Ashley & Pat’s Fall Sunset Engagement Session at Ledges Overlook in Cuyahoga Valley National Park

Pat & Ashley’s story began at a Cleveland Browns game they attended with mutual friends years ago. According to Ashley, Pat first showed interest when he stole her potato chips—a bold move. (After all, civilized people don’t just take a stranger’s food unless there’s some kind of real connection haha.) These two later met up at a bonfire with friends and hit it off, beginning to seriously talk and later date. Years later, Pat & Ashley now have a sweet little family and they are planning their future together, eagerly awaiting their wedding day!

Ashely & Pat, and their fur baby Myla, rocked their session at Ledges Overlook and Szalay’s Farm & Market! They were so much fun to work with and super cute together! Myla was such a good girl—and a flat out MODEL—for the entire shoot! That could be a result of LOTS of practice in front of a camera. (Ashley designs handmade dog bandanas and Myla helps to show them off! If you’re looking for some cute bandanas for your pup, check out Ashley’s store: MylaRed.etsy.com!) Myla and family definitely knew how to work it and we’re so in love with this fall engagement session!

Pat & Ashley are getting married next September and we can’t wait for their big day! Until then, enjoy some highlights from this beautiful fall shoot!

Kind Words

We are so happy with our experience that we had to yell it from the mountain tops! They made sure we got all of the dreamy photos we were hoping for! It snowed like crazy, but nothing fazes these two!
