Dayton Ohio Engagement Photos And Marriage Proposal Blog

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.

This fun, newly engaged couple, wanted to have their engagement photos at Fraze Pavilion in Kettering Ohio.

The day we picked for engagement photos was beautiful, and the gates were down to enter Fraze Pavilion.

We spent 20 minutes at […]

Vintage Styled Engagement Session During Spring On a warm spring day, I met this energetic couple for an equally unique engagement photoshoot at the bride’s parents’ home.  When I arrived, her parents were polishing up several class cars parked in the front yard.  Two of my favorite vintage cars we used as engagement photo backdrops […]

Last winter I had the opportunity to create beautiful engagement photography at The Greene in the Dayton, Ohio area.  The Greene is an outdoor shopping center that has been open for several years.  Most top wedding photographers in Dayton Ohio have probably not photographed engagement sessions at The Greene.  I know this was my first time.  I will […]

The well-manicured Wegerzyn Gardens MetroPark, Five Rivers MetroPark is always a difficult place to shoot engagement photographs in Dayton, Ohio.  Although it seems as though there are many options, it can often be crowded and can be difficult to find space.  It is beautiful, but it is often dark due to the abundance of tall […]
