How can I even start? I had SO much fun with Dawn + Paul shooting their engagement photos. We had an amazing day full of fun and excitement. We started in a beautiful setting at Brandy Wine Falls, one of Ohio’s largest waterfalls. After such a long winter for everyone, it felt so good just to get back into the outdoors. Fresh air, natural beauty... It was the perfect place to start.

Getting to know these two awesome people really made me feel great. Believe me, I always get along with all of my couples that I get the chance to meet.  But I think that Dawn, Paul and I really connected on a different level. We have similar interests. We laughed at the same jokes. We really had a great time. It was like I was hanging out with old friends.

These guys were fun. I mean seriously, we laughed the entire time. After the waterfall, we made the journey to downtown Cleveland. After hitting up East 4^th, they took me to the spot where Dawn took Paul on their first date. A small abandoned building in the flats covered in graffiti. With such rich textures and fantastic art up on the wall, it really made for a special spot for their engagement photos.

After spending the day with them, I really can’t wait for their big day to come. Their engagement session helped us form a bond of trust. Once their wedding day comes, they can focus on enjoying every moment of their special day. They will know that I will be there, right by their side, to tell their story in the best way possible.
