The Monastery

At The Monastery, Kyle and Courtney’s New York Times–featured black-tie celebration glowed with thousands of candles, moody romance, and timeless elegance.

Though based in New York, the two chose to celebrate their wedding in Courtney’s hometown of Cincinnati, bringing their guests into the dramatic beauty and historic charm of The Monastery.

Courtney wore a stunning champagne-toned gown that complemented the warm architectural tones of the venue so beautifully, creating a palette that felt rich, refined, and deeply romantic. Candlelight completely transformed the space, casting a soft glow across every moment of the evening and creating an atmosphere that felt intimate, cinematic, and incredibly timeless. Their stunning celebration was later featured in The New York Times, perfectly capturing the elevated and unforgettable spirit of the day.

“Having Olga photograph our wedding felt incredibly meaningful, especially after seeing the beautiful way she captured my sister Gwen’s wedding a few years earlier. We already trusted her completely, and she made the entire experience feel so natural, personal, and easy. She documented every moment with such artistry and emotion — capturing not only how everything looked, but exactly how it felt. Every image brings us right back to the joy, love, and emotion we shared with the people closest to us that day.”
