Behind the Scenes: 2019

highlights

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.

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??).

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.

John Bryan Sate Park Wildflower Engagement

engagements

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!

Ohio Local Coffee Shop Engagement

engagements

Goodness gracious, I’m convinced these two are secretly models. Mackenzie was my freshman year roommate, and I couldn’t be more excited for her to marry the man of her dreams in August. Josiah treasures her so very deeply, and you can tell in the way he speaks of her, looks at her, and sacrificially cares for her.
