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.

This past weekend was full of engagement sessions for me, and I am so excited to share a few of my favorite moments. These engagement photos were taken in Dayton, Ohio at Cox Arboretum Metropark, one of the best locations to take photos. It’s super easy to get a huge variety of looks at this one little park. There are so many great spots for taking photos.

Photographing a marriage proposal is one of my favorite things to do. I love seeing the genuine joy & surprise. Hearing the story of how they met and all the planning that went into keeping everything a secret is just so fun. When Zach reached out asking me if I would photograph him proposing to Emily, I was so excited to help.

I am so excited to share a recent engagement session I photographed at The Honey Farm in Dayton, Ohio. Kenzi & Brandon will be getting married there in 2022 and so they had the unique opportunity to take their engagement photos at their wedding venue. If you have the opportunity to do that, it’s a really great chance to walk around with the photographer ahead of the big day and take some photos. It gives you a great idea of how things will look on your wedding day, and you can figure out what you love most before the actual wedding rolls around.

Summer engagement sessions are one of my absolute favorite things. It’s nice and warm outside. Everything is lush and green, and the sunsets are especially glowy- which is perfect for sunset engagement photos. This engagement session at Cox Arboretum was so much fun. During their engagement session, they had the sweetest family of photo-bombers. Scroll down to see exactly what happened! It was such a cute moment.

If you don’t already know, Ault Park is easily one of the absolute best locations for engagement sessions in Cincinnati. It’s such a large park with lots of different spots to take great photos. This recent spring engagement session was so much fun. K & C brought their dog along for just a few minutes at the very beginning of their session; and then a friend picked him up to take him home so they could also get some photos without their pup. I

This spring engagement session is what dreams are made of. We began our time together at French Park in Cincinnati. K + J brought their dog, Geneva, along to be a part of the beginning of their engagement session. Towards the end of our time at French Park, a friend came by to pick their pup up so they could spend some time getting images of just the two of them.

Spring engagement sessions officially have me swooning. This recent engagement session at the Dayton Art Institute was so much fun. Lauren and Randy have such a natural and fun connection- photographing them was literally such a joy for me. One of my favorite things about my job is seeing how a couple connects and capturing that unique dynamic in photographs so they can hold onto those moments forever.

Winter engagement sessions are always favorites of mine. The weather, although unpredictable, can be really beautiful in Ohio. Sometimes it’s snowy, and other times- like in the case of this engagement session at Ault Park, it is foggy. Ault Park is great all year round, and winter there is no exception. There are actually great spots for photos that you can only use during winter because their tent is taken down for the year and the main structure is totally exposed.
