Capturing the Truth in Every Moment | Cincinnati Lifestyle Photographer
We had so much fun laughing together at Jack + Kayla’s engagement session. Ok, so maybe they were laughing at me but I’ll take it! Can we just take a minute and quickly talk about how beautiful their smiles are? One day, they are going to have babies with great teeth! I’m just saying…
This boy made me an aunt for the first time. I was 11 when he was born, the perfect babysitting age as he grew. I MAYYYY have even saved his life when he was choking on a sucker at the age of 3. And Joanna, who would have thought after all these years of being your youth leaders, your pastors, and your friends we would end up family? No one but Jesus saw this beautiful connection coming. It all boils down to this, I love you both so much and I’m so excited to see what Jesus does through your marriage. And I’m totally NOT tearing up as I’m blogging these images of your love.
Danny + Chelsea have been together for nine years and have never had professional photos taken! When Chelsea told me she wanted to do their photos in and around Danny’s home I was so excited. Engagement sessions should be all about the way you interact and capturing your love and I think there is no better way to do that than in a place where you are most comfortable. They are absolutely the most adorable couple and I cannot wait until their winter wedding in a few short months!
Holy eyeballs, Chelsea!!! Gorgeous.
Eric + Robbin are both from out of town. They’re getting married in Mississippi next year but, since they met and fell in love in Cincinnati, they wanted to capture their engagement photos in the city. Their love is so genuine and so tangible. Thank you for hanging out with me & allowing me to be a small part of telling your love story.
Sarah was my daughter’s kindergarten teacher last year. I’m still getting used to referring to her by her first name. When Jordan + Sarah showed up for their session I basically told them, “Just be yourselves and be cute.” Uhhhh they totally nailed it! Adorable overload coming your way!! Thanks for all you do Mrs. Bellanti + to Jordan for being a great supporter for, what I can only imagine is, an exhausting job! See you in a few weeks back at school! (Oh man, summer is almost over… insert mixed emotions).
As a photographer, sometimes you meet a new couple and you just click! I knew as soon as we sat down for coffee a few months ago that Jake + Becca + I were going to be a great team! I dig their style and their adorable relationship. They are so silly and fun together and totally comfortable with each other. I can’t wait to photograph their big day this Fall, it’s going to be magical!!
Good eye on this tree Jake!! This shot has to be one of my favorites from the whole session.
I have been looking forward to this wedding for over a year, not just because I knew it would be beautiful but because of these two humans. Scott + Erika. I’m at a loss for words because its hard to explain what they mean to me. You see, they are two of the most genuine, Jesus-loving people I know. They’ve sacrificed their own desires to glorify King Jesus. I’m not saying I was crying behind my camera during their handwritten vows, but I’m not saying I wasn’t either. I MIIIGHT have even cried when Studio 58 Media released their video a few days ago too. If you’d like to see more of their sweet, adorable, realest love you can check out their engagement session here.

Clay + Kaitlin’s big day was oozing with sweetness. I loved their love for each other. Their families were equally sweet and went out of their way to make sure my second shooter and I had everything we needed. Bonus: the Dr. Who themed items incorporated into their decorations! Yessss!!!
As I was walking into Tyler + Heather’s adorable home I noticed a table in the garage. I thought to myself, “I bet they play games out here, I already love them”. Guess what? I was right! At the end of our session I took a few shots of one of their favorite pastimes… Beer Yahtzee! Tyler has the scoring all computerized and they talk a lot of trash, isn’t their love so cute? I can’t stand it!!
Alex + Morgan are my kind of couple. They’re up for anything! The day of their engagement session was calling for rain all week and Morgan’s response was, “Let’s embrace the rain!” Well, it ended up not being rainy but they did explore a new (kind of muddy) garden, climb over a railing to get to this bridge, and maybe even face some fears about spiders and snakes to get these beautiful shots. Totally worth it!! You guys are amazing and I can’t wait to photograph your big day later this Summer. I can already tell its going to be a chill, go with the flow, kind of day.
Ps. THAT RING, AMIRIGHT?!
