Theresa & Frank's Engagement Session

When I met Theresa to discuss her wedding in June, I instantly felt comfortable with her; and we laughed out butts off throughout the entire meeting (I knew Frank would be an instant hit as well)!

Fast forward to their engagement session a couple months later, at the Hinckley Metroparks, and they totally agreed to play into my "Valentines Day" theme - lollipops, sparkles, and just ultimate lovey-dovey-cheesiness. What a great couple! I have some of the BEST clients :)

Natalie & Dylan Engaged

Anytime I shoot an engagement session in November I assume it's going to be crappy weather-wise...it's Cleveland...it's a weekend...so it's kind of a guarantee it'll either be raining or snowing. I hardly admit this, but I was so very very wrong!

I met up with Natalie and Dylan on a 60-degree, early November day (after I did my happy dance, because it was 60 degrees and partly sunny - now we're talking!). We met in beautiful Brecksville, at the train depot, in the Metroparks. It's such a cute area; with the train tracks, the bridge and the open spaces - it's definitely becoming one of my favorite places to shoot.

These two were such a blast! Natalie is beautiful and has hair to-die-for, for reals (I told her I was going to steal it) and Dylan is a cop, so I, of course annoyed him right away about getting some "FOP" cards. I mean, come on, don't they just hand them out like candy on Halloween? Nope. They do not. But he promised to send me some - so I forgave him. PLUS they brought along their sweet woofie, Buckeye, and he put on his furriest face for a couple photos. Enjoy :)

Lauren and Brent are Engaged

On a perfect fall day in October, I met these two in Chagrin Falls to do their fun-filled engagement session! I love Chagrin for photo-sessions; there are a ton of cozy nooks, corners and ivy-filled walls and I think we took full advantage of all that it had to offer :)

These two love to laugh and be silly with each other; I can't wait for their autumn-inspired nuptials next September at Patterson Fruit Farm in Chesterland...enjoy!

Bethany & Norm - Engagement Session

When Bethany told me she wanted to do their engagement session in Chagrin Falls, I almost peed my pants! Besides being ridiculously attractive (seriously, can we say JCrew ad in the flesh?), these two are just too much fun. I am so excited for their posh, Cincinnati wedding in October with my fabulous 'Savvy Soirees' partner :)

Amanda & Mike Engagement Photos

I have known Mike Fuller since he was in elementary school; seriously...we used to ride bikes, trade stickers and even jump on the trampoline together (sorry Mike, but it's true). And now he is all grown-up and getting married and I couldn't be happier for him and his fiance, Amanda, who is one very cool chick. These two are getting married on June 10th at the Sheraton in Cuyahoga Falls, and we finally had nice enough weather to sneak in their engagement session in Chagrin Falls - right where Mike proposed to Amanda :)
