Downtown Cincinnati Engagement Session

filed in:

Downtown Cincinnati will forever be one of my favorite spots for engagement sessions. Having grown up in the area, we came to Cincinnati for everything. So, when I started doing photography I always gravitated toward downtown. Now, since moving away it’s always such a treat when I get to do a session in Downtown Cincinnati.

When Olivia + Cole booked me for their wedding, she almost instantly suggested she wanted to do her photos downtown. Olivia sent me a beautiful Pinterest board with amazing documentary vintage vibes (pro tip – Pinterest boards help SO MUCH). After deciding on a date and picking out a few locations around Downtown Cincinnati – we were both SO DANG excited for the shoot to get here.

Olivia + Cole had three different outfits and three different locations picked out, one of which was Findlay Market, which is easily one of my favorite spots downtown. The other two were a spot near her work and The Hilton Netherlands Plaza, which made for a perfect mixture of aesthetics for their session.

Veil: Vintage

Dresses: Princess Polly

Shoes: Loeffler Randall

Florals: Gia and the Blooms

To me photography has never really been about how a moment looked. It's always been about how it felt to be there. Inspired by nostalgia, human connection, and the quiet in between moments that most people miss, I shoot on digital, 35mm film, and Polaroids to create something that feels timeless, warm, and entirely yours.

Honest, artful, and entirely yours.
