Courtney + Misha ||Wedding, New Riff Distilling, OH

Misha and Courtney were such an amazing couple to work with! The love these two have for each other was front and center of every moment of their day. So many personal touches were included, it was such a joy to witness. One of my favorites moments were the ceremony and how Courtney was emotional. Check out the gorgeous pictures below!

HOW DID U MEET EACH OTHER:

We met a dating app called Bumble, November 2015

WHERE WAS YOUR FIRST DATE:

Our first date was at Jack Casino, downtown Cincinnati

HOW HE PROPOSED:

I had just finished my first year of grad school and we survived our first year living together. When I got home from Seton Hall, Courtney suggested that we go grab brunch this upcoming Saturday to celebrate these mini milestones. As the weekend was approaching, our friend Ashley B. reached out and suggested we get our nails done Saturday morning. This was not out of the norm since we meet up every few months to get our nails done and catch up. Once I got home from my mani/pedi, Courtney and I walked to Sleepy Bee Cafe in Oakley. While we were at the restaurant, he was acting weird and kept checking his phone. I was a little annoyed because we were supposed to be celebrating (I later found out he was texting the photographer that would capture the proposal). Well, we finally leave the restaurant and walk to Oakley Square. When we get to the square there was a card sitting there with my name on it. After I read the card, Courtney had me stand up and he got down on one knee to ask me to marry him. I froze momentarily, but eventually said, "YES!"
