Yesterday night was incredibly beautiful. Ault Park is easily one of my favorite places to photograph couples in Cincinnati. Everything there is beautiful, with so many great backgrounds- you really can’t go wrong. I am there quite often, and was recently photographing a newly married couple when another couple approached me to ask for information.

Now that things are starting to look at least a little bit more normal, I am excited to share some of the things I have been working on over the past few weeks. Earlier this week, I headed down to Cincinnati for an engagement session at Coffee Emporium and French Park.

Here are a few of my favorite Cincinnati engagement session locations. All of these places are free and open to the public, so no additional fee is required to have your engagement photos taken there. They are also all pet-friendly, so you could bring along your furry friends to be a part of your engagement session at any of these locations as well.

Ault Park is one of my absolute favorite locations for photographing engagement sessions. There is just so much variety there. Even when it’s extremely crowded, like it was during this engagement session, there is just an absolute ton to work with. Cincinnati has some great parks, and Ault Park is no exception. If you are looking for places to have your engagement photos taken in Cincinnati, I definitely recommend it.

Cincinnati is a gorgeous city, and a perfect location for an engagement photo session. R & K decided they wanted to have their engagement photos taken in Cincinnati along the river at Smale Park. We set the time for early morning, so that we could avoid any crowds. The park was empty, the early morning light glowing, and we were able to wander around and take advantage of everything. Smale Park is a great riverfront location, with views of the Ohio River, the Roebling bridge and The Great American Ball Park.
