Last evening I had the pleasure of capturing Chandler and Logan’s engagement session, and let me tell you, it was an absolute blast! These two were just so natural in front of the camera, making my job as a photographer so easy. From the sweet stolen glances to the effortless laughter, every moment was just perfect.

As a wedding photographer, moments like these are what drive me to do what I do. To capture the love and emotion between two people, to immortalize their bond in stunning images that will last a lifetime. Zack and Meghan’s engagement session was a perfect example of why I love what I do. It was a reminder of the beauty and magic of love, and how it can be captured and preserved through the art of photography.

As a wedding photographer, I am constantly amazed at the beautiful locations I get to explore and capture love stories. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing a Fall wedding at the stunning Dayton Arcade. The day was filled with sunshine, love, and a touch of nostalgia that made it truly special.

Every now and then, I have the opportunity to photograph a wedding that simply takes my breath away. Such was the case with Keith & Hilary’s wedding at The Henry Ford Museum. It was a perfect summer day, although it had rained earlier in the morning. But as luck would have it, the clouds parted, and the sun bathed the entire venue in a warm and inviting glow.

You may remember Ryan and Sara from their proposal on the blog this past winter. A few months later we photographed their engagement session in the SAME park where they got engaged, and it was soooo sweet. It felt only right to begin their session in the same path where Ryan got down one knee.

Ben & Katherine’s wedding couldn’t have been more perfect! After the long anticipation of it raining a portion of the day… Mother Nature held off until ALL of our photos were done and we were so grateful.

This past weekend I had the privilege of photographing such a beautiful moment of Ryan getting down on one knee and asking Sara to marry him! This session has been in the works for weeks (that I’ve been a part of)… and Ryan was so prepared for every little detail going in to it. He was creative and made this park a usual walking spot! Occasionally he tossed in hints about future walks so Sara wouldn’t see the proposal coming. Needless to say…

I started off my 2022 season such a perfect way with an engagement session for Zach and Emily! For their session we ventured to the Dayton Art Institute and surrounding streets. Being early March… we had surprisingly beautiful weather (70 and sunny)!
