These cutie lovers made my heart SWOON during their sunset session in Cedarville, Ohio. As they laughed and played, their tender love for each other was so highly evident. Leslie kept giggling as she teasingly tickled her boyfriend and he worked hard (unsuccessfully) to keep a stoic face despite her antics. They are simply so comfortable together and cherish one another so well.

This day and this couple were both simply breathtaking. We adventured through downtown Columbus, OH, stopping to drink lattes and eat the MOST amazing cinnamon rolls ever at a precious local coffee shop, Fox in the Snow Cafe. Our wanderings then took us further into downtown to North Market, home to many local small business makers and growers, where they “adopted” a cheese baby together and admired the view of Ohio’s capital city. The prettiest view, though, was by far these two and their precious love for each other. You can see the gentleness in Jon’s love for Alyssa and her passionate love for him in every frame. This day was a dream.

I had the joy of photographing this sweet couple tonight. Hayden and Gracie have been dating since they were in high school and are finally getting ready to tie the knot in summer 2018. This evening we explored a state park as the sun set, these two lovers cuddling to stay warm as they laughed and talked together. Tonight was absolutely magical.
