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!

Wine + Tan Rosedale Bible College Winter Wedding

weddings

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. […]

Navy Autumn Little Brook Meadows Wedding in Columbus

weddings

Christina and Josh got married this past fall at Little Book Meadows in Columbus, OH. I love shooting at this venue (check out Hannah + Michael’s wedding I photographed there almost a year ago!) and it provides a whimsical, country-feeling backdrop for lighthearted wedding days.

Modern Columbus Ohio Ariel Foundation Park Wedding

weddings

Brooke and Seth got married at Ariel Foundation Park’s Schnormeier Event Center on the most gorgeous late summer day, and let me tell you, it was magical. Everything about their day was perfect – from the gorgeously coordinated dresses, to their tear-filled prayer together before walking down the aisle, to their spontaneous exit lit by the phone flashlights of their closest friends. Every part of their wedding was true to them: the best man brought a picture of young Seth to show-and-tell during his speech, Brooke made sure all her wedding guests wished her sister happy birthday on her wedding day, and together they danced the night away with their nearest and dearest.

Elegant Columbus Museum of Art Military Engagement Session

engagements

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.

Ohio State Football Stadium Surprise Proposal

portraits

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.

Ohio State University College Campus Senior Portraits

portraits

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.

Downtown Columbus Short North District Engagement

engagements

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.

Adventurous Dallas Texas 2019 Senior Portrait Sunrise Session

portraits

I’ve known Kayleigh for what honestly seems like forever. I met Kayleigh when she was probably 8 years old, and gosh, she’s honestly become family to me. I always call her my sister, and her family is my “second family.” Her family were the first ones to let me take their portraits back when I firstttt got my camera in high school (bless their hearts – they were SO kind to me and loved their pictures even though I made them all wear purple and stand barefoot in a park…what on earth was I thinking haha??).

The Bridesmaid-Photographer: How to Shoot a Wedding…And Be In It

business

Once upon a time, one of my dearest friends in the whole world asked me to be in her wedding. Saying yes to being a bridesmaid in Megan and Jay’s Michigan winter wedding was one of the easiest decisions I’ve ever made. Then, Megan asked me another question – if I would also do double duty as her wedding photographer. My initial gut reaction was to excitedly say yes, but then my logistical side started panicking. Was it even remotely possible to be a photographer AND a bridesmaid??

Columbus Hayden Run Falls Sunrise Engagement

engagements

Christina and Josh are by far one of the most adventurous couples I have shot to date. They arrived to their sunrise session at Hayden Run Falls on one of the chilliest winter mornings. There was frost everywhere and we could see our breath in the air, but that didn’t dull their enthusiasm in the slightest. They cuddled together closer as we shot to keep warm and they so naturally laughed and played with each other as their love for each other came to life in front of the camera.

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.
