Engaged : Brooke + Chris

Although these two are getting married this coming Saturday (eek!) I still wanted to make sure I shared their Engagement Shoot from just a few weeks ago with you as well. Brooke and Chris are the absolute sweetest, we had a lot of fun during this session. Chris had his doubts at the beginning but he did a great job, and Brooke, well, that girl just can't take a bad picture. Isn't she gorgeous? I am already excited to see her Saturday, no doubt she is going to look amazing.

Chris, don't worry, you're quite handsome, too!

Laura + Clay : Engaged

A few months ago, when Laura first told me about her and Clay's wedding, I knew I just HAD to be there. The theme? Vintage Carnival. I mean, how could you not get excited for this one? I love when brides think outside the box and make it fun and unique.

When it came time to meet again for their engagement shoot, I was a little weary when Laura told me she wanted her horse, Savanna, to be a part of it. I've been petrified of horses ever since I fell off one as a little girl and a recent equally traumatic experience didn't leave me wanting more horses in my life. Everything went great, though! I didn't cry (yes, that may have happened before...) and I we were able to get some amazing shots. The weather was absolutely perfect with clear skies and just the right temperature. In fact, I took so many photos that I had a hard time narrowing down my favorites for this post.

It's safe to say I will be counting down the days alongside Laura and Clay for their June 2014 wedding.

Congratulations you two!

I always crack up when I see the top right image - just the way Savannah is looking straight into the camera. Probably mocking me :)

Isn't Laura a total stunner? This girl knew how to work the camera, I hardly had to do anything! She is going to make a beautiful bride.

Engaged : Kacey + Jeremy

Kacey and Jeremy are from Indiana so when they gave me complete freedom to chose the location for their Engagement Shoot I jumped on the chance to shoot at Longworth Hall. This place has so much variety, we had a blast checking out the various spots. To mix things up just a tad more, we ended the session at Eden Park.

Kacey and Jeremy have known each other since High School but didn't start dating until College. I loved hearing all about how they met! They were absolutely adorable and not one bit camera shy, they're pros! I am super excited for their wedding next year and can't wait to take more photos of the two of them. Isn't Kacey just gorgeous? Jeremy is a lucky guy!
 

Aren't they the cutest? Congratulations you two!

Engaged : Reen + Ben

I am so incredibly behind on blogging all the sessions I have been doing lately. I feel like I am more involved with everyone else's weddings rather than my own but that's the life of a wedding photographer, I guess!

Here is one of the many Engagement Sessions I did earlier in the year. Reen and Ben are getting married this October at Xavier University's Bellarmine Chapel (even though they're both Dayton Flyers - gasp!) and I can't wait for their wedding! 

We found this little guy on our shoot and he was just the tiniest thing! I had to take a photo!
 

Reen and Ben chose to have their photos taken all around Downtown Cincinnati including Washington Park, Smale Park and Fountain Square. The weather was perfect and I had such a blast with the two of them. You know the couple you immediately feel like you could be friends with? That's Reen and Ben. They're just such genuine and fun loving people it's hard to be in a bad mood when you're around them.

Congrats Reen and Ben! Counting down til October!
