Jane and Graham’s wedding day in Miamisburg, Ohio was full of faith, family, and fall beauty. From Jane getting ready at her aunt’s home right next door to her childhood house, to their Catholic wedding ceremony at Our Lady of Good Hope Catholic Church, to a joyful reception at Star City Social, every part of the day was filled with meaning.
The morning began at Jane’s aunt’s house, where she got ready surrounded by her friends and family. Just steps away was Jane’s childhood home—a place full of memories. Before the ceremony, we visited the house to recreate some of her mother’s wedding photos.
Jane and Graham first met during the spring of 2020, online during their sophomore year at Miami University. Almost immediately, they saw how much they had in common: both grew up in the Catholic Church, both are from the Dayton/Cincinnati area, both were students at Miami. Their shared faith, values, and hometown roots grounded their bond from the start.
Jane and Graham were married at Our Lady of Good Hope Catholic Church in downtown Miamisburg. After the ceremony, we explored downtown Miamisburg for portraits. The colorful murals, brick alleyways, and twinkle lights provided such a fun backdrop for romantic photos. We also used a beautiful park next to the church for portraits. I always love it when there is a mixture of urban and nature settings so that we can get a great variety!
The celebration continued at Star City Social, a modern and welcoming wedding reception venue in Miamisburg. The dance floor was lively, and the joy and laughter were contagious! There was never a dull moment!
To close the evening, we stepped away from the celebration for a few quiet moments by the river at sunset. The soft golden light was the perfect backdrop for Jane and Graham’s final portraits of the day—romantic, peaceful, and full of the love and excitement that will carry them into their marriage.
Jane and Graham, we loved getting to know you both and capturing your beautiful day! We hope these photos bring you back to your wedding, all of the joy-filled moments!
