Aaron + Karsen’s Fall Country Engagement Session at Mastropietro Winery in Berlin Center, Ohio | October 18, 2019 | Youngstown Engagement Photographer

Donny & I recently had the pleasure of photographing Aaron + Karsen (and their adorable fur baby, Ellie) at Mastropietro Winery in Berlin Center. We really enjoyed this beautiful morning engagement session and love this colorful gallery! 🙂

We had never photographed at this location before, but Karsen + Aaron fell in love with it while recently visiting the winery. They received permission to use the property from the owner who was nice enough to allow us to roam the grounds to make some magic! Mastropietro Winery offered a lot of variety, featuring a pond, vineyards, a large soy bean field, & colorful landscape! The fall scenery in late October was just beautiful and Karsen + Aaron definitely made a great choice picking this location!

Aaron + Karsen were so easy to work with! These two make such a sweet couple! They were so cute together & playful throughout our shoot, which definitely showed up in their photos! Their St. Bernard, Ellie, only added to the cuteness, coming along for part of the shoot to join in on the fun. She was so well behaved and did a great job—although it did take MANY cookies to bribe her haha!! (We always love when our clients incorporate their dogs in their sessions!) These three make such a nice little family and Donny & I are so happy to have been able to capture these special moments for them! 🙂

Enjoy this gorgeous fall engagement session at Mastropietro Winery! 🙂

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!
