A beautiful day on Saturday with Matt & Jess as they wed at St. Celilia in Cinci. The church looked great, and Father Smith was such a kind, gentle old soul that made our job very easy. The reception was held at the Madison South in Covington. I love that place — great venue with great food and great service.

We finally got to work with the Rachel from Rocket Tree Photography. I say that somewhat tongue-in-cheek because of the conversations we had together about the business. It’s funny — in the wedding industry, you sometimes hear names dropped so often that you begin to elevate a person you haven’t even met to some sort of cult celebrity status! But Rachel was very much down-to-earth and easy to work with, and Annette and I really enjoyed getting to know her and Carrie. Should be fun to work with them more in the future!

Now a word about the REAL celebrities of the day — Matt & Jess! I really don’t think you could meet a sweeter couple! As we were still in the beginning stages with our business, Matt & Jess approached us about filming their wedding. I met with them in a little old Starbucks across from Kenwood Mall, and they eagerly jumped on board with us, without hesitation. I remember calling John immediately afterwards, telling him how this couple heard of us on some online message board called the Knot! (Little did we know the impact this “little website” would have on our business!) Since then, Jess has been a vocal endorser of 28Twenty, having thrown our name out to the scores of knotties across the Queen City and beyond. I so greatly appreciate her support of us and their belief in the quality of our work – I owe them a great deal, and I wish them the best in their new life together!
