Beau + Melinda’s Fun Sunny Engagement Session at Fellows Riverside Gardens & Lily Pond in Youngstown, Ohio | July 25, 2019 | Youngstown Wedding Photographer

A few weeks ago, Donny & I met up with Beau + Melinda for a fun sunny engagement session at Mill Creek Park. They chose the always beautiful Fellows Riverside Gardens & Lily Pond for their two photography locations. These worked out perfectly for them on this day and their session was so beautiful—and so much fun!

Beau + Melinda are such a sweet & authentic couple. Their energy & passion for one another is adorable and they’re very down to Earth and genuine individuals. Donny + I immediately clicked with these two and their shoot hardly felt like work at all. Beau + Melinda’s session was so laidback, fun, & exciting! (We always look to create this environment for all of our couples to make the experience most enjoyable, comfortable, & relaxing.) They are so kind and easy to work with, and it was so nice just hanging out with these two in general, let alone photographing them. We’re beyond excited for their big day next year! 🙂

Enjoy some of our favorite moments from this gorgeous engagement session!

Thanks, again, Beau + Melinda for choosing us as your wedding & engagement photographers! Your engagement session was a blast & we’re so excited for your wedding next year! It’s going to be amaaazing! 🙂

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!
