A Timeless Celebration in the Heart of Covington

There’s something so special about a classic summer wedding in Covington, Kentucky — and Hannah and TJ’s day was the perfect blend of elegance, joy, and heartfelt celebration. Their wedding took place in June at the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption followed by a stunning reception at The Grand Ballroom, two of Northern Kentucky’s most iconic and romantic wedding venues.

Getting Ready Moments

Hannah started her morning surrounded by her bridesmaids, sharing laughter and mimosas before stepping into her breathtaking off-the-shoulder gown. Her delicate lace gloves and classic pointed heels added a touch of sophistication, perfectly matching her soft and timeless bridal aesthetic.

TJ got ready nearby, looking sharp in a light beige suit paired with a soft blue tie that matched their wedding palette beautifully. His calm yet joyful energy set the tone for the day.

A Heartfelt First Look with Dad and Brother

Before heading to the ceremony, Hannah shared a touching first look with her dad and brother — a moment filled with emotion and love. The instant they saw her, their reactions said it all: pride, joy, and maybe a few happy tears. It was one of those fleeting but unforgettable moments that remind everyone how much love surrounds a wedding day. These genuine, emotional connections are some of the most meaningful to capture — pure love and family pride wrapped into a single, beautiful scene.

The ceremony took place at the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption — one of the most breathtaking churches in Northern Kentucky. With its intricate stained-glass windows, towering ceilings, and warm light pouring in, it was the perfect backdrop as Hannah and TJ exchanged vows.

Their first kiss as husband and wife was framed by the golden glow of the cathedral’s altar — an unforgettable, emotional moment.
