This park has to be the "Gem of Columbus"

We revisited this location because Doug and Sally absolutely loved the spot and the idea behind the images. To get this view I had to climb up on the opposite side of the bridge (typical Vitaliy move)

When I was told by Doug and Sally that they want both their wedding and engagement session pictures done in Columbus I of course immediately said: "Done!" I am shooting their wedding in March of 2023 so we had plenty of time to create these beautiful shots. Naturally easy going and excited to be together these two are an invincible duo. Every image shows how much love and care they have not just for each other, but also for their photographer :). After all it's not easy to follow someones direction without questioning the motives.

The Inniswood Metro Gardens delivered a beautifully manicured landscapes with a lot of natural components and boardwalks through the forest. Enjoy these beauties.

I love starting with portraits. They are excellent ice-breakers allowing us to bet acquainted immediately.

A little closer...

As we walked to the first spot I made sure all objects like phones and keys were in my pockets, you don't want photos with a giant phone in your pocket.

Now that I have us relaxed- the fun begins. We start out with an innocent directed shot.

Just a little direction and we are on our way to "Candidland"

And story told.

So we went to this spot and it ended up being soggy. No worries, Doug immediately realized it's time to carry his princess across the bog.

I love getting a close-up of anything beautiful.

This spot saw some more action that my couple got as part of hundreds of images that I delivered to them from this shoot.

We drive this session home with simplicity. A mix of portraits and candids, and following whatever my clients want.

Keeping eyes open like pro's... sunny photos are rad, but tough to get.

There, we revisit this bridge.

But this time it's different....

This time they are full of colorful emotions from all the love they experienced.
