Tatyana and Josh’s Cincinnati Engagement Session at Ault Park

The first time I met Tatyana and Josh, we were supposed to have a quick meeting in the park. That”quick” meeting turned well over an hour spent laughing and sharing stories. Their engagement session was no different! Tatyana and Josh are so fun to be around so it’s no surprise that their Cincinnati engagement session was one of my all time favorites!

We began our evening at Eden Park in Cincinnati. I loved that Tatyana and Josh picked Eden Park because they run there often! As we walked the grounds, Tatyana pointed out places where they’ve run together. It was really cool to get a glimpse into their life in such a cool city.

How fun is that? And what a perfect park for an engagement session or a wedding. Eden Park is stunning and I can’t wait to go back and explore more!Eden Park in Cincinnati Engagement PhotosEden Park in Cincinnati Engagement PhotosCincinnati sets on the banks of the Ohio River and Eden Park showed off with a stunning river view. So we made sure to make a quick stop at one of the overlook areas to soak in the city from a birds eye view!
Eden Park in Cincinnati Engagement PhotosOne of my favorite things about Josh and Tatyana is their joyful spirit. Once we saw this tree we all agreed it was amazing and needed to be used in their shoot. Seconds later, these two were in the tree! But it turned out to be a pretty tricky tree to sit on. The giggles and the determination to get this photo were unparalleled!
And speaking of that joyful spirit, these two are equally as adventuresome! Tatyana loves to box and Josh loves to rock climb! So when we came across a spot in Eden Park where Josh had rock climbed in the past, he celebrated with a back flip! How fun!

After we finished back flipping our way through Eden Park, we headed to Ault Park to finish the evening. Ault Park is beyond beautiful and it was buzzing with visitors. But we made it our own!

They are both passionate about their careers, but also their hobbies. Tatyana loves to work out and is a budding photographer! Josh loves Harry Potter which is an admirable quality in my book! They are genuine and kind. Smart and driven. And most importantly, so in love with one another!
