Brittany + Sam | Toledo Botanical Gardens Engagement Session | Toledo, Ohio

My sister is getting hitched! I was so happy and honored to do her and Sam’s engagement photos last summer, since I won’t be able to be the wedding photographer. We had a blast at the lovely Toledo Botanical Gardens and I LOVE how every single photo turned out. The sun came out after an overcast afternoon and it was a bit chilly but you’d never know it looking at these photos! I mean, come on!! They seriously look like models!

I can’t wait for her wedding and all the festivities leading up to the big day! Maybe I’ll post some personal photos from the celebration when the time comes :)

Erin + Bill | Covington Skyline Engagement Session | Covington, Kentucky

It’s hard to explain how fun it is photographing your friends. We get to hang out and create some beautiful photos of a special milestone in their life. When Billy asked me to do some engagement photos for him I jumped at the chance to visit an old friend and finally meet his bride to be!

We met in Covington, KY, across the Ohio River from downtown Cincinnati, OH. We got to explore the town, see the beautiful skyline and pop champagne on a rooftop. It was a perfect summer evening and I couldn’t wait to get these photos to my friends! If you’re ever in southern Ohio, cross the bridge and explore Covington! It’s charming, pretty and has great local eats.

Kylee + Mike | The Scioto Mile Engagement Session | Columbus, Ohio

I was beyond thrilled the evening my phone went off and with a photo of a ring and text saying, “I’m in the market for a photographer, you know any??” It was from a lifelong friend, Kylee, who I’ve known since kindergarten. Anytime I get the opportunity to photographer friends, my job feels extra special. Of course I said yes and we planned her engagement session right away.

I travelled down to Columbus, Ohio where she and her fiance, Mike, live. I had only had the chance to meet Mike once and it was brief, so being able to visit and get to know him before photos was great! We waited til the sun got low and golden and headed to downtown Columbus to have some fun! It felt good to be with friends and explore downtown together making photos. I can’t wait to photograph their wedding in Sanibel Island, FL next February!
