Jenny and Patrick | Wedding @ Top of the Market, Dayton Ohio

On today’s episode of “How we spent our Labor Day Weekend” we bring you the wedding of Jenny and Patrick…..

We had the honor of traveling over to Dayton, Ohio for our most recent wedding to celebrate with Jenny and Patrick. We came to know Patrick last year when we photographed his sister Brooke’s wedding and we knew working with the family again would be awesome (and it was). It was also at Brooke’s wedding where we met the beautiful and care free Jenny who we instantly liked and knew would make a beautiful bride. Fast forward a full year and here we are bringing you their beautiful late summer wedding day held at Top of the Market in Dayton, Ohio. This was our first trip over to Dayton and we were able to check out the beautiful venue and surrounding areas. We started the morning with hair and makeup and enjoyed meeting Jenny’s family and bridesmaids. From there we headed to Top of the Market which hosted both the couples ceremony and reception. The venue is absolutely beautiful with a ton of options indoor and out for some great photography and we only wished we would have had the entire day just to shoot in the very unique building and surrounding areas. We documented some memorable first looks with the bride’s father, bridesmaids, and groom and from there headed to the first picture site where we were able to incorporate the large river fountains into the pictures (special thanks to the bridal party for braving the very hot and direct sun conditions, you guys were troopers). To obtain a more diversified look we headed back to the area around Top of the Market so we could complete our outdoor photos at an area with a little more shade and we love the unique look that the surrounding buildings and market gave to the photos. The venue staff was excellent to us along with the DJ Todd Moore who made sure we were always in the loop and communicated so well with us (thanks Todd!). We love working with quality vendors and even though we don’t always get a chance to talk with them much when the hectic wedding day unfolds we always want them to know we appreciate their hard work and working well with other vendors! The reception was absolutely beautiful and the dance floor was completely full. Jenny and Patrick had some great interactive games during the reception and there was plenty of activity to document. We had the awesome assistance of Josh who traveled over with us to Dayton to assist with Doug and Key-Films with the wedding video (that we will share with you soon!). We are so glad to have him help us out! We ended the night with a few night shots because the area was so unique and beautiful. The following morning after the wedding we headed out to shoot the engagement of Brittni and Dan which we will be sharing with you in the coming weeks! We had a really productive and awesome trip to Dayton and just enjoyed working with this couple so much! We are happy to be home now with our Charlie Key dog and bringing you this blog to enjoy. Congrats Jenny and Patrick!
