Colleen & Joe | Engagement

November 7, 2012

These two laugh a lot. And I love it. As a photographer, I know it can be awkward to have your picture taken, but Colleen and Joe literally forgot the camera was there and were just absorbed with each other. These two are just really good people. They care about philanthropy and helping others and they are just happy human beings. Perfect clients, I say! :)

Colleen and Joe will tie the knot in December in downtown Cleveland. I'm super excited to work with them again (so soon!) and experience a winter Cleveland wedding. It's going to be a beautiful day!

Still some color left on those trees!

Gorgeous, lady. Again, I am obsessed with all my brides' hair! :)

I looooove that one above right. Colleen and Joe, the interaction, the soft light. Beautiful!

And then I asked them to lay on the ground ...

Love this one, too. You guys are awesome!

Sunaina & Dan | Engagement

November 5, 2012

Sunaina and Dan are the friendliest, most-easy-to-talk-to and down-to-earth couple ever! Sunaina has a bubbly, infectious personality and Dan has this grounded strength that makes you want to listen to what he has to say. They've been through a lot together and I know it has made their relationship that much stronger.

These two are getting married next summer in Buffalo, N.Y., and I'm SO bummed I'm not able to shoot their sure-to-be-awesome Indian wedding. Because these pictures? They're some of my favorites ever. And I really want to see Dan's grand ceremony entrance. ;) You guys, thank you for opening up to me and having fun in front of the camera. I'm thankful we got to work together!

The light = TAKE A GUESS! :D

I think that one above left is my absolute favorite ... although I have a lot of favorites from this session. :)

You guys. Just stop.

Holy cow, Sunaina. You are ridiculously gorgeous ...

OK, that one below is also a favorite ...

Sunaina loves to keep stuff that reminds her of Dan and she brought her whole memory box for them to go through. Fun idea!

And then this happened ... a third favorite!

Jessica & Dennis | Engagement

November 2, 2012

They frequented the same places, knew the same people ... it's kind of amazing they didn't meet until one of their mutual friends mentioned that they might be good together. Although "good together" is an understatement. These two are flippin' fantastic together and so cute. :) One look at them and you know they love each other so much.

I spent some time with these two right as the leaves were changing. We walked around Quail Hollow and talked about life and their upcoming wedding. Then we stopped by The Barrel Room in North Canton, which is where these two met and months later celebrated their engagement with family and friends. I'm so honored to be photographing Jessica and Dennis' wedding next October. Can't wait! :)

Beautiful, Jessica! I want your hair!

The light was to die for!

Meet Adrian. Or is it Adrienne, Dennis? ;) I love that he has a name for his car because I also only refer to my car by her name.

The cutest little guy!

Jessica & Collin | Engagement

October 30, 2012

Jessica and Collin were my very first wedding booking for the 2013 season, and their date is the MOST popular out there: 6.15.13. I've had SO many inquiries for it, and I'm so glad these two snatched it up. Their wedding is going to be fantastic. :)

We met at Wolf Creek Winery for their perfect fall engagement session. Wolf Creek is where they had their first date ... and where Collin proposed! So it was kind of fitting that we document their story there. The rain held off and the colors were gorgeous; I'm so glad we decided to stick with our original date.

Thank you two for a fun session! I hope the PDA isn't too out of control, Collin. ;)
