Luke + Spenser's Pittsburgh Engagement Session | April 17, 2019 | Pittsburgh Wedding Photographer

Last month, Donny & I had the pleasure of meeting up with Luke + Spenser for their urban Pittsburgh engagement session! We were so excited to finally meet these two after months of chatting and planning—they are so sweet! Although we are partial to Cleveland as homegrown Ohio kids (go Brownies!), we always love traveling to Pittsburgh for shoots, and for fun! The city is such a beautiful location for photos given its scenic backdrops including bridges, hills, overlooks, the river, and more! Enjoy some of our favorite moments from the day!

Ben + Angie's Florida Sunset Engagement Session at Fort De Soto Park in St. Petersburg, FL | March 10, 2019 | Tampa Wedding Photographers

Last weekend Donny & I had the privilege of photographing Ben + Angie in celebration of their engagement & upcoming wedding next year. We chose the beautiful Fort De Soto Park in St. Petersburg, FL as our location. This has quickly become one of our favorite spots to shoot on the gulf given the variety of settings offered, including the beach, pier, fort, a 19th century battery, and surrounding land. Donny & I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this gorgeous sunset engagement session with such a lovely soon-to-be-married couple!

Tom + Jamie's Winter Cleveland Engagement Session at Rockefeller Park Greenhouse | Hungarian Cultural Garden | The Cleveland Museum of Art

A couple of weeks ago, Donny & I had the pleasure of photographing Tom + Jamie in celebration of their engagement. These two were so much fun to work with! The best thing about engagement shoots is when midsession it starts to feel like you’re just hanging out with some good friends. Engagement sessions are such a great way to bond with clients & get a feel for what they prefer; it’s also a great time to practice posing before the big day! Tom + Jamie were so much fun to be around and were complete naturals. They made our jobs very easy. Sedona, their furry pup, also joined us for our Cleveland shoot, and she was so cute & spunky! (We always love when our clients bring their pets to celebrate with them!)

Drew + Lauren's Winter Wonderland Engagement Session at David Fortier River Park in Olmsted Falls, Ohio

Following a major winter storm last week, Donny & I traveled to Olmsted Falls to capture the love between two individuals we had been eager to meet for months, Lauren + Drew. Lauren & I had been planning this session for a while around the weather, waiting for festive conditions & freshly fallen snow. We were in luck this week. NE Ohio received a thick blanket of snow, and we got even more than we needed—about 10 inches too much, probably! That being said, we couldn’t pass up the chance to make the most out of this winter wonderland. Although it was a challenge to work in (and trudge through) at times, we enjoyed it—wet socks, frozen fingers, and all :)

Nick + Hannah's Snowy January Engagement Session at Lanterman's Mill in Mill Creek Park

Last week, Donny & I had the pleasure of capturing the love between Nick & Hannah, an awesome couple (and Browns fans, at that) tying the knot next December. They also brought their furry babies, Bell & Brady, to the shoot! These two were so sweet & excited to be apart of all the fun. We’re always so happy when our clients bring their pups! (Donny & I are currently puppy deprived and we always appreciate the extra company!)

On July 22, my now husband Donny & I traveled to the Caribbean to spend a few days visiting family on St. Thomas and shooting tropical sessions during our stay. A few days after arriving, we packed up our gear and headed to St. John via ferry to capture two of our favorite peoples love, Donny’s cousin, Brian, and his fiance, Caiti (also known as Caiti Snacks, but that’s another story for another day).
