All around the world. Columbus Engagement Photography

Courtney and Chris.  Engaged.

We traveled all over the world for this engagement session.  At least that’s what you’ll think when you see the photos.

A wheat field, an amusement park, a golf course, Paris, baseball diamonds, a park, botanical gardens.  You name it, we were there.  Really, we just walked around downtown and fell into all of these cool little spaces.

Let’s start with the wheat field…

Then to the baseball diamonds..They stopped at the bar to have a few beverages to loosen up before the session.  Haha…look at Chris in the image on the left.  I think he’s quite comfortable in front of the camera.  They are SO MUCH FUN! Chris will do anything for Courtney.  Even let her lay on top of him in between a bike rack.  Even when he REALLY had to use the potty after those drinks he had.  Hehehe.Just so relaxed together…They are golfers.  🙂  Silly kids.  Real laughter = AwesomeCool shoe alert.
LOVE!  Chris did this all on his own.  So cute.Courtney…  YOU ARE SO ADORABLE!Reminds me of Paris.
Session fave…
And a fun carousel ride to top it off.

When and where is your wedding?

June 22, 2012 @ Pinnacle Golf Club in Grove City

How did you meet?

Courtney: We met at Coaches in Gahanna watching Chris Logsden play. I was there with a group of friends from work and he came was there with a mutual friend. This was not a set up, he was actually wearing an old t-shirt that said “one woman’s trash is another woman’s treasure” (classy, I know). We both had told our friends separately that we thought we had met each other before. To this day we have no idea why we both thought that. That night he took my phone number and we talked about going to some 4th of July cookouts together that weekend. He ended up calling me the next day, the rest is history. Who would have ever thought a night at Coaches would have led to this amazing love!

Chris: I met Court at Coaches in Gahanna on July 3 2008. My buddy Matt was asking to meet him out, but I was tired and didn’t feel like going out that night. When he told me there would be like 50 nurses there that changed my mind. Court was sitting across from me and I couldn’t take my eyes off of her. We started talking and decided to meet up for some 4th of July cook outs and the rest is history.

Tell us about your proposal!

Courtney: Well, Chris and I had been together for 3 1/2 years and a proposal was a popular conversation amongst everyone! I honestly thought he would wait until after the holidays because he would think that I would expect it around Christmas. Well, he outsmarted me. On Christmas morning we opened our Christmas presents from each other. He then told me there was another gift over by the tree. I didn’t really think there was anything else over there because I had everything all organized by which house we were taking it to throughout the day. Chris then directed me to the top of the tree, at that point I knew something was up. I couldn’t find anything though so he had to help me, the box had fallen in the tree. He then proposed. The best day of my life, so far….

Chris: I decided to propose on Christmas morning. I got up a 5 am to finish wrapping some gifts and start cooking, and I hid her ring box in the tree. When we were done opening presents I told her she had one more and had to find it. After a long game of hot or cold she couldn’t find it so I got it down for her and proposed on one knee. I had a speech all planned out, but she wouldn’t stop crying. It was the happiest moment of my life.

What’s your favorite thing about your significant other?

Courtney: My favorite thing about Chris is that no matter how long of a day I have had nothing makes me smile more than to come home to him. Everything just seems to be okay when we are together. Even if no words are said, the hug that I get from him at the end of a day still makes my heart melt.

Chris: My favorite thing about Court is her kindness. She is the most loving person I’ve ever known and I’m a better person for having her in my life.

What makes you guys unique?

We are both completely Type A personality but we get along great!

How did you find Crystal Jo?

Courtney: I had looked at many different photographers websites and couldn’t find someone that I totally loved their work. Crystal and I are both from Grove City and I knew that she was a photographer. Once I went to her site, I was in love with her work because it looked like she had fun with her clients and that was expressed in her work. After doing out engagement session and getting to know her better, Chris and I knew we had made the right decision. I told Chris the other day, it will be so fun because we can have Crystal Jo do all our “life” sessions (maternity, newborn, family etc), and his comment was “I think that goes without saying.”

Chris: Court found Crystal through some mutual friends.
