Cincinnati Art Museum Wedding: Ben and Olivia’s Renaissance Garden Party

Ben and Olivia wanted a venue that held some of their favorite memories, and that offered a space to dive into the works of art they were so influenced by. 


Wedding party posing on museum steps with columns. The bride in a white gown holds flowers; bridesmaids wear colorful dresses. Sunny day mood.

When they chose to get married at The Cincinnati Art Museum I knew the assignment of these wedding photos: to document not just the day as it played out, but to create artful moments where the newlyweds feel like the artwork themselves. 


Bride in white dress holds a parasol and colorful bouquet, standing on grass by a stone wall and green bushes, creating a serene mood.


I wanted to incorporate as many artistic choices that I could - the white space surrounding the groom details...

extra play with light and shadows...


Two hands gently clasp beneath a floral painting with a gold frame. Wooden panel backdrop, romantic mood. One hand has a ring, the other a watch.

attentive composition (I mean, this image of Olivia?? Yeah sorry I just love it)...


Bride in lace gown and veil with floral hairpins gazes over shoulder. Framed painting of trees and sky in background. Elegant, serene mood.

...and curated low-light camera settings to ensure the couple would have images that captured not just what it looks like to roam amongst the Renaissance works, but to feel like they were right there all over again. 


Bride and groom embrace lovingly in wedding attire. Bride holds bouquet of red, pink, and white flowers. Warm, intimate setting.



This wedding was more than just moments unfolding, but felt more like an invitation to create something different alongside my couple—and an invitation I am eager to answer again in the future.
