There is nothing more incredibly beautiful than witnessing - and documenting - love on a wedding day. Capturing the happiness and joy apparent between two people as they say “I do” always makes filming weddings a wonderful experience. Filming Elicia and Brandon's wedding at the stunning Hilton Columbus Downtown hit all the sweet spots. From the magical decorations to the emotional first look between the couple, it was simply breathtaking. We can honestly say that Elicia and Brandon's love shining throughout the day, celebrated with close friends and family, truly made it an unforgettable experience

Elicia And Brandon’s Hilton Columbus Downtown Wedding

We started the day filming Elicia and Brandon getting ready. We could sense their excitement, joy, and infectious energy from the beginning. Elicia looked absolutely breathtaking in her wedding dress, while Brandon turned heads in his tux. With wide smiles and shining eyes, you could see the couple’s anticipation and excitement for their big day ahead.


The couple had a beautiful first look. Our hearts melted seeing Elicia and Brandon gaze lovingly into each other's eyes for the first time on their wedding day. The backdrop of the architecturally unique breezeway at the Hilton Columbus Downtown provided such a romantic setting with its modern lines and angles. The way Brandon looked at Elicia was so moving - you could almost see him holding back tears. The couple looked so elegant in their portraits as they held hands, and shared loving looks, laughter, and even some beautiful kisses. 


The Hilton Columbus Downtown set a stunning backdrop for Elicia and Brandon's intimate wedding day. It was beautiful to witness their union in front of close friends and family, all there to celebrate their special occasion. We especially loved capturing the moment when Brandon teared up as he saw his bride walk down the aisle; it felt so romantic and heartfelt. We will never forget to see these two say their vows in front of a room filled with love. These moments will be with them for a lifetime. 



Elicia and Brandon's reception was magical. The glowing candles, the elegant yet modern decor, and the city lights twinkling in the distance made for pure romance. It was truly a spectacular night. The newlyweds' energy radiated through the night; not only did they share a beautiful first dance, but they also had a three-tiered, artfully decorated wedding cake that they joyfully sliced into. The party really started when guests crowded onto the dance floor—laughter, music, and endless celebration filled the air!
