Wegerzyn Gardens Spring Engagement Shoot On Prom Night
August 8, 2024
What a night. Wow. I have photographed hundreds of Dayton engagement sessions, but this Wegerzyn Gardens spring engagement shoot was a challenge. I was jamming to music as I pulled into the park as I have done dozens of times. It quickly became apparent that the night was different. There were a dozen cars waiting to exit the park. As I approached the parking lot, there were multiple police, and probably 200 cars. At most, I’ve seen 15 cars here at one time.
Photographing A Wegerzyn Gardens Spring Engagement Shoot With 500 People
Wegerzyn Gardens is a compact park just north of downtown Dayton. On busy days, you might encounter 30-40 people. On the evening of prom, it is absolutely insane. Once parked, I texted the engaged couple to see if they were ok with keeping the session. They said, “Sure.” So, we met at the entrance to the park. I let them know that we’d have to be patient and work around the hundreds of brightly dressed high school students and their parents. I then promised the couple they would see almost no one in these engagement photos.
Wegerzyn Gardens – The Results
The results speak for themselves. There is almost no one in any photo except for the couple. This was one of my finest engagement sessions and a challenge I gladly accepted.
