Caitlin & Ryan – Chagrin Falls Summer Engagement

It seems like every time I am in Chagrin Falls for an engagement session I end up tempting fate. Foolishly (or wisely?) I suggest to my clients that we meet at Jeni’s Ice Cream. If you pay any attention to this blog, then you likely know this already. For those that don’t know Jeni’s Ice Cream – it’s like the most delicious crack you’ve ever had. Highly flavored and extremely addicting. Needless to say, I met Caitlin and Ryan at Jeni’s to start their session as well. Thankfully, there was a little parking SNAFU, so we had to quickly abandon any idea of eating ice cream.

Once parking issues were sorted, we slowly eased into Caitlin and Ryan’s engagement session. We simply strolled through downtown Chagrin Falls, stopping to take some photos from time to time. We talked about work, wedding planning, and other recent happenings. As for the weather, it could not have been better. We’ve had this amazing string of gorgeous weather lately. We’ve had very little rain and almost no clouds, which is truly rare for northern Ohio. I’m certainly not complaining though. Even better, the sunny weather looks simply amazing on film, especially working near sunset as we did for Caitlin and Ryan.

Weather aside, I loved working with Caitlin and Ryan the most. Caitlin’s has an absolutely infectious personality. She’s has a great sense of humor and ease about her. Ryan is very much the same as well. I simply asked for his “blue steel” and he had it ready to go!

To finish the session, we headed out of downtown Chagrin Falls and into a nearby reservation. The sun was just beginning to set, and the sky was giving off some amazing peachy tones. It was the perfect end to a great session. I especially like the last photo below. I certainly hope you enjoy the few highlights below. For Caitlin and Ryan – I’m really looking forward to your fall wedding. October in Cleveland should be gorgeous!
