The Brauns

The Brauns Natural. Honest. Artistic. Wedding Photography With Soul WE'RE THE BRAUNS AND WE CAN'T WAIT TO TELL YOUR STORY. Our job is to capture you and your story.

We live in a cozy home in Dayton, Ohio, with our two amazing kids and our dog. We've been working as a team for over six years (we've been married for over eight!), and we have photographed hundreds of weddings together, not to mention countless engagement sessions. We're passionate about creating jaw dropping images, but not at the expense of being real. People often describe our photos as "natur

al" and "authentic," and that couldn't be more of a compliment. Over the years we've learned how to read our couples, to communicate our vision, and to encourage real, emotional connections in front of the camera. We are available for travel throughout the state of Ohio and nationwide. Our passports are always valid, and we love to travel.

It may be snowy outside but we are already planning for the warmer days.

As much as we are in the moment on your wedding day, behind the scenes we are months ahead. Scheduling shoots, preparing day of schedules, meeting with planners, all while leaving room for our kids, each other and our community. This life is so full but it is full in the best way!

Leaving you with a handful of black and whites from Kate + Nick’s winter wedding and signing off to enjoy Christmas break with our family and friends.

18 years!!

This has been a year of ups and downs and turnarounds. There have been more tears, laughter and a deep sense of gratitude more than ever this year. We have peeled back new layers and have great anticipation for the fruit that is to come from it. Through it all I know that our love is steadfast, filled with grace and a new sense of humility. Today and every day I still choose you .

May our marriage always be one that reflects the Divine Love that always protects, always trust, always hopes and always perseveres.

Engagement sessions can be whatever you want them to be. You can dress in your best, snuggled up at home in your coziest pants, on a kayak at your favorite lake or in the back booth of your go-to spot. We just ask that they be you!

Spending the evening wandering through Over the Rhine with Conner + Liz felt like we were hanging out in their own back yard. They were at ease, full of laughter and confidence. Living just down the road this park has become a go to place for them, and they had the stories to go with it. Dressed to the nines, we started with casual beers in Washing Park. Then to take it to the next level of them we then wandered over to Skyline to finish the evening off with one of their favorite causal meals.

Keep it light, keep it real, keep it YOU!

There’s something special about the in the colder months. We have been here for many late fall and winter weddings. No matter the size of your guest and no matter the temps outside, there is an intimate warmth that fills this space.

After a handful of weddings of Young Life couples, we can truly say “there ain’t no party like a young life party”.

While their reception was already so full of family and friends, Tessa + Robbie wanted to find a way to invite many of the high schoolers they have come to cherish through working with Young Life into the evening . Around 8:00pm, this amazing group of high schoolers showed up to the reception and brought some big energy to the party. The celebration levels were back on top and the dance floor was literally jumpin’ for another 2 hours.

Were said it before but the legacy these two are creating for the sake of The Kingdom is inspiring. They are deeply beloved by all.

A ceremony centered around worship and adoration. This is how it should be. During Tessa + Robbie’s ceremony their pastor asked everyone who had been impacted by their involvement in Young Life to stand up. Nearly half the room did! What an amazing legacy to launch a marriage from. The Lord has clearly used Tessa + Robbie in the lives of many, we cannot wait to see what he does with their marriage!

And of course we joined in with the signing and all the happy tears at the end, how could we not?

The peaceful, steady joy is how we would describe the morning hours of Tessa + Robbie’s wedding day. There’s something that the coolness of Fall, quaint small towns with back country roads and comfort of getting ready in a family home that allows the day to start this way. Robbie + Tessa both spent their last moments before the ceremony having moments of prayer with their loved ones. We cannot imagine a better way to step into something so sacred and forever.

This is just the beginning of the most perfect day.

One of my favorite things on a wedding day is to observe all the love and devotion that flows through the day. From bridesmaids who completely adore the bride, groomsmen who are just as hyped as the groom, parents beaming with pride and joy as they walk down the aisle, ceremonies overflowing with guest from all parts of life, and cheers of celebration going well into the evening.

This was Hunter + Zac’s day. There’s no doubt these two are deeply loved by many.

Getting married during a hurricane is not what Emily + Evan had planned but with the support of their family and friends they were able to pivot seamlessly. The rain and the wind came and the celebration still went on!
