Oh my goodness, am I excited to share today’s blog! Maddie and Ben’s wedding at The Lift in Dayton, Ohio, was absolutely stunning. Everything about the day was so beautifully curated, and the classic black-and-white color scheme made everything feel so timeless and elegant.
A Unique & Historic Venue
The Lift is one of my favorite wedding venues in Downtown Dayton! Did you know that this venue used to be an ice cream cone factory? How cool is that! It’s such a unique space with an industrial yet modern vibe, making it the perfect backdrop for Maddie and Ben’s special day.
Thoughtful & Elegant Details
The details of the day were simple yet so elegant. I absolutely loved the his-and-hers vow books they both had. They used them during their “first touch” before the ceremony, and let me tell you—it was such a heartfelt and emotional moment. It was so moving to witness their love and excitement right before they officially said, “I do!”
Classic & Timeless Wedding Fashion
I can’t get over how gorgeous the bridal party looked! The bridesmaids wore stunning black dresses that fit the theme of the day perfectly, and the groomsmen looked so dapper in their classic black tuxes. It was the definition of timeless elegance.
And Maddie—oh my goodness—she was absolutely breathtaking! Her dress fit her like a dream, and I am still obsessing over her delicate, stylish sleeves. Her veil? A photographer’s dream! We captured some of the most magical veil shots, and she was absolutely glowing the entire day.
Ben looked so handsome in his wedding attire and was such a blast to be around! Fun fact: he’s a pretty cool gaming streamer! If you want to check out his content, here’s his profile: Chewy.
The Perfect Ceremony & Golden Hour Magic
Everything about their ceremony was perfect, from the heartfelt vows to the love and joy radiating from their family and friends. Afterward, we were able to sneak out during sunset, and WOW—we hit the jackpot with golden hour! The lighting was pure magic, and the glow made for the dreamiest portraits.
Thank You, Maddie & Ben!
Maddie and Ben, thank you so much for choosing and trusting me to capture your beautiful day. It was an honor to be part of such a special moment in your lives, and I wish you both a lifetime of love and happiness!
