A Beautiful and Heartfelt Engagement Session,

Combining the Best of Nature and City in Cleveland.

The Art and Story of Lauren + Zach

One of the best parts about our super awesome city of Cleveland is having access to great parks AND a Great Lake [ Lake Erie, in case you aren’t from the Midwest/never internalized elementary school geography ]. One of the best parts of being wedding photographers is that we get to spend time with our couples capturing creative engagement imagery!

Put them together, and you get a stunning set of engagement artwork, like this one! For Lauren + Zach’s engagement session in Cleveland, we took advantage of the [ rare ] incredible weather, beautiful natural backdrop, as well as the cityscapes we all know and love from our Comeback City. I’m pretty much obsessed with the result, and I think you will be, too! 😍

Cleveland Engagement PhotographyMeet Lauren + Zach! Aren’t they both just so pretty???

Artistic Engagement Photography ClevelandThese two were SO fun to work with. One of my goals as a wedding photographer in cleveland is to really help people “become themselves” as I photograph them.  I hate the same old “stale” wedding and engagement session photography we too often see.

Classic Engagement Photography ClevelandWe seriously had so much fun. These two absolutely love to laugh 😄

My favorite part was that it felt like a cute date night and I had so much fun hanging out while we took the pictures!

In Their Own Words.

That’s right. Every word you’ve read on this page so far regarding this wonderful wedding [ catch the alliteration there. Pretty brilliant, right? ] has all been word-smithed and crafted by us [ we’re not only gifted wedding photographers, but also not too shabby in the content writing department ] Humble Brag / Self enthusiasm aside; we mean every word on this page, but it’s important that you hear from our couple too.

We asked a few questions of them about their wedding; and hope you enjoy their answers 😀

What did you love about your session?

Zach: My favorite part of the shoot was being able to just take in the moment and enjoy thinking about how these photos were the start of our year countdown to the big day.
Lauren: My favorite part was that it felt like a cute date night and I had so much fun hanging out while we took the pictures!

How did you pick your outfits?

Lauren: As you can probably tell I picked both of our outfits. Pinterest inspo was a huge help!
Zach: My outfit pick was easy because I don’t buy very many new clothes.

What was it like to work with us?

Lauren: I felt comfortable throughout the shoot which was so great especially considering I usually also feel pretty awkward getting pictures taken but by the end it felt easy!
Zach: We were treated great!  I felt very encouraged by Brett!  Sometimes I feel awkward in full body photos that aren’t just close ups so thankfully Brett and Lauren helped me there!

What are you most excited about for your wedding?

Zach: I am most excited to celebrate Lauren and our love with all of our closest friends and family.
Lauren: Im copying Zach here but I’m most excited to celebrate our love with the support of all of our favorite people

How did your partner handle the session?

Lauren: Zach did great! I know he was really nervous about getting pictures but didn’t seem like it at all.
Zach: Lauren’s performance was perfect she kept me relaxed and smiling for 2 hours non stop. She also looked stunning while doing so.

Where will your wedding reception be, and why did you select your venue?

Lauren: Our reception is at Gordon green because it just felt right as soon as we toured it the first time. It was exciting to picture all of our family and friends together and I loved the overall vibe.
Zach: The reception will be at Gordon green. Lauren can probably answer more why there than I can 😂
