Pre-Wedding Photos Of A Bride And Groom In Springboro Ohio 2022

Before the wedding, I met the wedding couple to capture pre-wedding photos of the bride and groom, with the groom being at a hotel and the bridge being at home. He was at my favorite Dayton area wedding-getting-ready location, Hilton Garden Inn Austin Landing. This hotel just 15 minutes south of Dayton Ohio has the perfect size rooms for several people to get ready on a wedding day. I have been to getting ready spots throughout 225 weddings, but I always love this Hilton Garden Inn at Austin Landing in Miamisburg, Ohio. The corner suite(s) is always enough room for the bride and several bridesmaids to get ready.

My Thoughts Regarding These Pre-Wedding Photos Of A Bride And Groom Dayton Ohio

I wanted to write specifically about how great this Dayton groom was. First off, he was up for anything I would suggest. He trusted me to be the one to create great photos. Second, he had the best facial expressions which you can see below. Even when he didn’t know I was photographing him, he made awesome expressions. Quite often, I get grooms who have to be lightly directed into making interesting expressions. When I get a do-it-yourself groom, I can focus more on using cool backgrounds and less on directing. Either way, I love what I do!

My 225th wedding was my fifth Dayton wedding at Yankee Trace Golf Course between Miamisburg and Springboro Ohio. While the reception was held in the recently redesigned Yankee Trace event space, the ceremony was held at a Catholic Church just off Austin Boulevard. Having non-church weddings has been a trend for the last several years, so photographing a church wedding was a welcome change.

Once the wedding formal and family photos were complete, we rushed to Yankee Trace. The sun was setting, and we only had 20 minutes to complete the wedding portraits before dark. Having created thousands of beautiful Dayton wedding portraits in hundreds of locations, I was prepared for this night. I grabbed more wireless lighting and met the bride and groom on the golf course. We knocked out 15 minutes of sunset pictures with the wedding couple nicely lit by my lights. The rest of the night went amazingly well with people dancing the night away.
