Andre & Kenzie’s Evening Wedding | Cheers Chalet, Ohio

Andre and Kenzie’s wedding day at Cheers Chalet was the kind of celebration that beautifully balanced deep meaning with unforgettable energy.

A Trusted Experience at Cheers Chalet

Having been a preferred vendor at Cheers Chalet for many years, it’s always special walking into a space that feels familiar knowing exactly how to use the property, the light, and the flow of the day to create the best possible experience for our couples. Andre and Kenzie’s wedding was no exception.

A “First Look Without the Look” Rooted in Faith

At the heart of their day was their faith. One of the most intentional and emotional moments came before the ceremony a “first look without the look.” Instead of seeing each other, Andre kept his eyes closed as they held hands, prayed together, and grounded themselves in what the day truly meant. It was quiet, powerful, and one of those moments that says everything without needing to be seen.

Golden Hour Before “I Do”

Just before the ceremony, we stepped into golden hour for some separate party portraits, family portraits, and solos capturing that soft, warm light in a way that felt romantic and calm before the celebration began. It created the perfect contrast to what the rest of the night had in store.

A Unique Evening Ceremony

As the sun set, their ceremony began bringing a completely different atmosphere to the day. With the evening light fading, we leaned into flash photography for their portraits and reception, giving their just married images a bold, editorial, and cinematic feel. Night weddings always carry a certain energy, and this one was no exception.

A Dance Floor That Didn’t Quit

And once the reception started, the dance floor was PACKED.

The dance floor at Cheers Chalet was packed from the start and never slowed down. Andre and Kenzie, along with their guests, brought so much energy, turning the night into a full-on celebration. It was the kind of party where no one wanted to sit down and every moment felt alive.

A Day That Balanced Meaning & Celebration

Their wedding is proof that you can create a day that is both deeply rooted in faith and completely unforgettable in celebration. From a quiet prayer together before the ceremony to a dance floor that didn’t quit, every part of their day felt intentional, emotional, and full of joy.

Andre and Kenzie your wedding was such an honor to capture. The way you centered your marriage on what matters most while still fully celebrating every moment is something your guests (and honestly anyone who sees your photos) won’t forget.
