Peaceful Winter Engagement at Washington Park
Winter in Cincinnati is always special, but there’s something magical about it when it’s captured through the lens of two people in love. Chelsea and Ben’s engagement shoot at Washington Park was exactly that
—pure magic.
We met on a crisp, overcast day, the kind of winter day that feels serene and quiet.
The cold meant the park was nearly empty, giving Chelsea and Ben the perfect opportunity to explore it all without any distractions.
It was like they had the entire park to themselves, and we took full advantage of the peaceful atmosphere.
The wintery chill didn’t dampen their spirits at all. In fact, it made for some beautiful moments that will last forever. Their fun, relaxed energy made the shoot feel like a breeze, and their classic style was a perfect match for the winter backdrop.
One of the most memorable moments of the session was when we shot under the
ICONIC GAZEBO,
the very place where Ben had proposed to Chelsea. It felt full-circle, capturing new memories in the same spot where their journey to forever began. You could see the joy in their eyes, the same joy that has filled their lives ever since that moment.
These two are the definition of timeless and classic, both in style and personality. The love between them was obvious throughout the shoot, and we couldn’t be more excited for their
upcoming wedding.
Chelsea and Ben’s
engagement photos are a perfect reminder that no matter the season, love is always in the air. Their day was simple yet beautiful—just like them—and we are so thankful to have been part of it.
Here’s to more beautiful moments, laughter, and love ahead!

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.
Haley and Griffin’s wedding day was the perfect blend of sweetness, energy, and effortless connection. From getting ready at the timeless Lytle Park Hotel to rooftop portraits that felt straight out of a movie, their love took center stage in every moment. The indoor ceremony at Drees Pavilion was full of emotion, followed by candid skyline portraits and a reception that radiated pure joy. Every detail felt personal, every glance between them genuine—and their day was a true reflection of what it looks like to be fully present in love.
