Tatyana and Josh’s spring Manor House Banquet Center wedding in Mason, Ohio was the absolute best! Zach and I positively adore these two and had a blast with them during their engagement session last year. So we eagerly counted down the days until we got to celebrate with this amazing couple!
The day began at Tatyana and Josh’s Cincinnati home. Tatyana prepared for her wedding surrounded by her best friends and the cutest kitties in Ohio! From her bright blue heels to the perfect touches of soft sage, Tatyana’s details set the tone for the beautiful day ahead!
The Manor House has so many wonderful wedding options, but the Carriage House is my personal favorite! Lucky for me, it was Josh and Tatyana’s favorite too! With the perfect blend of rustic and modern, it’s like stepping out of the midwest and into your very own Aspen oasis!
Tatyana put the finishing touches on her bridal look with the help from her mom and bridesmaids. I was obsessed with her elegant high neck gown! It was one of the most unique wedding dresses I’ve ever seen and it was absolutely perfect for Tatyana!
Josh spent the morning playing card games with his guys! After some finishing touches from his sweet mama, it was time for Josh to see his bride! But only after a few photos of this handsome groom in his sharp suit!
Their First Look
Tatyana and Josh decided to share a first look prior to their ceremony, which I loved! This intimate moment was so full of emotion! I love when our couples see each other before because it really allows them the time to be present with one another on a day that gets so busy, so fast! We always make sure to photograph the first few minutes, but then give the couple some alone time too!
Tatyana and Josh had a wonderful bridal party who helped keep the energy up all day! They were such a fun crew and I am so thankful that Tatyana and Josh have such wonderful people in their corner!
Manor House Wedding
One of the neatest things about Josh and Tatyana’s wedding day was the weather! This March day pulled out all the stops! With seventy degree weather, blue skies and the most gorgeous flowering trees speckling the property of The Manor House, Tatyana and Josh’s day was a dream come true!
One of my favorite parts of the wedding was the Korovai! Tatyana was born in Ukraine so this traditional Ukrainian wedding bread was a special way to include her family’s heritage. It symbolizes the blessing the community gives to the couple. Tatyana’s parents proudly presented it with the help of Tatyana’s brother during the ceremony. Guests would later share the bread during the reception. And let me tell you, it was delicious!
Josh and Tatyana were married by a dear friend which made their ceremony extra special! Plus, they made their own wedding arch which was such a personal touch! It was so lovely!
After the ceremony, Tatyana and Josh snuck away for a few sunset photos. The Manor House is jam packed with stunning locations for photos so we had a great time exploring the grounds and letting these two soak in their newlywed status!
Finally, it was time for the reception! With pops of green and gold and a fire crackling in the fireplace, the Carriage House was so inviting! It was the perfect spot for a party!
Tatyana and Josh danced the night away with some of their very favorite people! It was a total blast and the perfect way to kick off our wedding season for the year! We adore these two and were positively thrilled to be able to celebrate with them on this glorious day! Congratulations Tatyana and Josh!
