Romance in the Rain: A Cozy Engagement at Ohio State
Rainy days often add an unexpected charm to engagement shoots,
and Shivani and Jay’s session in Columbus was no exception. The overcast skies and gentle rain created a cozy and romantic atmosphere, perfectly complementing their love story.
We started the session at the Ohio State Campus, a location that holds a special place in their hearts. Both Shivani and Jay are proud alumni, and revisiting the place where so many of their shared memories began felt like a beautiful way to honor their journey together.
The familiar red brick buildings and lush greenery provided a meaningful and picturesque backdrop as they walked hand in hand, laughing and reminiscing.
One of the most magical spots we visited was Mirror Lake.
The rain added a soft shimmer to the water, and Shivani and Jay embraced the weather with such grace and joy. They exchanged playful glances and even stole a few kisses in the rain. Their chemistry was undeniable, and their willingness to fully lean into the moment made every shot feel authentic and full of life.
We wrapped up the session at a charming coffee shop that holds personal significance for the couple.
The warm and inviting space offered a lovely contrast to the rainy outdoors. Shivani and Jay shared a cup of coffee, their faces lighting up with every shared laugh and story. The setting was not just picturesque but also deeply sentimental, capturing the essence of their relationship—a perfect blend of comfort and connection.
Shivani and Jay’s engagement shoot was a testament to their love and resilience. They turned what could have been a gloomy day into a celebration of their story, showing that when you’re with the right person, every moment—rain or shine—becomes beautiful.
It was an honor to document this chapter of their journey, and I can’t wait to see the next steps in their adventure together.

Rain fell softly over Covington the day Rachel and Collin said “I do,” setting the tone for a wedding that felt equal parts timeless and cinematic. From lace details and long sleeves to downtown streets glistening, their day unfolded with quiet elegance and moody beauty—proof that sometimes, the most memorable love stories are the ones written under cloudy skies.
No matter which communication method you choose, the goal is to keep your crew feeling included, informed, and excited to support you. A little intentionality goes a long way—keep it simple, keep it clear, and don’t be afraid to have some fun with it. With the right rhythm and tools, your wedding party will be your biggest supporters (and best hype team) all the way through “I do.”
Weddings are about more than just beautiful details and unforgettable moments—they’re about connection. As much as couples look forward to celebrating with their loved ones, it’s the energy between guests that often makes the day feel truly alive. From the way you design your seating chart to the kind of entertainment and guest experiences you offer, thoughtful planning can create the perfect environment for meaningful conversation to unfold naturally. Whether it’s laughter shared over cocktails or heartfelt words exchanged between old friends, the right touches can turn a celebration into a lasting memory.
At the heart of every great wedding is the feeling that guests weren’t just attending—they were part of something special. When couples infuse their day with intention, personality, and little sparks of interaction, it sets the stage for stories, laughter, and genuine connection. Whether it’s a creative guestbook, a signature cocktail, or a surprise dance moment that brings everyone together, those small choices invite your guests to do more than celebrate—they invite them to engage. And that’s where the magic happens.
When it comes to planning your wedding day, one of the most overlooked—but incredibly impactful—parts of the process is building a thoughtful, personalized timeline. While some couples fear that having a structured schedule will make the day feel rigid or overly orchestrated, the truth is just the opposite. A well-crafted timeline is what actually gives you the freedom to be fully present. It keeps things flowing smoothly, helps prevent stress, and creates space for those spontaneous, joy-filled moments you’ll remember forever. Whether you’re working with a planner or relying on your photographer and venue team, your timeline is the key to a day that feels intentional, relaxed, and entirely you.
