Each and every one of my clients are unique. They’re uniquely beautiful, smart and loving. Their weddings are as unique as their personalities. Kelsey and Zak’s uniqueness rises to a slightly different level and in a wonderful way. Like so many of us, they have a house, a dog and a solid relationship. But there is so much more that sets them apart.
When we met on the courthouse steps, we took a few minutes to shake off the nerves. It’s not unusual for couples to arrive a little nervous. Truth be told, I was a little nervous as well. Maybe nervous isn’t the word. “Amp’ed” might be the better term. After chatting for a few minutes, we calmed down a bit and got started. Normally, the first few photos don’t make the selection because the nerves show. This was not the case for Natalie and Sean’s engagement session in downtown Cleveland. Something was definitely different. Inside are a few favorite photos from this engagement session that started with a bang.
It’s not often I have a chance to do a nice family portrait session. And it’s even more rare to do a session for a friend. That’s why I was so excited to work with my friend, Sarah. She was looking to do some family photos with her wife Melissa and son Julian, and I jumped at the opportunity. By why be so excited about a simple family session? Step inside to see why giving back is so important.
As usual, I had over-packed. I was standing in the Lakeside parking lot trying to decide which camera I should bring with me. I had to bring the digital as a back-up camera, but which film camera should I bring? I knew I would be shooting film, but I just needed to decide how. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Renee and Cheney pull into the parking lot. It was time to go, so I just grabbed one camera and jumped into their car. Renee and Cheney had traveled from across the country for their destination engagement session at Lakeside, and what a perfect location it was. For those unfamiliar, Lakeside is a small vacation community along the Lake Erie shore. Step inside to see this gorgeous destination engagement session.
After a short break, it’s time to continue THE LEAK from Laura and John’s most epic wedding. THE LEAK is a special series I am doing just for Laura and John because…well…they’re awesome. Need another reason? Also, the posts are short and fast and feature just one portion of their day. If you’ve missed prior leaks, you can see the rest right here. Up for today are just a few special photos from their first look.
