Hi there! Welcome to the Catherine Milliron Photography blog, the place where my passion for photography, travel, and business collides.

I love serving and celebrating my couples on their happiest days and I love serving and celebrating other business owners as I share my knowledge and love of business education.

I hope you'll grab your favorite beverage (I'll be sipping a lavender latte) and stay awhile!

Best of 2018 | Catherine Milliron Photography

highlights

The best of weddings, engagements, and portraits from the best year for this little business yet. I love my couples and clients with my whole soul and it’s only because of them that I get to do what I do. I couldn’t be more thankful for each and every person who has allowed me to document their best moments this year.

My heart is so thankful + so full. So wonderfully full.

Ohio Fall Tall Dried Grass Field Sunset Engagement

engagements

My goodness – I love these two. You can tell that they’re not only the sweetest couple, but the best of friends. Danielle and Aaron are the most genuine – in their love for each other and in their love for the Lord. Their relationship is a beautiful celebration of the faithfulness of Christ in their lives and you can tell that sacrifice and faithfulness are the foundation of their love.

Fall Columbus Ohio German Village Engagement

engagements

My session with Brooke and Seth was just so much fun. We met up in the German Village district and spent the evening laughing as we walked the streets of downtown Columbus. They showed me their victory handshake they do when Ohio State scores a touchdown, Seth made Brooke twirl him in the middle of the sidewalk, and I definitely fangirled over them enough that Seth was rolling his eyes at me pretty consistently by the end of their session.

Navy and Gold Texas Discovery Gardens Botanical Wedding

weddings

If there ever was a picture perfect wedding day, it was this one. Heather and Javier’s wedding day welcomed the most beautiful November weather Dallas has to offer as they tied the knot at the Texas Discovery Gardens at Fair Park. Heather and Javier were surrounded by their nearest and dearest as they said their vows in an intimate ceremony on the lawn, followed by a brunch reception featuring a donut wall they crafted themselves.

Romantic Cleveland Waterfront Sunset Engagement

engagements

Taryn found me through instagram after I shot Mackenzie and Josiah’s stunning Cleveland Peacock Ridge Wedding this summer. She and her fiancé, Dan, were planning their Cleveland wedding for the fall of 2019, and after we chatted on FaceTime, I knew we were going to be fast friends. Even though we hit it off well on the phone, nothing prepared me for just how much fun we would have at their engagement session.

From our time at the willow trees lining the road by Taryn’s aunt’s house to the end of our session on the shore of Lake Erie, Taryn, Dan, and I laughed the entire time. Their chemistry was natural and effortless. They ran, played, kissed, and danced while the sun set over the water. The night was perfect and beautiful, as were these two. I can’t even wait for next fall and their October wedding day.

Playful Outdoor Late Summertime Ohio Engagement

engagements

They say that all you need is love. . . and these two have love in abundance. My heart kept melting during their session (and then all over again as I was editing) because the way they simply adore and cherish each other is so incredibly evident in their eyes. Nothing about the chemistry you see in these pictures was contrived; Michaela and Stephen simply loved just being together (and playing together – they did a lot of that too). Michaela and I met when we were randomly assigned to sit next to each other at a school banquet two years ago, and I couldn’t have been more excited when she reached out asking me to take their engagement photos. These sweet friends are currently dating long-distance as they plan their wedding for next summer: she lives in Florida and he lives in Ohio. When Michaela came into town for the weekend, we jumped on the opportunity to capture their love story in the place that brought them together.

Mulberry and Blush Cleveland Peacock Ridge Barn Wedding

weddings

Wowza. These two are precious, precious friends and their wedding was one for the books. I’ve been friends with Mackenzie and Josiah long before their Ohio coffee shop engagement session. Mackenzie was my roommate during my freshman year of college, and I could not imagine a man more perfect for her than Josiah. God 100% made these two for each other, and the way they cherish one another was evident in every aspect of their day.

Adiós to Comfort Zones

I don’t want to be safe.

That sounds horrible, I know. I don’t mean it in the way you are probably thinking…

How To Use Your Pixieset Gallery

business

I don’t know about y’all, but goodness, I am the WORST ever about printing pictures. Being a wedding and engagement photographer, you would think that I would have printed photographs displayed all throughout my home. However, the opposite of that is true. I spend so much time clicking and capturing photos, that I rarely take the time to print images to display. Truly, this is a tragedy, and I have seen this trend with so many other people around me – I know it’s noooot just me who has this problem! We download our gallery and change our phone wallpaper and facebook profile picture, but then our stunning photos stay simply as digital pixels, instead of becomingming meaningful, lasting, tangible memories as pieces of art in our homes.

Columbus Franklin Park Conservatory Engagement

engagements

Oh my lanta, where do I even begin with these two? They’ve been there through it all. They were the very first couple I ever photographed, and they were sooooo very very patient with me in my beginning moments, allowing me to practice on them as I grew. Over the past few years, my photography skills and business have grown and flourished, and so has their love for each other.

Destination Hilton Head Island Newlyweds Session

portraits

Since Jen and I connected online, I had never met Jen or Kohl before this shoot but the instant we met them, I felt like we were friends. These two got married only two and a half months ago, and their love for each other is SO very evident. They are passionate about Jesus and about each other – the whole time they were either talking about each other or their walks with the Lord. It was so sweet to witness!

Playful Summertime Massies Creek Waterfall Engagement

engagements

They started out as friends working in the same office and before we knew it, they were engaged. It has been so special getting to watch their relationship grow this year, and I cannot wait for their wedding in July.
