Gina & Sergio | Cleveland Museum of Art Engagement

It was a perfect fall day when I met Gina and Sergio in The Flats for their engagement session. And it also happened to be the Cavs home opener and the first game of the World Series (remember that glorious night?!), all hosted in downtown Cleveland. Needless to say, it was craaaaaazy anywhere near the city, and Gina and Sergio channeled all that awesome energy into their fun engagement photos.

Remembering all this laughter makes me excited for your September wedding, guys. Thanks for being so great!

Shannon & Jason | Downtown Cleveland Engagement

What a beautiful night for a joy-filled engagement session! Shannon and Jason laughed the whole evening, and it made for some adorable photos. This was one of those sessions where you feel like everyone just gets each other. I think we could have talked for hours about our pets (our cats, really, if I'm being honest), our jobs, our college experience, our mutual friends, living on the east side of Cleveland. :)

These two are getting married in an intimate setting later this year, and I couldn't be more excited for their October wedding!

We started their downtown session in Playhouse Square, home of the infamous giant chandelier!

Come one. These two are so fun!

And we ended the session at Voinovich Park, just in time for a beautiful sunset!

Mallory & Justin | Cleveland Art Museum Film Portraits

Mallory and Justin are some of our favorite people ever … and we just met them less than a year ago! They make up the talented and adorable Mallory + Justin husband-and-wife photography team out of Canton. You should go check them out. They have big dreams and are go-getters and all around good people.

Over the past few months, we've adventured quite a bit with Mallory and Justin (or "Mallory plus Justin" as I call them in my head). Some of my favorite memories with them include sitting on our living room floor talking about life (and then some); traipsing around a llama farm at Unshop to find the best shooting locations … and then discussing brain freezes over giant ice cream cones; taking part in M+J's brainchild, Collected, which I'll be sharing more of soon; and, of course, missing our dinner reservations to continue this photo swap. You just have to love people that are on the exact same page as you!

Most of these photos are film (Fuji 400h), but Nathan "second shot" with me to capture a few digital photos too!

Meet my friend Mallory who has amazing hair and cheekbones! Justin, your cheekbones aren't bad either. ;)

Love that one on the right. I have no idea what they were looking at, but I love it!

I just love shooting outside the art museum. There are so many awesome natural reflectors! And P.S. I think that photo on the right is one of Nathan's! Pretty proud of him.
