I was so fortunate to photograph the wedding of my very good friends Christopher and Julie.  Julie and I both attended the University of Cincinnati together and she is originally from Cincinnati, so it was only fitting that the wedding was held there.  The georgeous rehearsal dinner was held at the Scarlett Oaks Mansion in Clifton near the University.
