If you are planning ahead for your fall engagement session, this post is for you. Here are a few quick tips to help you get the most out of your autumn engagement photo session.

Yesterday’s wedding was absolutely gorgeous. It rained all morning, but when it was time to take photos outside of the University of Dayton chapel where Magge & Joe planned to get married, the rain magically stopped. After their church wedding ceremony, we headed to Riverscape Metropark in downtown Dayton to get some photos of the bride & groom. Then the newlyweds and their guests enjoyed a beautiful reception at The Steam Plant.

One thing I absolutely love to do is work on creative editorials and branding sessions with my fellow Dayton and Cincinnati wedding vendors. When my friends from Blush & Bloom Weddings and Let’s Do Makeup and Hair told me what they had in mind for this editorial wedding photo shoot, I was beyond excited to be a part of it.

I am so excited to share a quick sneak peek from this past weekend’s wedding in Dayton, Ohio. This winter wedding was an absolutely dream. The blush, navy and gold details combined to make the perfect winter wedding color palette. Chad & Stella began the day with a beautiful ceremony at their church, surrounded by family and friends. Their reception was held at the Steam Plant in downtown Dayton, where they had a grand celebration. There was even a photo booth with live llamas because the bride absolutely loves them.

I am so excited to share a quick sneak peek from Lauren & Randy’s wedding this past Sunday. It was a beautiful fall wedding at the Estate at Sunset Farm. L & R tied the knot in front of their family and friends at their outdoor ceremony.

This past weekend was so beautiful. The first wedding of the weekend was to celebrate Natalie & Mike. They began the day at their church in Vandalia, where they tied the knot in front of family & friends. Then everyone ventured to the Orrmont for the wedding reception in their cathedral tent.

Yesterday’s wedding at The Estate at Sunset Farm in Dayton, Ohio was so beautiful. It was a warm, late summer day- the perfect type of a day for a wedding. Lane & Jake chose to have an outdoor ceremony at the edge of the woods. Having some shade during your summer wedding is key to keeping everyone comfortable- and for getting great photos. I am so excited to share a sneak peek from Lane & Jake’s summer wedding at The Estate at Sunset Farm! A huge congratulations to the Mr. & Mrs.! Wishing you a happiest ever after.

This elegant, styled picnic wedding editorial was absolutely gorgeous. I love the idea of having a more unique elopement that fits your personality, and this is clamping at its finest. There was a beautiful picnic spread laid out on a low table, with fluffy pillows for seating. If you are looking to have elopement photos done, or even just a few photos to announce your big news- this is a great idea for how to style it!

Sunday evening, Samantha & Charles tied the knot in front of their family and friends at the Estate at Sunset Farm. This venue is unique in that you can have your ceremony in so many different locations around the property. Samantha and Charles chose to have their wedding ceremony in the shade of tall trees, with the late afternoon light streaming through the branches. The effect was pure magic.
