These beautiful faces may look a little familiar because back in April, Ashley, Corey, and I met for their Dayton, Ohio engagement session and we had such a great time! So much so that all three of us completely forgot that we planned to incorporate something that has meant so much to their relationship: marching band. It’s where they met, where they fell in love, and something that will always hold a special place in their hearts.

“We are going back to our roots in this shoot! Back in 2011, Corey and I met during high school marching band. A few weeks later, he asked me to be his girlfriend at picture day in full uniform. Before he could even get the words out, I said yes. We were only in marching band together for a year but that time meant so much to us. The bonds that we made in that time together grew as the years passed into something stronger than I’ve ever known. Music is such a great tool to bring people together, and in our case it brought us together for life. I am happy and blessed that I get to share that experience with everyone else!”

As a fellow Firebird, I love that we got to capture their story in true Fairmont fashion! Marching band gear never looked so good!

In high school Corey would always adjust Ashley’s helmet 🙂

Thanks for following along!
