We love getting to know our couples as Fort Wayne wedding photographers. And what better way to get to know each other than to spend an hour together during your engagement session?! Hannah and Jared were such a blast to get to know as we captured their spring engagement photos in Concordia Seminary Campus. Everything from the weather and blossoms, to the outfits and lighting was perfect. We can’t wait to share more with you!
Hannah & Jared
Hannah and Jared are such an adorable couple. Their entire Fort Wayne engagement session was filled with giggles and smiles. We especially love getting to know their love story and all of the wedding details! This fall they are planning for a Fort Wayne wedding, so they are in the thick of planning. Making this engagement session a nice time to step away from the chaos of wedding planning and just cut loose!
Pro Tip: If you are wanting to use your spring engagement photos for your save the dates and wedding invitations, then having an engagement session at least 6 months prior is ideal. It will take time for your images to be edited, as well as for the invitations to be ordered. By having your pictures taken as soon as possible, it is more likely that you will be able to use them with invites.
Spring Engagement Photos
Spring is such a great time for engagement photos! The newness of life and subtle warmth makes for a comfortable and beautiful session. Hannah and Jared especially loved the blossoms on the trees that lined the Concordia Seminary Campus. The delicate white and pink flowers gave their images a heavenly look, while adding variety to their gallery.
In addition to the beautiful spring weather and lovely campus, Hannah and Jared had great outfits picked for their spring engagement photos. The couple opted for an outfit change, and both looks were perfect for the location! Keeping the color palette neutral and simple, gave a minimalistic look while maintaining the focus of the images on Hannah and Jared. Their gallery is also cohesive even though they have variety in their outfits.
We are so excited for Hannah and Jared’s wedding this fall! And if you too are planning a Fort Wayne Wedding, reach out!

Spring is here, and we’re thrilled to be able to capture more incredible love, just like these two in downtown. These spring downtown Fort Wayne engagement session was such a blast, we got some visitors in this couple, they flew out just for their photos! Emily and Hayden are absolutely meant to be together, and bring out the best in one another. We just fell in love with them instantly!
Emily and Hayden flew out from the west coast to get their engagements taken, and it was such an honor. We love being able to work with couples like them, so laid back and genuinely good people. We were able to explore the fun that is downtown Fort Wayne, then went to the waterside, and lastly the bridge. Throughout their session it was important to show off the diversity of the city, and their fun-loving relationship.
First, we started their session downtown exploring the colorful murals found all throughout Fort Wayne. The artistic and colorful murals were a nice addition their spring downtown Fort Wayne engagement session. Emily and Hayden had a blast just being together, and were full of joy and laughter. We love, love! Later, we went to the waterside and one of our favorite bridges. It was fun to get some shots of them by the water since they are from the west coast.
After their spring downtown Fort Wayne engagement session, we went to the Landing Beer Company for some beers! Emily and Hayden are such a cool couple, and so fun to be around. They’re getting married later this summer, and we can’t wait. Congratulations to the happy couple!

Being Fort Wayne wedding photographers we don’t get to see much of the beach, so this session was an absolute dream. Throughout this beach engagement session, these two were so happy. Cori and Chels are some of the cutest people, and being able to work with them was a blast. Something about capturing love on a beach, doesn’t get much better than that! Between family time with Cori and Chels’ family, sunsets, and champagne, this session was incredible.
We decided to keep things as natural and unposed as possible to let the location and their love be the stars. Getting to wander around the beach, watch Cori and Chels walk through the water was an absolute photographer’s dream. Throughout the session we were able to keep these two laughing, and just enjoying the beautiful beach environment while celebrating their upcoming marriage. We got to pop some champagne and enjoy a beach sunset during this incredibly breathtaking beach engagement session. It was epic!
Although we are based in Fort Wayne and do majority of our shoots and weddings here, we are always down to travel! We love being able to work with couples wherever their love story takes them, so, when planning your big day, don’t hesitate to ask your team to travel! While our team consists of Corynn and myself, sometimes, you may see some of our other team members like our little girl at this shoot. Corynn and I love being able to take our kids to new spots and let them experience something new, while mom and dad get to do what we love!

Being Fort Wayne wedding photographers, we’ve had to learn to adapt to the weather changes throughout the year. Including snowy winters, which may intimidate some people – we love it! Throughout the winter season we love being able to showcase the beauty that can be found even in the coldest of temperatures. Sarah and Mitchell’s winter Fort Wayne Engagement session was a dream winter session. The snow played as the perfect setting for showcasing their love story.
Mitchell’s Family Farm – Winter Fort Wayne Engagement Session
When these two approached us about their engagement session we were so excited to be able to plan a winter session with them. Mitchell’s family owns a family farm, and we headed there for their snowy winter Fort Wayne engagement session. Throughout their session these two were filled with so much love and fun. Mitchell showed us some pretty perfect spots for their session and we even incorporated some of the farm’s architecture as a way to honor the family history there. It was a dream!
Later we went back to their home on the farm for some cozy hot chocolate pictures on the porch. Having a variety of spots for their session was just what we love to work with. It creates a whole new vibe for their shoot, while still maintaining the overall feel of the day. It was a perfect time to take a break from being in the winter snow. These two were such troopers and handled the cold so well, but you could tell they were relieved when it was time to warm up!
After some hot chocolate Sarah and Mitchell had an epic snowball fight, such a great way to end the day. We absolutely loved working with Sarah and Mitchell. The snowball fight was a great way to showcase their fun loving personalities. If you’re planning your engagement session and worried about the winter weather – don’t be! Although it was a little chilly, the pictures still turned out great.

As Fort Wayne wedding photographers, we get to work with some of the coolest couples from their engagements to their big day. Sara and Brandon’s downtown Cincinnati sunset engagement session was nothing short of incredible. We love being able to bring our couple’s love stories to life, and we did just that in downtown. These two are just an amazing couple, and if all couples could be like them, we would be happy photographers!
First we explored
Alms Park, for some elegant and classic outdoor engagement photos. Sara and Brandon dressed up for their Cincinnati sunset engagement session and it was the perfect touch to bring together the whole session. Throughout their outdoor session we used architecture found all over the park which made for some show stopping moments. Just as we were about to leave for downtown, the sun began to set. Later, Sara and Brandon held one another and enjoyed the sunset while we captured some pretty epic moments.
After their Cincinnati sunset engagement photos, Sara and Brandon changed into a more casual outfit for the downtown portion of their session. Later, Sara and Brandon showed us around town, as we took in the sights. As we explored downtown, the skyline was breathtaking, and a great way to showcase their love of Cincinnati. Nevertheless Sara and Brandon’s session was filled with laughter and appreciation for the beautiful city of Cincinnati. Later this year, these two are getting married in the summer in Fort Wayne and we can’t wait for their big day!
Cheers!
-Dustin & Corynn
