Valerie & Luke's Wedding at The Hitching Post Ranch

The day began with the bride and her bridesmaids getting ready at the ranch. Valerie looked stunning in her wedding dress, radiating elegance and joy. Meanwhile, Luke and his groomsmen were also getting ready for the big day.

The ceremony took place at the Church of Our Lady in Columbus, Ohio. The beautiful church provided a perfect backdrop for the couple's vows. After the heartfelt ceremony, we captured the newlyweds' joyful bubble exit before they boarded the party bus and headed back to the venue for the reception.

Upon returning to Hitching Post Ranch, we were greeted by guests mingling during cocktail hours, breathtaking decor details, and an amazing dessert table at the reception. The bride and groom took pictures with their bridal party and their son, capturing their love and happiness. As they entered, it was clear how much they adored each other, seamlessly transitioning into their first dance as a married couple.

As the evening progressed, guests mingled and danced, enjoying the festivities. We concluded our filming by capturing a magical moment of Valerie and Luke at the top of the hill as the sun set, providing a perfect ending to a perfect day.

Valerie and Luke were a fun couple with great personalities, making capturing the day very enjoyable. Their love for each other was evident.
