A Classic and Timeless Engagement Session at Columbus City Hall
This afternoon’s engagement session in Downtown Columbus, Ohio was the perfect blend of timeless elegance and modern editorial style. Framed by the stunning architecture of Columbus City Hall, this shoot felt effortlessly elevated from the very first click.
The future bride and groom chose a black and white wardrobe combination — simple, elegant, and always in style. The neutral tones of City Hall offered the perfect backdrop, letting their connection shine while allowing the styling details to pop.
Adding a bit of personality, the couple slipped on chic sunglasses that gave the session a playful and fashion-forward flair. It was a subtle nod to editorial trends while still feeling authentically them.
On-Trend Details That Elevated the Session
One of the standout additions was a custom "We Are Getting Married" magazine, one of the most exciting 2025 engagement session trends. More than just a stylish prop, the magazine gave us a chance to slow down, pose creatively, and showcase the couple’s story in a fun and unique way.
We also captured motion-blurred, paparazzi-inspired shots as they walked confidently across the street — the perfect balance between candid and curated. These images brought movement, energy, and a touch of city-chic edge to the gallery
Ending the Session with a Champagne Pop
To wrap things up, the couple uncorked a bottle of champagne for a celebratory champagne shower shot. As the golden light poured in and the champagne burst into the air, we captured pure joy — a sparkling, unforgettable moment to mark this exciting chapter.
