Ault Park in Cincinnati is one of my favorite locations for engagement sessions. Hannah and Tyler decided to do their engagement session during the fall, and in true Ohio style- it was 85 degrees. That definitely didn’t stop us from getting some gorgeous photos. We had so much fun wandering around Ault Park and taking advantage of all the great backgrounds there.

The amount of Harry Potter inspiration incorporated into this bookish wedding was enough to make this book-lover swoon. Each table was numbered with a different chapter from a Harry Potter book and there were even flowers made from book pages. Their Star Wars and Harry Potter cake topper was amazing. They incorporated all their fandoms in the best way.

The Oakwood Courthouse is a dreamy little building. It is the best place for an intimate courthouse wedding. Jennifer and Isaac said ‘I do’ in front of a small group of their closest family and friends. After their indoor ceremony, we headed outside to take a few photos on the grounds of this gorgeous little building. It is such a great place for photos.

Recently I participated in the summer bridal open house at The Marmalade Lily, one of my favorite venues in the Cincinnati area. Engaged couples enjoyed complementary flower crowns to wear while they browsed the various wedding vendors in attendance. The food was nothing short of amazing, and The Marmalade Lily offered tours of their flower farm during the event.

On their wedding day, Megan and Brennan chose to have a first look to see each other for the first time before their ceremony. Brennan’s reaction was absolutely priceless. I have never seen a groom so amazed by the beauty of his bride. After spending a moment together, we set off for Wittenburg University to take a few photos with the couple and their bridal party.

Yesterday at Polen Farm, two of the most amazing people tied the knot on a perfectly sunny summer day. It has been nothing but rain in Ohio for the past week. The sun on the forecast for their Friday wedding was an exciting change of pace. Their sunflower-filled bouquets were exactly the right vibe. Rachael and Mason said ‘I do’ in the cool evening in front of all their family and friends at their outdoor ceremony at Polen Farm. Then they moved over to the barn to enjoy dinner and an evening of dancing.

This past Sunday on Deanna & Geneva’s wedding day, the forecast called for rain all day. As we all arrived at the venue, the rain just stopped; leaving us with a beautiful June evening to celebrate the union of two amazing people. One of my favorite moments from their wedding day was the first look. They opted to do a first look where they could both see each other at the same moment.

This past weekend we photographed the most gorgeous wedding at Steam Plant Dayton. K & R began their day downtown, getting ready in the suites at their reception venue. They chose to have a first look together outside in the courtyard before the ceremony. After their first look, we stopped by Hills & Dales MetroPark for a few photos before the ceremony.

Yesterday I photographed the most gorgeous engagement session at Wegerzyn Gardens . Dayton really comes alive in spring, and everything was in full bloom. It was the perfect background for some spring engagement photos.
