Ending a great 2023 with an engagement session in Dayton’s Oregon District was awesome. This couple contacted me a few weeks ahead of time to schedule my final photography session of the year. We met at Salar on Fifth Street on a freezing cold evening 30 minutes before sunset. As we started the session it began to snow lightly which you can see in some of the photos below. So as the snow came down, I began to photograph this couple.

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 late Autumn 2023, I had such an occasion and photographed a beautiful backyard engagement session in Kettering Ohio.

Potential clients often ask me what my favorite location to photograph couples is. For years, it has been the Oregon District which is Fifth Street just east of Patterson Boulevard in downtown Dayton, Ohio. This newly engaged couple decided to use this uniquely Dayton location. As we started the session, we got a pleasant surprise from the owner of the Oregon Express bar and restaurant.
