Love in the German Village: A Fall Schiller Park Engagement

Hannah & Will's Fall Engagement Session at Schiller Park

Hannah and Will's engagement session at Schiller Park in Columbus, Ohio was pure movie magic. The session was perfectly timed for Golden Hour, with a warm summer evening and buttery sunlight creating a scene straight out of a romantic comedy with a nostalgic 90s vibe. To capture this cinematic feel, I edited the photos in a filmic style, giving the gallery deep colors and rich, emotive light. Hannah looked stunning in a cream bustier dress with intricate beading. Will complemented her with a cool, modern look: chocolate brown pants and a textured cream shirt with loafers. Their elegant, coordinated outfits instantly elevated the entire session, perfectly setting the stage for their beautiful romance.

Bringing Their Love Story to Life

We used the park's most iconic locations to bring their love story to life. Every moment felt truly cinematic, from cozy cuddling beneath a Walnut Tree and sweet moments on the bridge over the pond, to the golden light dancing in the vine-covered amphitheater. They ended the session with joyous, epic twirls in the garden as the sun set. Hannah and Will's fun and romantic connection shone through every frame. This session was a treasure, and I can’t wait to photograph their 2026 wedding at Crockett's Run!

Alethia and Anthony’s engagement session in Old Ma Alethia and Anthony’s engagement session in Old Man’s Cave Gorge was gorgeous and a whole lot of fun. They rescheduled their original July date due to a loss in the family, but September brought ideal weather and lighting. Navigating Old Man’s Cave on a holiday weekend can be tough, but precise timing allowed us to dodge the usual crowds and practically have the gorge to ourselves. The couple brought amazing energy, complete openness to creativity, and great outfit coordination—choosing neutrals that popped against the deep greenery without clashing. It was also a treat connecting with Anthony, who is a photographer, and seeing the photos from his winter proposal!

Capturing authentic love stories in the Hocking Hills never gets old. If you are looking to plan your own session, I’m booking for 2027. I also have limited availability remaining for late fall and winter sessions between November 16th and December 20th—ideal for capturing cozy, seasonal light before the end of the year!
