Canyon Run Ranch Wedding in Early Fall

Chase and Karina held the most beautiful early autumn wedding at Canyon Run Ranch.

The ranch itself has everything—from wildflowers fields to waterfalls to a woodland area perfectly cleared for a ceremony space. For Chase and Karina’s wedding, the raw and wild ceremony arbor was adored in hanging florals, and at the entrance to the aisle stood a doorway of hanging white petals. The owners of the ranch, Amy and Gary, have a keen eye for design, and created the arbor—it stands ready for all their couples; and the Twilight inspired floral installation was beautifully crafted by the flower goddess Flohemian Floral.

'The Wedding Tree' Jackson Hole Wyoming Elopement

Bri & Matt planned a destination elopement to Jackson Hole because of how special of a place it is to them. They visit several times a year, both for winter skiing and for summer hiking, so it just made sense to them to say their vows in this breathtaking place. They picked an early summer date so that the meadows would still be filled with wildflowers and their favorite range would still be outlined in snow.

Engagement Pictures at Old Man's Cave

For the second part of our session together, we ventured down the trail from Old Man’s Cave to Lower Falls and back. Melting ice sickles still lined the outcroppings so we had to proceed with caution, but as a result of these conditions, the water was a beautiful, milky blue. In the summer, like most Ohio waterways, the creek in this canyon turns murky and muddy, so seeing it this pristine was a treat.

Golden Hour Anniversary Photos in Dayton Ohio

We love engagement sessions—couples are so eager and excited about starting their lives together, and it’s always a special time to share in with our couples. But there is just something so powerful about working with couples whose relationship has already stood the test of time. Michelle and Marco have been together for twelve years, and at the time of the session, married for four. Relationships take hard work, and they were so candid about their own struggles to make it to where they are today. Because of their willing openness, we were able to create authentic environments that in turned helped us create images personal to them.

Backyard Fall Wedding in Cincinnati

Melanie always dreamed of getting married at her childhood home, but with the amount of people they knew that they wanted to include in the celebration, she never thought it would be possible. However, because of the pandemic and the need to cut the guest list short for everyone’s safety, her childhood dream actually became a reality.

Melanie & Josh held their lovely intimate ceremony next to her parent’s home on top of a hill that overlooks a stunning view of the lake. It was a pleasantly clear and warmer day for mid-October, so the sunset gave off a beautiful glow through the peak fall foliage that lined the driveway.

Engagement Photos at John Bryan State Park

The light, accented by wild roses white, draped golden through summertime foliage, and the seamless air welcomed us to run and dance and laugh, spinning joyfully like the leaves of John Bryan’s trees.

Yellow Springs, Ohio is surrounded by beautiful nature parks, seas of wheat, and whimsical charms. It created the perfect environment to celebrate Seth & Hailey’s engagement with these photos.

Beautiful at Home Wedding in Rural Indiana

The song of katydid greeted the morning, and fireflies lit up the humid June night like twinkling stars. From dawn to dusk nature surrounded the day. Open fields dotted in golden wisps, and winsome shade foliage, like giant hosta and fern, joined the narrative. At sunset, puffy clouds turned into a sky garden resembling pink peonies in fullest bloom.

Even the house, where everyone got ready, fit perfectly into the enchanting storybook like scene. It used to be a barn, but an artist remodeled it into a home plumb full of whimsy, adding creative elements, but leaving the rustic charm.
