A Vintage Inspired New Year’s Eve Wedding at The Athletic Club of Columbus | Brynn + Dominic
There are weddings that simply sparkle and then there are weddings like Brynn and Dominic’s New Year’s Eve celebration at The Athletic Club of Columbus. From the first look to the final kiss, their day was a stunning blend of timeless romance, family legacy, and pure celebration. As Columbus wedding photographers, these are the kinds of stories we’re honored to document, full of emotion, elegant detail, and moments that will live on for generations.
A Dress with History: A Mother’s Gown, Reimagined
Brynn’s bridal look was something truly special. She wore her mother’s wedding dress from the 1980s—a gown full of vintage charm and sentimental value. With subtle modern tailoring, it transformed into a perfectly fitted, lace-detailed dream. Photographing her stepping into the same dress her mom wore decades ago was incredibly powerful, there was so much love stitched into every button.
From the heirloom veil to the quiet tears in the bridal suite, this part of the day was rich in emotion and nostalgia. It was one of those moments that reminded us why wedding photography matters—these images will live on alongside the stories they represent.
The Setting: The Timeless Charm of The Athletic Club of Columbus
The Athletic Club of Columbus was the perfect venue for their celebration. It brought all the vintage grandeur with its wood-paneled walls, marble staircases, and gilded chandeliers. The couple leaned into the old-world feel of the space, using candlelight, classic florals, and gold accents to enhance the already-elegant setting.
As photographers, we’re always inspired by venues with history and character, and this one delivered at every turn.
A Midnight to Remember
New Year’s Eve weddings have a unique energy, and Brynn and Dominic’s reception was unforgettable. There was laughter, dancing, and that gorgeous kind of glow that only a winter wedding can give. As the countdown approached, guests gathered with champagne in hand while Brynn and Dominic stole a quiet moment together, just the two of them, soaking in the last few seconds of the year.
At midnight, they shared a kiss under a cascade of confetti, surrounded by their favorite people, launching into married life with joy, style, and celebration.
