Carrie and Kevin's sunset engagement session in downtown Cleveland

Carrie & Kevin – A Sunset Engagement Session in Downtown Cleveland – with a Blimp

Posted on Updated on Engagement

I was almost surprised by the longer evening hours. Yesterday it seemed like the sun was setting at 5:00 PM. Now, we don’t even start engagement sessions until after dinner. I’m certainly happy the evenings are bright again. The summer light is so beautiful. Sunset seems filled with tones of peach, honey, magenta and purple. The fast setting sun also lets loose brief periods of brilliant orange and blonde. For Carrie and Kevin, we started late deliberately to utilize the evening light. We kept going right past sunset because Carrie and Kevin made the light over downtown Cleveland look so amazing. Step inside for just a few favorites (and a blimp too).

Tricia & Todd – Engagement Session at the Height of Autumn

Posted on Updated on Engagement

Tricia and Todd picked the perfect day for their engagement session. It was sunny and unseasonably warm for the end of October. Their session was filled with brilliant sunlight and strong golden colors. It was nice to see them together at last. Through much of their relationship, Todd was stationed overseas and then spent time as a security contractor. Instead of going into detail about their session in Cleveland, I’ll let the six photos below sum everything up.

Annie and Derick's autumn engagement in Hudson, Ohio

Annie & Derick – An Autumn Engagement in Hudson, Ohio

Posted on Updated on Engagement

With most of my clients, I meet them for the first time for their wedding, and then we become friends. With Annie, it’s the exact opposite. We have known each other for years and used to work together. Thankfully, the old career is in the past, but I miss working with great people like Annie on a daily basis. I was over-joyed when she approached me about her wedding. Working for friends is always so rewarding. I met Derick for the first time at their engagement session, but I immediately understood why they are together. He is so genuine, for the lack of a better words, and a perfect fit for Annie. Step inside to see Annie and Derick’s friendly autumn engagement filled with golden colors.

Joanna & David – Sunny Thanksgiving Engagement

Posted on Updated on Engagement

I knew it was Joanna and David when they stepped out of the car. They were in town for Thanksgiving, and their engagement session. I meet most of my clients in person just as they start planning their wedding. Not so for Joanna and David, since they live in the Manhattan. We initially met and got everything booked through telephone meetings and email. When they arrived at the session, I knew the couple I saw was them because of their presence with each another. She leaned into his shoulder and laughed as they exited the car. He gripped her hand tight. Step inside to see how we found the perfect weekend for this traveling couple.

We originally met at a Starbuck’s in Avon. It was a quiet, fun conversation. From the start you could see that Victoria and Joshua are more than just engaged to each other. They’re engaged with each other. Best friends really. They listen to each other and laugh at each other’s jokes. They’re simply comfortable with each other, and in love. Step inside to see photos of these best friends, and their best friends.
