Two Awesome Grooms Made This Miamisburg Ohio Wedding Great

This fantastic Dayton area wedding couple made up of two awesome grooms, hired me in 2021 to photograph their golf course home wedding. Due to the pandemic, they ended up splitting their wedding events into two. On a chilly day in late 2021, I photographed their wedding at grandma’s house.

A year later on a brutally cold day in 2022, their vow renewal and large reception took place at Magnolia Estate’s Rosewood Manor. The couple insisted on outdoor family photos, and I couldn’t have been happier with their decision. I prepped everyone and we ran outside, one group at a time, and captured dozens of cold but beautiful wedding group and family photos. Later in the evening, I was able to photograph these two at sunset in front of Rosewood Manor.

One great thing was the lady running the venue turned on the fountain for photos. Being that it was at the end of fall, I thought for sure it was off for the season. It was on for about 60 seconds, just long enough to get some fun shots of these two awesome grooms. The building is pretty, but at sunset, it shines. It is so white that the warm glow of the sunset sort of softens it. This is a good place for a wedding in the Dayton area.

Of all the wedding couples I have photographed, I see these two the most. I’ve seen one of them at the Dayton Pride Festival, out and about, and have been his mom as well. What a great family. Being an LGBTQ-friendly wedding photographer in Dayton is a point of pride. I am never more proud of my five-star reviews than when I receive one from a couple like this. I treat every couple the same, regardless of sexual orientation. Love is love.
