Play Together. Stay Together. Columbus Engagement Photography

Meg and Dom.  Engaged.

Meg laughs at all of Dominic’s jokes.   I love that about her. Isn’t this just lovely?!?
It was sprinkling at the beginning of our session.  My strobe umbrella came in quiet handy.  Until I left it hiding behind a car in one of the parking lots we were shooting in down in the Short North.  I went back for it after the session ended and was (happily) shocked it was still there!  These two really are meant for each other.  Perfectly complimenting in every fashion.  He makes her laugh.  She makes him smile.  The perfect match.
And SO MUCH FUN!

Run Lola Run.  Ha!  A little tidbit…I watched this bizarre movie in German class in tenth grade.  I’m not sure why…but these running photos make me think of it.  Love Meg’s crazy hair.
I love her feet.  And her hair.  So cute.  My session fave.

The couple that plays together, stays together. Duh.
I’m in love with all of these playground photos!
This is the only behind the scenes shot I have to share.  Do you see me?!  These were some very fun shots to capture.  Also VERY SCARY!

How did you meet?
Dom: We met through some friends about 7 or 8 years ago.
Meg: We met through friends in college… it seems like a lifetime ago!

Tell us about your proposal!
Dom: I was going to propose to her while we were on vacation in the Dominican this past March, but the more I looked into it, there was too much risk of security finding the ring and spoiling the whole thing. So, I decided to do it right before. A couple days before we left, I had told her I was going out with some friends that night and instead I was at her apartment waiting for her on one knee. As soon as she open the door I was there and surprised her. She couldn’t believe it was happening.
Meg: It was a total surprise! In 4 years he has never surprised me… so when I got home from work and he was in my apartment on one knee I was speechless. I think I said “is this really happening??” 5 times! haha

When and where is your wedding?
April 13, 2013 at the Valley Dale Ballroom

What are you looking forward to the most about your wedding day or being married?
Dom: Being officially married and getting all of our friends and family together. It will be a great time.
Meg: I am looking forward to officially becoming a part of his family. I am so lucky that his family loves me just as much as my own! No crazy in-laws for us! Well maybe a little crazy, but the good crazy 🙂

What’s your favorite thing about your significant other?
Dom: I would have to say her smile. It is the most genuine smile I’ve ever seen.
Meg: He makes me laugh!

What makes you guys unique?
Dom: I don’t think we are that unique, but I think we definitely fit the “opposites attract” category. We both are different in many ways, but it all works out great obviously =)
Meg: I’m not sure that we’re all that different from everybody else! We love each other and we like to laugh and have a good time.

How did you find Crystal Jo?
The Walker’s… I (Meg) have known them since elementary school and have seen the photos you have done of their milestones (and LOVED them!). When we got engaged, it was one of the first things I thought of!

(Dominic was a groomsmen in Justin and Raewin’s wedding.  So…he’s been in front of the Jo Foto camera before.)
