Chic Downtown Fall Wedding at The Fig Room | Columbus Ohio Wedding Photographer

On October 15, 2022, Josh and Shante brought all the style, emotion, and downtown charm to their wedding day — and it was nothing short of magic. Set in the heart of Columbus at The Fig Room, their celebration was the perfect blend of modern romance and soulful connection.

Getting Ready: Quiet Moments in the City

The day started at a cozy Airbnb tucked away in Columbus, where Shante and her girls prepped with glowing skin, champagne toasts, and a peaceful kind of joy. Across town, Josh suited up with his crew, his nerves showing just enough to reveal how much this day meant.

The light in the space, the quiet before the rush — it was the perfect backdrop for heartfelt letters, final touches, and deep breaths before “I do.”

The Fig Room: Intimate, Modern, Unforgettable

Tucked in the Short North Arts District, The Fig Room is one of those venues that just feels romantic. Its minimalist design, warm textures, and historic charm made it the perfect canvas for Josh and Shante’s vision.

Their ceremony was deeply emotional — the kind that brings tears to everyone, even behind the camera. Every word they spoke felt intentional, every glance full of love. It was clear: these two weren’t just getting married — they were stepping into forever with open hearts and unshakable joy.

Details that Told Their Story

Josh and Shante’s fall wedding design was effortlessly stylish. Clean lines, lush florals, and warm, moody tones gave the entire space a romantic, editorial feel. From the custom signage to the candlelit reception, every detail felt them — refined, warm, and modern.

One of my favorite touches? Their private vow exchange — a moment just for the two of them that we tucked away before the ceremony. These are the moments I love most: honest, real, and just for the couple.

The Celebration That Followed

Once the dance floor opened, there was no holding back. Their people came ready to party, and the love in the room was palpable. Between the speeches, the sweet first dances, and the all-night celebration, their reception was pure joy from start to finish.
