If you are planning ahead for your fall engagement session, this post is for you. Here are a few quick tips to help you get the most out of your autumn engagement photo session.

Cox Arboretum is always at the top of my list for fall engagement session locations. This session was later in the season, in early November, but there were still lots of colorful leaves on the trees. We wanted to use the more natural landscapes as backgrounds for C & S’s engagement photos, so we opted to use the fields and trees in the park rather than the more formal gardens to get the look they had in mind.

Fall is probably the most popular season for engagement sessions, and with good reason. The leaves provide a gorgeous color palette for outdoor engagement photos and the weather is usually pleasant. This recent engagement photography session at Cox Arboretum was definitely a favorite of mine. It was just a little chilly- the perfect weather to wear sweaters and cuddle together.

I’m just going to come out and say it- Cox Arboretum is the best place in Dayton for fall engagement photos. Early Sunday morning, I met with C & R for their engagement session at Cox Arboretum. We arrived just after sunrise and the park was peaceful. We pretty much had the whole place to ourselves.

I love a unique engagement session location, and this one has all the fall vibes. I am so excited to share Samantha & Caleb’s pumpkin patch engagement photos. Their session was in mid-October, so what better way to truly capture that fall feeling than at a neighborhood farm and pumpkin patch. We spent the evening wandering around Shaw Farms, a pumpkin patch just outside of Cincinnati, taking photos to celebrate their engagement.
