When it comes to wedding ceremonies, intimate elopements are becoming increasingly popular for couples looking for a more low-key and budget-friendly option. And for one couple from Lockland, a suburb of Cincinnati, OH, their courthouse wedding was nothing short of magical.
The couple, Kade and Nick, had been together for years and had always talked about having a small, intimate wedding. With a 4-year-old son in tow, they decided to tie the knot at the town courthouse in Lockland. The building itself was quaint and charming, with brick walls and a beautiful bell tower.
We began the day at their home; I took photos as they made last minute preparations, helping each other get dressed and helping their son with his clothes and shoes. Then we piled into the family car and drove down the street to the town courthouse.
As they exchanged vows in front of the mayor, their son, carrying his stuffed chameleon, stood by their side, beaming with pride. It was a truly heartwarming moment, as the couple promised to love and cherish each other for the rest of their lives.
After the ceremony, the couple, along with their son, took a stroll through the nearby park, enjoying the beautiful weather and the feeling of being newlyweds.
While their wedding may have been simple and budget-friendly, it was filled with love, joy, and laughter. As they headed back home, hand in hand, they knew that they had made the right decision to elope and have a small, intimate ceremony.
The local town courthouse may not be the grandest wedding venue, but for Kade and Nick, it was the perfect place to start their new life together as husband and wife. And with their son by their side, they knew that their family was now complete. Cheers to the happy couple on their beautiful wedding day!
