Maria and Chris at Hilton Netherland Plaza

Maria and Chris chose some of Cincinnati's prettiest venues for their Spring wedding. Their ceremony was held at the gorgeous St. Peter in Chains Cathedral, which photographs so beautifully. It was also a blessing that their ceremony was there because some Spring showers popped up when we were supposed to go outdoors for some photographs. St. Peters is the only church in downtown Cincy that has covered steps so we were able to keep photographing despite the rain.

Maria was smart and planned for rain and had gotten all the bridesmaids matching umbrellas in their wedding colors. Luckily the showers paused long enough for us to venture into the city for some more photographs before heading to the Hilton Netherland Plaza for the reception. The Hilton Netherland Plaza is known for its amazing art deco decor throughout the hotel and within their two elegant ballrooms. Maria and Chris' blue and gold wedding colors looked beautiful against all the gilded gold of the ballroom. Maria's family is Lebanese and they incorporated some traditional Lebanese food into the cocktail hour, which was a big hit with the guests.

Feel free to leave well wishes for the newlyweds below in the Comments section. You can also find more images on the Studio's Facebook Page. You can also view their engagement session just in case you missed it last fall. Congrats to the newlyweds!
