For the first of today’s engagements, we met up with Ashleigh and Matt at Cox Arboretum in Dayton. We planned on getting some Fall foliage backgrounds and then some cool urban buildings in Downtown Dayton. We lucked out on the vivid fall colors at Cox, so we accentuated what Mother Nature gave us using our Off off-camera flash techniques.
After a couple of clothing changes, we drove to downtown Dayton where, fortunately, or unfortunately as the case may be, we didn’t have to look very far for run-down areas and cool buildings. These areas are very popular with local photographers because they allow for various colors and wall textures.
We look forward to photographing their wedding on December 31. Until then, here are some of my favorite images.
