As a photographer, capturing love stories is always a joy, but there are some weddings that truly leave a mark on your heart. Alex and Nicole’s black tie wedding at the historic Kohl Mansion was one such memorable event. Surrounded by lush gardens and timeless architecture, their celebration was a blend of cherished family traditions and elegant sophistication.
A Perfect Setting
Kohl Mansion’s grandeur provided a breathtaking backdrop for this elegant affair. As guests arrived, they were greeted by the stately façade of the mansion, setting the tone for an unforgettable night. The interiors were just as sublime, with rich woodwork and intricate detailing that added to the wedding’s regality.
Family-Centered Celebration
Alex and Nicole’s wedding was more than just a union of two people; it was a celebration of two families coming together. The couple’s commitment to family was palpable throughout the day, from the touching moments shared with parents and siblings to the lively mingling during the reception. Every corner of Kohl Mansion echoed with laughter, heartfelt toasts, and the joy of loved ones coming together.
Honoring Ukrainian Heritage and Jewish Traditions
Nicole’s Ukrainian heritage and Jewish traditions added a meaningful layer to the celebration. The couple seamlessly wove these cultural elements into their wedding day, creating a rich tapestry of love and history. Every moment was steeped in tradition. Nicole’s family also shared beautiful Ukrainian customs, adding depth and vibrancy to the festivities. The couple also included spanish perrons on each table as a way to share something fun from a recent trip to Spain.
The Glamorous Details
The black tie dress code was impeccably adhered to by all the guests, adding an extra layer of elegance to the day. Nicole’s dress, designed by Made With Love, was a stunning sight to behold. Each intricate detail was captured beautifully against the classic backdrop of Kohl Mansion. The bridesmaids, dressed in BHDLN, complemented the high-end feel of the celebration.
Capturing Every Beautiful Moment
As a photographer, capturing the essence of such a significant day is a deeply rewarding experience. Each photograph from Alex and Nicole’s wedding tells a story of love, tradition, and the beauty of family. It was an honor to document their journey and witness the genuine connection they share.
