Some weddings just feel effortless — the kind where every detail falls into place, the light is perfect, and the couple looks like they were born to be in front of a camera. That was Taina and Dylan’s day from start to finish. From their ceremony at The Starlit Sanctuary in Covington, Kentucky to their candlelit reception inside the Hall of Mirrors at the Hilton Netherland Plaza, every moment was pure perfection.

A Simple and Stunning Ceremony

The Starlit Sanctuary was the perfect match for Taina and Dylan’s timeless style. The space was bright and minimal, with clean white walls and beautiful stained glass windows that filled the room with soft, natural light. Their ceremony felt classic and understated. All eyes were on the two of them as they promised forever in front of their closest friends and family.

Portraits at Devou Park and the Hilton Netherland Plaza

After the ceremony, we stayed behind in the sanctuary for a few portraits before heading across the river into Cincinnati. The grandeur of the Hilton Netherland Plaza offered the perfect contrast to the simplicity of the church. There were marble halls, gilded details, and art deco architecture everywhere you turned.

Before joining their guests, we stopped at Devou Park, where the city skyline peeked through the warm evening light. Taina and Dylan looked effortlessly chic against the soft golden glow — every photo felt straight out of a magazine spread.

A Candlelit Reception in the Hall of Mirrors

If the day felt elegant already, the reception took it to a whole new level. The Hall of Mirrors glowed with candlelight — hundreds of flickering flames reflected off the mirrored walls and gold trim, creating the most romantic atmosphere.

Guests dined and danced beneath sparkling chandeliers while Taina and Dylan soaked in every moment together. It was the perfect blend of elegance, energy, and intimacy — a celebration that felt grand but deeply personal all at once.

The Perfect Ending

Taina and Dylan’s wedding day was a masterclass in timeless romance — modern, stylish, and beautifully intentional from start to finish.
