Hanna + Jonny are one of the most gentle, genuine couples I have ever met. They danced together in the wildflowers as the sun set in John Bryan State Park, a local nature reserve in Yellow Springs, Ohio, outside of Dayton. They recently got engaged after dating for years, and their outdoor engagements are warm, playful, and sweet – just like the two of them. I loved spending the evening capturing their precious love for each other. Congratulations Hanna and Jonny!

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.
