The Fort 614


Carly & Evan | An Industrial-Chic Engagement with a Cozy Finish


Carly and Evan’s engagement session was the perfect blend of modern edge and personal charm—just like them. We started our evening at The Fort 614, an industrial event space in Columbus with clean lines, raw textures, and just the right amount of grit. With Carly being an architect and Evan an engineer, the space felt like an intentional nod to their world—structured, thoughtful, and full of purpose.


As we explored the venue, I couldn’t help but notice how natural they were together. The way they moved through the space—laughing, holding hands, exchanging glances—it was effortless. Carly brought her architectural eye into every detail, from how she styled their outfits to how she interacted with the space. And Evan? A calming presence and steady support. Their energy together was grounded and strong, but still playful in the best way.


After wrapping up at The Fort, we headed back to their home for a more intimate second half of the session. There, we were joined by the real stars of the show—their pups! Tail wags, cozy corners, and their favorite drinks in hand made for some of the most candid, joy-filled moments of the evening. It was the perfect ending: relaxed, personal, and full of love.


Carly and Evan, thank you for inviting me into your world for a night. From industrial charm to dog snuggles, your session was so you—creative, intentional, and rooted in a beautiful partnership. I can't wait to capture your next chapter.
