From Home to Bloom: Francis & Alyssa’s Cincinnati Engagement


This past summer, we had the joy of photographing Francis & Alyssa’s engagement in Cincinnati, Ohio. Their session was filled with love, laughter, and the sweetest in-between moments that made the day unforgettable.


At Home with Francis & Alyssa 🏡


We began the session in Francis’s apartment, where the walls already hold so many of their memories together. From laughing in the kitchen to cozy moments on the couch, the photos captured the everyday love that makes their relationship so genuine. These intimate, at-home moments gave us a beautiful glimpse of who they are as a couple—comfortable, joyful, and completely at ease with each other.


Among the Flowers 🌸


Afterward, we stepped outside to soak in the golden light of a Cincinnati summer evening. Surrounded by blooms and greenery, Francis & Alyssa shared quiet smiles and playful laughter that seemed to dance with the breeze. The gardens framed them perfectly, but it was their connection that truly shined through every frame.


A Thank You 💍


Francis & Alyssa, thank you for welcoming us into your home and letting us be part of this exciting chapter in your story. It was such an honor to capture the love you share—both in the comfort of your apartment and in the beauty of Cincinnati’s summer gardens.


Here’s to all the joy ahead on your journey to forever. ✨
