Cleveland Engagement Session
Would it could have made valentines day weekend more special? A fun day of Cleveland engagement photography sessions! I spent the morning with an uber-awesome couple – Tara & Chris.

Tara & Chris are friends of mine who are getting married this coming July. A few months back they asked Making the Moment to be their wedding photographer for their Cleveland wedding (Woohoo!!). I’m so excited that they chose us as their Wedding Photographer!!


Although I won’t be their wedding photographer personally (Christina has that distinct honor) the two had asked me to take on their engagement session. And how could I say no? These two are SO in love, it’s impossible to not catch fun & romantic images of them at any given moment. As a creative lifestyle photographer, one of my rules of thumb is to do very little “forced posing” – and throughout our session I found that these two did a sweet job of running with it.

As I’ve gotten to know Tara a bit better through our session time, I learned a great bit about her caring and sweet personality. Tara is moving up to Ohio when Chris and her get married, and my wife and I are so VERY excited to get to know her better, and to get to enjoy these two as a couple (they’ll practically be our neighbors soon!). Chris is a stud of a guy, encouraging, outgoing & fun to be around. Put these two together, and you’ve got instant camera magic.

We had a sweet engagement session in downtown Cleveland. Our photography session took us from such grand locations as the Cleveland Arcade, to the Cleveland Public Library (whispering amongst the bookstacks), and a little adventurous exploration of some fun city locations I’ve tracked down.


I’m so incredibly excited that I get to serve my friends for their Cleveland Wedding – with Christina behind the lens, their wedding photos are going to be fun, artsy, elegant & creative.

Chris & Tara – I’m so overjoyed about your photos – thank you for our time together! Please enjoy a selection of my favorites photographs from our engagement session!
