Every once in a while I get to photograph a wonderful couple in a place that I have never been. I am always delighted when this happens and enjoy the on-the-fly thinking and problem solving.

In April 2023 I was honored to photograph my first even Hindu engagement ceremony and related activities. This beautiful event took place at the Hindu Temple of Dayton near the Mall At Fairfield Commons. I had never photographed anything like this before, so I was really excited. Normally, when it comes to engagement sessions, the couple is already officially engaged.

Each year I get a handful of engagement session inquiries outside of my wedding inquiries. Usually these are couples who are getting married in other states but live in the Dayton, Ohio area. In May 2023, this groom-to-be booked me to capture their engagement session. Initially it was set for Glen Helen Nature Preserve but it was later changed to downtown Dayton.

A few years ago on the hottest weekend of my life, I had the pleasure of photographing this awesome couple in New York City’s Central Park.  I have been a Dayton engagement photographer, capturing sessions all over Ohio, but this was the first time I was able to create beautiful Central Park engagement photos.  The weekend I was doing Central Park engagement photography was extremely hot with high humidity.  It was nearly unbearable, and the couple and I did our best given the conditions.  It was a once-in-a-lifetime photography opportunity, and I am very happy with how these engagement photos New York City turned out.  It was an amazing day being New York City engagement photographer!

In March 2021 I was asked to photograph a marriage proposal at Eastwood MetroPark. This is the second marriage proposal I have been honored to photograph in the past year.

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.
