I love fall engagement sessions. The colorful trees add so much dimension to the photos, and it's so nice to shoot on those hazy days. Rachel's only request for a location was that it must have lots of trees. Whitesburg Nature Preserve in Chagrin Falls is my new favorite place to shoot in the fall. It's literally covered with colorful trees for more than a month. So gorgeous!
I went to high school with Rachel AND we both attended Miami. It was so fun to catch up with her, especially as our 10-year high school reunion approaches. (Um, crazy!) She and Ryan (who is a Phi Tau ... come on! I love this couple!) are completely adorable together. They kept each other laughing the whole time. They have so much fun together, and that makes me super excited to photograph their June wedding next year!
After a handful of bad dates, both Jessica and Dennis were frustrated with their prospects and vented to their (mutual) friend. It's like a movie script, right? You know what happened next. Their friend had an "aha" moment, introduced them to each other and the rest is history. It's their very own chick flick.
Jessica and Dennis are such great people. She's the first one to make you laugh and he's the first one to offer you a thoughtful, supportive word (which is one of Jessica's favorite things about him). They just go together. Period.
"Because of her, I learned I am capable of so much more, professionally, emotionally, and knowing she will always be there for support when I need her keeps me always trying to succeed, for us," Dennis said. "She makes me strive to be the man she deserves, and I will do my best to she that's what she gets."
There was so much emotion at Jessica and Dennis' wedding. Every part of the day, no matter how monumental or minuscule, it was all taken in and processed and felt. As a photographer, these are the moments I strive to capture. It was like gold. :)
You two, thank you a million times over for asking me to be your wedding photographer. What an honor it was to capture your day from behind my lens. Let's keep in touch, OK??
It rained. And rained and rained. But they still got their outdoor ceremony and portraits! :)
What a couple of awesome people. Sara and Jimmy came to me through Jaclyn and Nick, so of course I knew I would like them before I even met them. And I was right to know in advance. These two laughed the whole session, which was fantastic for me. Their giddiness about their newly engaged status was contagious. Just take a look ...
Not only did Sarah and Steve win my 2013 giveaway, they also nabbed my last wedding slot of the year! It felt so good to successfully shoot their beautiful wedding, not only because it was my last for awhile, but also because they got one of Cleveland's prettiest fall days yet! Win-win. Check out the attractive Sarah and Steve, and stay tuned for their full blog in the next week or so.
