If you know anything about Cory and I, you know that we love all things southern. Well, we happen to love this couple and their wedding! The wedding took place just outside of Cinncinati in a quaint town. It felt like we were deep in the south: complete with the sweetest people and the sweetest tea. In all seriousness, we really have loved getting to know Ruth and Riley. They have some of the greatest hearts ever. We loved their story as well. It is one of those stories that you feel as though it came straight out of a book. I guess in someways it was pre-written. God wrote their love story a long time ago. It is truly an endearing courtship, and their is no denying that they love God and each other.

Oh, how I just love Ruth’s dress!

This photo of Riley is so stoic and timeless.

Someday their kids and grandkids are going to look at this photo and feel like that could look back in time.

Ruth + Riley wanted to have a private moment where Riley couldn’t see her, but that they could be alone!

You can just see the emotion and anticipation on Riley’s face as he watches his bride down the aisle!

They wrote their own personal vows. It is one of the most beautiful vows I have ever heard. I could hardly keep focus, because the tears that filled my eyes!

Plus, I love how gently Ruth wipes away Riley’s tears!

Riley’s brother is such a cutie (& a ham!)

Ruth + Riley- you two are such a beautiful couple!

WOW- Ruth, you are a timeless beauty!

There is such a connection between these two! I love how in love they are!

Such a FUN bridal party!

I loved the inside of their reception location at the Glendale Lyceum. Pretty pale yellow walls, gorgeous chandeliers, and the history of the building!

I did not feel like I was in Ohio! There was so much southern charm!

Of course, couldn’t be a southern wedding without some sweet tea!

Ruth + Riley are just completely enamored!

Check out that bling!

I just love these two photos below! I could just eat that boy with a spoon! (a southern saying, I assure you)

Congratulations Ruth + Riley! Thank you for giving us the honor to share your day!! I Hope Hawaii was amazing!

Cory started The Home Aesthetic in 2014 after being frustrated with his own home buying process. He would search for hours on Real Estate sites like Zillow, Trulia, and MIBOR, but the photo quality was terrible and rarely gave an adequate representation of the home. Being part photographer and part entrepreneur, he had to do something to help agents and home owners solve the problem. Most of Cory's personal photoshoots are now on the commercial side working with interior designers and hotels.

When he's not photographing, he and his wife spend most of their time traveling. They love exploring new countries and cultures.
