Amy & Tim | Chagrin Falls Sunrise Engagement

I met Amy and Tim at sunrise in the most picturesque town. Chagrin Falls has this American charm and small-town feel that we knew would pair perfectly with engagement photos. These two laughed their way through our morning together and we caught up on wedding planning, potential honeymoon trips, their high-energy dogs, and our favorite things about Cleveland. Amy and Tim tie the knot in three months (THREE, you guys)!

Favorite! I love how happy you are here, Amy!

Chagrin Falls is full of nooks and crannies that make for awesome photo ops.

Samantha & Ethan | Whitesburg Nature Preserve Engagement

Oh my goodness ... Samantha and Ethan. Where do I even start with them? These college sweethearts are so much fun to be around. One look at these photos and I bet you can tell that Samantha and Ethan adore each other. You'd be right. :) These two have made long distance work since college and they are just SO ready to be married ... and giddy at the prospect! They'll be tying the knot in sunny California next year, and I'm super excited for their new journey.

The BEST to you two. 

Samantha has the best smile and the sunniest personality!

Ethan kept Samantha laughing our whole session. He is the friendliest guy.

We had the dreamiest light the day of our session.

Rachel & Ryan | Whitesburg Nature Preserve Engagement

I love fall engagement sessions. The colorful trees add so much dimension to the photos, and it's so nice to shoot on those hazy days. Rachel's only request for a location was that it must have lots of trees. Whitesburg Nature Preserve in Chagrin Falls is my new favorite place to shoot in the fall. It's literally covered with colorful trees for more than a month. So gorgeous!

I went to high school with Rachel AND we both attended Miami. It was so fun to catch up with her, especially as our 10-year high school reunion approaches. (Um, crazy!) She and Ryan (who is a Phi Tau ... come on! I love this couple!) are completely adorable together. They kept each other laughing the whole time. They have so much fun together, and that makes me super excited to photograph their June wedding next year!

Love that one up there on the left. :)

Favorite!
