  • What It's Like to Photograph Someone's Forever
    May 27 2025

    Welcome back, Lovelies!

    In this heartwarming episode of Love, Abbie, we’re diving deep into what it truly feels like to photograph someone’s forever. I'm Abbie, your vendor BFF and the creative force behind OKOTA, where we specialize in all the aesthetic elements of your wedding—photography, videography, floral, and stationery design.

    This episode isn’t just for future brides—it's for anyone who’s ever wondered what goes into capturing one of the most important days in someone’s life. As a professionally trained photographer with a degree from Xavier University and international wedding planner certification, I share not just the technical side of my work, but the emotional journey and heart behind every shot.

    We talk about why choosing the right wedding photographer is so crucial and how those behind-the-scenes moments—like your grandma squeezing your hand before you walk down the aisle—can become the most treasured memories for generations to come. Through candid storytelling, I walk you through how I prepare for a wedding day, what separates a good photographer from a great one, and how couples can support their vendors in capturing the day flawlessly.

    Whether you’re searching for a Cincinnati wedding photographer, exploring a wedding photographer in Cincinnati, or simply looking for ways to make your engagement season special, this episode will give you a fresh and honest perspective.
