Mallory & Justin | Cleveland Art Museum Film Portraits

Cleveland Art Museum EngagementMallory 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!

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

Film Mini Shoot #4 | Baby Wyatt

Cleveland Ohio Lifestyle Baby PhotographerOh, Baby Wyatt. Your face is so serious but your hair is so silly. Really, though, his hair is awesome, right? I'm so grateful I met Jeanna and Brian last year and have gotten to keep up with Baby Wyatt since he's been born. What a sweet, little boy.

I'm loving these indoor film photos … something a little different for me and something I hope to keep up!

Ali & Ian | Pinecroft Estate Cincinnati Wedding

Pinecroft Estate Cincinnati Ohio WeddingThey met over a beer and a football game. Ian had agreed to be the wingman for a friend who was interested in Ali. He took his job seriously and stayed on the outskirts of the conversation.

"We were at an Irish Pub in Hyde Park when she walked in," Ian remembered. "I actually remember her entering the premise. This is more of a compliment, but I could tell this girl went to a) Miami University or b) Miami University." [Hahaha, you know I'm laughing at that.] "Needless to say, I thought she was very attractive."

After quite a bit of football talk, Ian's friend realized that he should really be the wingman to Ian, and decided to step aside. (What an awesome friend, right?!) A few months later and Ian and Ali were falling.

"My overall favorite thing about Ian is his ability to bring the best out of people with his friendly, positive personality," Ali said. "People just natural gravitate towards him because of his amazing character."

I couldn't agree more! Ian was friends with my roommates when I lived in Cincinnati, and he was always, always kind and friendly and inclusive. Ali compliments him so perfectly. Together they are a fun-loving, genuine couple that cares so deeply for their family and friends. And they are so loved right back. Just one step into their reception and you could feel the love and energy floating around.

Ian and Ali, thank you for the most wonderful photography experience. You two are gems, and I wish you a hundred years of happiness together.
