister. Their ceremony was held at the Mission Basilica that is adjacent to the Mission.

Tracy and Andrew had the sweetest, intimate wedding ceremony on the bluffs of Laguna Beach, overlooking the gorgeous coastline.
Tracy’s two daughters stood proudly by her side as bridesmaids, while Andrew’s two sons stood with him—making this beautiful day even more meaningful and special. 🥂
@ocbeachweddings brought the perfect touches for a coastal celebration, including parasols and fans for the guests, plus champagne for the bride and groom to cheers with. They made sure everything ran smoothly so Tracy and Andrew could simply soak in every moment of their beautiful day. ✨
