π€π Sunrise Sneak Peeks for Ashton & Wade ππ€
Not every love story fits nearly into a box - and that's exactly what made this session so special.
Ashton and Wade traveled to Hocking Hills to celebrate Wade's 23rd birthday with a romantic getaway, and I had the privilege of joining them for a sunrise adventure at Old Man's Cave. From the moment we met, their connection was undeniable. They were playful, affectionate, completely comfortable together, and so clearly in love.
I absolutely loved that they embraced their unique style and showed up as their authentic selves. Their coordinating purple and black outfits, adorned with skull details, perfectly reflected their personalities and created such a beautiful contest against the lush green forests and sandstone cliffs of Hocking Hills.
One of my favorite things about photography is telling your story - not creating a version of who someone thinks you should be. Ashton and Wade did exactly that, and the result was pure magic.
We spent the morning exploring, laughing, and creating images that felt genuine to who they are as a couple. By the end of our adventure, we were already talking about their future wedding, and I couldn't be more excited about the possibility of documenting the next chapter of their story.
Happy 23rd Birthday, Wade, and thank you both for inviting me into such a meaningful celebration. π€
I can't wait to share more from this incredible sunrise session soon!
