NINA & LES | Engagement Photography | Providence Metropark & Oak Openings Metropark | Grand Rapids, Ohio & Whitehouse, OH
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, but our clients are THE BEST!
Nina and Les braced the -3-degree weather to get their gorgeous, river and forest engagement photos at Providence Metropark in Grand Rapids, Ohio and Oak Openings Preserve in Whitehouse, Ohio. Overlooking the scenic damn on the Maumee River during a crisp and foggy winter morning, these two were an engagement photographer’s dream!
When we reached out to Nina about her engagement photos, she said she wanted something wintery. Our team hopped on Pinterest to scope out some inspiration and found some photos from an India Earl winter engagement session. The couple was cozying up in the snow and the bride-to-be was popping out of the photo in a bold, red dress. We sent the pictures to Nina and she was immediately in. She even went out and bought a new red romper to complete the look! There is NOTHING better than a client who’s excited about their shoot and willing to try something fun with us.
Nina shared how Les proposed to her in one of their favorite Colorado vacation spots (complete with an incredible mountain backdrop), and we love how their engagement photos capture the same kind of winter vibes. The damn at Providence Metropark was perfect for emulating the crisp, white landscapes of the mountains and Oak Openings provided the green compliment to her bold, red garments. There is a reason we keep traveling back to Toledo Metroparks. The pictures truly do all the explaining. You know a location spot is beautiful if you can get the same emotion from the photography no matter what season it is. The couple themselves are laid-back, fun, and ready for anything. These pictures, though inspired by India Earl’s collection, embody the unique love and engagement of Nina and Les.
I love capturing unique images for unique couples and I can’t wait to do their wedding photography this June!

At this fall Oak Openings photoshoot with Saul and Paige, there was never a dull moment. During the entire session, we were laughing our booties off while exploring the colorful Toledo Metropark in Whitehouse, Ohio. On their first date, they went mudding with ATVs. (how fun?!) Afterward, they went to a friend’s house but as they were leaving, Saul’s car broke down.. and they had to push it back an entire mile. As they were pushing the car, they peaked the attention of a local police cruiser and were followed all the way back to their pal’s place. Paige ended up finding another ride home.
