For the first time in a few years, I photographed a couple at Carillon Historical Park (Carillon Park) in Dayton, Ohio. This great collection of Dayton historic icons is located just south of downtown Dayton. For a small cost, the three of us spent 2 hours create fun and unique engagement photos in this history-laden park. There were backgrounds such as old buildings, vintage trolley cars, and a carousel. We spent a lot of time in Carillon Park’s transportation center, a Dayton wedding venue.
On a warm April evening, I met this aviation enthusiast-engaged couple at the Piqua Airport north of Dayton. It is my 230th engagement session, and it is my first-ever airport engagement session. I have shot aviation-themed engagement photos inside and outside the National Museum Of The U.S. Air Force but never at an airport. The groom flies a Beechcraft Sundowner airplane, so we did the engagement photos with the aircraft. We spent 2 hours creating these aviation engagement photos using the taxiway, runway, hangar, and airplane.. This was one of my favorite engagement sessions ever, as I love photographing couples and I love photographing airplanes.

On a rainy Saturday night in May 2020, I photographed a surprise wedding proposal in Centerville Ohio on a football field. It ended up happening in the dark due to the football stadium lights turning off at 10 pm. The bride’s family and the groom’s family were present for this marriage proposal. It was really sweet and fun to photograph such a special moment.
Our second Chicago engagement location was the Ohio Street Beach by Navy Pier. This beach is one of my favorites in Chicago as it sits directly next to downtown Chicago. It is quite a sight to photograph a bride and groom on a beach with large skyscrapers less than a half-mile in the distance.

This fun, newly engaged couple, wanted to have their engagement photos at Fraze Pavilion in Kettering Ohio. Lincoln Park and Fraze Pavilion provide a unique and fun location for engagement pics when the music center is available. The day we picked for engagement photos was beautiful, and the gates were down to enter Fraze Pavilion.
This hilarious couple decided to celebrate their engagement with photos at 2nd & Charles in Kettering (Dayton suburb) Ohio. We spent the better part of an hour in several rows of books creating fun and off-beat engagement pictures using books, step stools, and more. 2nd & Charles is a local bookstore. They were kind to […]

In June 2018, I photographed a Cincinnati couple to celebrate their engagement. We started at DeVou Park in Covington, Kentucky. The vintage bicycle and luggage were a first for me, and I was excited to use props for engagement photos. After finishing at the park overlooking Cincinnati, we headed downtown. We spent 20 minutes at […]
