An Early Morning Engagement Session At Dayton’s Most Diverse Park

September 30, 2022

Cox Arboretum engagement photos are always beautiful and enjoyable. This newly engaged couple was willing to try so many poses and locations during this engagement session at Dayton’s most diverse park. The bride-to-be had a smile that was so contagious (and surprising for so early in the morning) A lot of laughter occurred, which made the photos so much more fun and more natural. I always love the natural expressions and emotions that couples bring out in each other. These two were two of the best and most expressive.

What can I say about this park? I am starting to think that a minimum of 90 minutes per session should be required. Between the over-crowded areas, waiting for our turn at locations, and long walks, it is becoming harder to take good photos here. Try to avoid this park on high school dance nights, especially prom. I’ve made that mistake too many times. While most photographers are cognisant of other photographers, many people are not.
