Ashley and Corey are MARRIED!! We couldn’t be more excited for these two as they said “Yes” to forever this past Saturday! You may remember them from their University of Dayton engagement session or from session #2 in Indianapolis. We had so much fun the first time around we completely forgot to take pictures in their Band gear! They met in band so it was only fitting to incorporate that into their session 🙂

Jordan and Cameron’s Cox Arboretum MetroPark Engagement Session is live! When these two were dating they came to Cox Arboretum a lot and they almost got married here too (BUT instead they’re getting married at their families lake house in Tennessee! We’re PUMPED!) so it’s been a special place to them for years. As a result, doing their engagement session here was a no brainer! Hope you enjoy their session, I know I sure did!! 🙂

Proposals that are an *actual* surprise are the BEST…and are extremely hard to pull off!! Tyler convinced Lexi that they were going to Ault Park to take pictures of one of their friends getting engaged. Turns out that same friend landed in the hospital the day prior with food poisoning (don’t worry, he’s doing much better!!). Tyler convinced her that the proposal was still on…which was true 😉
