Engagement Photography In Downtown Dayton’s Historic District
July 1, 2019
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, breweries, brick streets, and restaurants provides an endless backdrop for amazing engagement photos. Sunday, June 30, 2019, was no exception!! By the way, the first photo below is my single favorite engagement photo I’ve ever taken. I love the joy in their smiles.
Dayton Engagement Shoot Spot With My Favorite Backgrounds
When meeting a newly engaged couple in the Oregon District, I will park at Omega Music and wait for the couple. We will then make our way around several blocks within the business area and residential area to create these Dayton engagement photos. Some of my favorite backdrops to use are the brick streets, graffiti-covered alleys, brick walls of homes (without trespassing), and a great deal of historic architecture. I usually finish our Dayton engagement photography time by walking west on 5th Street through the main business area. There are so many unique storefronts that enable unique Dayton engagement photos. I will sometimes ask for permission to photograph the couple inside businesses.
Parking Tip
Parking behind Omega Music is no longer free. If you want to park for free during your Dayton engagement photo session, try parking on the street. Should you decide to park elsewhere, be prepared to walk. It isn’t a long walk from anywhere, but you should build in time from parking to the starting location. Additionally, be prepared for summer weekend road closures. The Dayton Police Department regularly makes 5th Street pedestrian-only on weekends.
