In September 2020 I photographed this great same-sex couple at Sugarcreek MetroPark in Bellbrook, Ohio. We had a great 2 hours hiking around this southern Dayton area park. I was able to capture so many great engagement photos on this late summer day. The dog’s bandana was a nice touch. “I love my mom” is what it said. Thank you to these two fun ladies for a very nice evening.

The last stops were my second favorite spots for Chicago engagement photography after Ohio Street Beach. We photographed at Michigan Avenue/Chicago River/Wabash, Wrigley Building, Chicago RiverWalk, Chicago Theatre, bridges over the Chicago River, the “L”, and the Civic Opera House.

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.

Our first Chicago engagement location was the South Pond Nature Walk at Lincoln Park Zoo. A permit is required to do engagement photos at the South Pond Nature Walk. We spent one hour photographing at various natural habitats around this beautiful lake and park.

Engagement sessions at Carriage Hill MetroPark are few and far between for me. This MetroPark is north of Dayton and features a lake, boardwalk, and working historical farm. The color choices found in this park include two red barns. As a Dayton engagement photographer, I usually get asked to photograph couples either in downtown Dayton or south of town. I do work with every bride and groom to determine the best Dayton engagement location for them! You will love your Carriage Hill engagement photos.

Each year that I am a Dayton engagement photographer and Cincinnati engagement photographer I have a most-used Dayton engagement location.  This year it has been Hills and Dales MetroPark.  I have photographed an incredible number of newly engaged couples at this beautiful Dayton MetroPark.  The park features a wood and stone pagoda, a small lake, […]

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, a local bookstore, was kind to let us […]

As a Dayton engagement photographer, I get to visit so many amazing Dayton engagement locations.  Near the top of my list of favorite engagement locations in the Dayton area is the historic Oregon District. This is the single best Dayton engagement shoot spot with my favorite backgrounds. The large, dense area of historic homes, stores, […]

In late June 2018, I photographed this Cincinnati couple to celebrate their recent engagement.  We started at DeVou Park in Covington, Kentucky.  The vintage bicycle and luggage were a first for me. I was excited to be using props for engagement photos.  Once we were done at this great park overlooking Cincinnati, we headed to […]
