It was just Kaye, her mother and I when we first met. We sat in my office and talked about their upcoming wedding at the Union Club in downtown Cleveland. We even started to discuss the engagement session. It was clear to Kaye that the session had to start at her family home along the lake shore in Lorain, Ohio. It seemed like a perfectly fitting place to me. Little did I know at the time just how amazing their home would be. More so, little did I know how awesome Kaye and Nathan would be together.
I left early for the engagement session, but arrived on time. I’m not saying I got lost on the way, but something slowed me down. When I did arrive, I was greeted by Kaye and Nathan as we stood in front of the most gorgeous lake shore home for miles. When we were ready, we slipped out the back and down the grass-lined stairs to the beach. While there were clouds, the location could not have been better.
And Kaye and Nathan looked brilliant together – calm, relaxed and clearly in love. They truly made it easy on me. Nothing could have gone better.
Below are just a few highlights to enjoy –

The last black and white photo with it’s extra large grain seems rather poignant to me. For those who are curious, this engagement session was predominantly captured on film, with some digital. Even more specifics – I used Fuji Pro 400h medium format. Enjoy!
