When you imagine a winter wedding, you might think cozy and intimate—but Jessica and Nate gave us something even more striking: a December celebration filled with timeless glamour, golden light, and the rich history of one of Cleveland’s most iconic venues. Their Old Courthouse wedding was a beautiful blend of modern love and old-world elegance—and we were honored to capture it all.
Though the couple now lives in Columbus, their hearts brought them back to Cleveland for their special day. And The Old Courthouse? It couldn’t have been a more perfect fit to celebrate their union.
A Return to Cleveland for a Day to Remember
Jessica and Nate wanted a wedding that felt timeless and elegant—something that would take your breath away the moment you walked in. And the Old Courthouse in Downtown Cleveland delivered. With its soaring ceilings, grand staircases, and ornate marble details, this venue is a showstopper in every sense of the word.
As guests arrived out of the crisp December air, they were welcomed by warm lighting, festive energy, and a ceremony space that felt straight out of a movie.
Saying “I Do” in Historic Elegance
There’s something incredibly special about a wedding at The Old Courthouse. The space is both dramatic and inviting, filled with historic charm and just the right amount of sparkle. Jessica’s entrance down the grand staircase was unforgettable—every head turned, and every camera snapped. Nate’s expression said it all.
The ceremony was heartfelt and deeply personal, surrounded by antique lighting and echoes of family history. It was a moment suspended in time, and one that we were thrilled to capture on camera.
A December Wedding That Felt Like Pure Magic
After the ceremony, guests moved into the main rotunda, where the celebration kicked off in style. Everything about the reception was elegant, from the sophisticated florals and black-tie attire to the champagne toasts echoing under the marble dome.
Jessica and Nate’s Cleveland wedding reminded us how magical winter weddings can be—especially when you lean into the romance of the season and pair it with a venue as iconic as The Old Courthouse. Their love lit up the room, the dance moves, and the photos. Absolute magic.
