The Westin Great Southern Columbus Wedding | Nicole & Aaron

Some love stories sound like they came straight out of a romance novel, which is exactly how I felt about Nicole and Aaron’s. After their whirlwind romance and med school, they had the Westin Great Southern Columbus Wedding of their dreams!

Nicole & Aaron

After moving to Columbus for med school, Nicole met Aaron at a party and quickly became friends. Soon after, they began dating, and the rest is history! As a Columbus wedding photographer, I feel so honored that I got to capture a part of their love story. These two are so devoted to each other and so sweet. It is exciting to see what life will bring their way!

First Look & Private Vows

One of the best ways to settle any nerves before the ceremony is to have a first look together. Something about seeing your soon-to-be spouse really grounds you. You no longer think of all the plans for the day, and all the eyes that will be on you. It feels like its just the two of you.

Nicole and Aaron chose to have a first look together, as well as a private vow reading. The vow reading was important to them as their ceremony honored their Jewish faith. Traditional Jewish weddings do not have spoken vows between the couple, so by having a vow reading before the ceremony the couple got the best of both worlds!

The Westin Great Southern Columbus Wedding Reception

The Jewish traditions continued into the reception at the Westin in Columbus! Both Nicole and Aaron’s dads but the Challah to kick off the dinner service. Then Nicole and Aaron had a first dance followed by the Horah, which was so fun! Nicole, Aaron and both sets of prents all made it in the chairs during the Horah!

Nicole and Aaron’s Westin Great Southern Columbus wedding was classic, traditional and an absolute party! I can’t wait to see what their future holds. Ready to book your Columbus wedding? Inquire here!
