This couple planned the most beautiful morning wedding on their family-own farm outside Dayton, Ohio. Using vintage thrifted pieces, handmade long floor tables, with pillows, rugs and blankets for their guests to sit on, the couple, along with their family, crafted a casual, yet aesthetically pleasing picnic brunch reception. From visually stunning charcuterie boards, to warm cinnamon rolls and a fun coffee cart, to all the vibrantly colorful flowers, their whimsical vision came together, creating a relaxed, joyful Spring celebration of their love.

Best Sunrise Spot in the Bay Area

In our opinion, Point Reyes National Seashore is the most beautiful place in the Bay Area. Its remoteness, as it’s “off the beaten path,” gives it a stillness, which also means its less touristy than other locations closer to San Francisco.

Ari & Isaac | engagement pictures at Cades Cove Smoky Mountains National Park

In June, we went on a family trip to the Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee and stayed at Cades Cove Campground. During our time there, we drove the Cades Cove loop several times, and seeing it in different light and times of day—sunrise and sunset—sparked a desire to bring a couple here for a full length engagement session or elopement. So, when Arianna reached out to us about location suggestions for their pictures, we were quick to share our longing to go back.

Romantic Engagement Pictures in a Treehouse

As dawn broke on this cold February day, the brisk southwestern wind whistled through the surrounding woodland, and the first light of day filled the tree house cabin with its warm good morning rays. Stephen started the morning by making Dagger Mountain Coffee pour-overs, and he and Kaity enjoyed the warmth of their mugs as they cuddled on the corner couch. The rest of the day was filled with music, worship and a little bit of forest dancing.

Yosemite Honeymoon Session

The last half of our session together was down in the Valley for sunset. What I love most about these images, is how relaxed they both were--at this point, it didn't seem like it was about getting the perfect photo, but rather, being present to and loving the moment that they were in. Josh and I both loved these moments with them and the entire day. In fact, our time and adventure with Amin and Nuraini was one of the most fun times we've ever had during our photography career.
