This wine and tan Rosedale Bible College winter wedding is filled to the brim with holiday magic. Kelly and Aaron got married just ten days before Christmas and their winter wedding was absolutely dreamy. The bridesmaids’ wine dresses and the groomsmen’s tan vests perfectly complimented the winter scenery at Rosedale Bible College in Columbus, Ohio. […]

Kelly and Aaron took their engagement photos a week before their gorgeous December wedding at Rosedale Bible College. They chose Oakes Quarry Park as the backdrop for their romantic sunset engagement session.

This year was simply too good for words — so I put it in a video instead.

Thank you for an absolutely wonderful year.

Happy new year, dear friends!! And what a year it’s been. 2019 was a wonderful one for Catherine Milliron Photography, and since it’s been such a fantastic year, I figured it was only fitting for me to round up all the best behind-the-scenes photos I could find. 

There are candids, bloopers, inside peeks at a wedding day — everything you could ever want! From grainy cell phone pics to spontaneous photos with tourists in Philadelphia, this gallery has a little something for everyone. 

Held against the stunning backdrop of Christ’s Church in Bellbrook, Hanna + Jonny’s gorgeous fall wedding day in midwest Ohio was one of my favorites to date. From the perfectly curated florals that complimented their cabernet and charcoal color scheme to the elegant simplicity of Hanna’s dress, every element of their day was not only beautiful but was also personalized to the two of them and their relationship. Together they led their closest family and friends in worship during their ceremony, and there were many tears shed as their entire bridal party sang along with them during a special music feature. Then, during their reception, they had an open mic time where guests told their favorite memories with the bride and groom and shared well wishes for their future together.

Emily is one of my dearest friends from college. Not only did we become fast friends at our job in the admissions office of our university during my freshman year, we also share the same home state (the greatest home state, may I add – the great state of TEXAS y’all). So even when we were out of school for the summer, we actually spent a whole summer of college both living in Dallas and it was such a special season. Even though we’ve both graduated, we have still kept in touch, so when I hosted a brunch for Christmas this year, I knew I wanted Emily there.

I think this might actually be the longestttt wedding blog post I’ve ever written (so grab a snack and get ready for ALL the wedding prettiness) but it’s truly just because Hannah and Mike’s stunning wedding day at Little Brook Meadows in Lancaster, Ohio was just so full of precious moments that I couldn’t help but share with you! The whole week leading up to their wedding the forecast showed rain, so Hannah and I were frantically texting about rain plans and praying for good weather, and when their big day arrived it was sunny and beautiful. This elegant venue outside of Columbus provided the perfect backdrop for these two to say “I do” in front of all of their family and friends.

Honestly, I don’t think there is anyone better to tell you about Jill and Cory’s love story than Cory himself. He found me through Instagram and when he inquired with me about shooting his surprise proposal at Ohio Stadium (home of the Buckeyes!), he had the sweetest words to say about their relationship, and the significance that Ohio State University holds to both of them.

Phoebe is a vocal music education major, and part of her degree requirement for graduation is that she must perform a senior recital. I remember that life alllllll too well (since that was me literally eighteen months ago), so when she reached out and asked me to take her pictures for her senior recital, I thought I knew exactly what she had in mind. Most senior recital pictures feature someone in a long flow dress standing in the middle of a field of tall grass somewhere, but not Phoebe. She said she wanted something different, unique, and edgy. So we set out to make that vision come to life.

I met Hannah and Mike through another one of my precious 2019 couples, Christina and Josh. When I first met these two, I knew we were going to be fast friends. We spent their engagement session in downtown Columbus in the Short North district, laughing and dodging the crowds of people as they danced and hugged in the middle of the bustling city. They were so sweet and loving towards each other, and they were willing to adventure and try new things – they even stood in the middle of moving traffic so I could snap a long exposure shot, freezing them in time.
