Laura & John – Cleveland Winter Engagement and Chances

Laura and John take chances. Their winter engagement session in downtown Cleveland is proof positive. With the weather we’ve had, almost any day is a chance. When they first met, there was a lot of chance at play. A choice made differently could have lead to a very different outcome. Thankfully for them, all of the chances came up aces.

When they met, Laura had moved to Cleveland from Nebraska for a nursing internship. John was a resident at the same hospital. John took the first chance. He asked Laura out on the very last day of her internship. Normally, nurses can be a little skeptical of resident doctors. However, on the advice of a trusted friend, Laura gave John a chance. They went out on their first date and sparks must have flown. John spent the next day helping Laura and her sister pack her things for the trip back to Lincoln. Something stuck though.

Over the next few months, John and Laura kept in constant contact as a romance began. That brings us to today. Laura and John are happily engaged and planning a wedding for this summer. For their engagement session, we spent a little time in downtown Cleveland. We also headed for a more pastoral setting in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. We took a chance on the weather and everything worked out. We even caught just a fleeting moment of sunshine. Below are just a few of my favorites –

By the dockside – they look so smashing together.

Above are just a couple pensive moments – John in his car and Laura at the coffee shop.

From the moment I met them, I could tell that Laura and John really have fun together. He makes her giggle. Below you can see that they both keep each other laughing.

A quick portrait of just John. I asked for a serious face, so Laura danced in the background to get him laughing. She was right – laughing is better.

Laura is a true Husker fan. John, not so much. He’s more into soccer. I’m sure she’ll change that soon.

When I’m out moving around, I sometimes spot great locations for photos. I’ll simply add a location to my mental index and save it for just the right couple. The red barn above is one of those places. I saved it just for Laura and John. And they look so dashing here. Definitely a favorite! That’s all for today, but more is coming very soon. Until then, keep up with our current work on Facebook.
