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.

Lexi + Josh — there’s something timeless about the way they love. A simple walk around the block felt like stepping into a memory in the making. Next June will be one for the books, and we can’t wait to see it unfold.

Robby + Malea make love look simple — not because it’s easy, but because they live it fully: with grace, kindness, and a heart to serve one another. There’s a tenderness and sweetness to their love that’s truly captivating. You can always tell when a couple gets what it means to love unconditionally.

What a joy it was to witness. Congrats you two!

The Dayton Art Institute holds a timeless kind of magic. No matter how often we return, the light always dances differently—illuminating quiet corners and revealing beauty in new ways. For Angie + Eric, the courtyard glowed just right, wrapping their intimate ceremony in warmth and love, and quiet joy. It was everything they dreamed of, and more!

One of our favorite 4th of July celebrations yet was Brien + Ashley’s rehearsal dinner at the stadium. It was an evening full of family, friends, baseball shenanigans. These two know how to throw a party and this is one we’ll never forget!

No stiff poses. No awkward prompts.
Just the two of you, being exactly who you are—laughing, wandering, holding hands the way you always do.

That’s where the magic is. Your real life, as it is, right now.

A stunning day at the Dayton Art Institute—where every corner held meaning, and every detail told a story.

Hand-made touches. Family heirlooms passed down through generations. Every piece carefully chosen, not for show—but for heart.

And in the middle of it all? Two people, surrounded by the people who made them who they are.

It was beauty. It was legacy. And it was exactly the kind of day we love to tell.

Cheers Carli + Ben!

Abbie and Caden aren’t just friends—they’re family. They first met when they each visited our church for the very first time, and it’s been such a joy to watch their journey unfold ever since. Now, as they step into marriage, our hearts are full. While Caden is off learning to fly fighter jets, we’re grateful for a few more months to love on Abbie. These two are an incredible gift to our lives, and we truly couldn’t love them more. We cannot wait to celebrate with the in December!

Here’s to the moms —

The ones who raised us, are raising littles, dreaming of future babies, or mothering in their own beautiful way.

The ones wiping tiny hands, zipping up gowns, calming nerves, and beaming with pride in every milestone moment — especially on wedding days.

Whether you’re holding a baby or holding space — your love is the quiet, powerful thread that weaves through so many of the stories I capture.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms and mother figures. You are seen, you are cherished, and you are so deeply loved.

There’s nothing more meaningful than capturing the moment two dear friends from church vow forever to one another. Kendall and Amanda’s wedding at The Willow Tree Inn was overflowing with joy, love, and the kind of connection that touches everyone in the room. Spring made its debut just in time, wrapping their day in soft sunlight and blooming beauty. It was truly a beautiful celebration of faith, friendship, and forever love.

Congrats friends!!
