I first met Lauren about a year ago when she was a bridemaid at Carli and Kevin’s wedding. I had no idea then that almost a year later I would be shooting her engagement photos or heading off to Mexico to be a part of their wedding day in 2012.
She’s a nurse. He’s a fire fighter. They met on the job and she knew right away she had found Mr. Right! That was a few years back, but she obviously knew what she was talking about. Eric is a great guy. I’ had a lot of fun talking with them about their wedding, engagement, sports, the housing market…we talked…a lot…
First stop on our evening shoot was at Eric’s fire station. I swear, this has been a year of firetrucks for me. Third shoot this year around a big red truck. I told the rest of the guys at the station that is was their job to heckle Lauren and Eric as I took pictures but none of them stuck around once I broke out the camera. After we finished up there we made a trip down to the east bank of the Flats and East 4th St. We even snuck into the Old Arcade long enough to get one picture on the steps before security caught on to what we were doing. But since they didn’t actually make it over to tell us to go away then we really didn’t do anything wrong, right?

I normally spend one Saturday in August chasing Chris, Janice and the rest of their family around the streets of downtown while they run the Cleveland Triathlon. This year they finally decided to make it easier on me and we set up a time to get together and take some family photos that were not quite as hot and sweaty.
We met last Saturday morning down in the Eastman Reading Garden next to the Cleveland Public Library. It’s pretty neat little spot that has a variety of backdrops right there as well as a quite a few other great locations within walking distance. While little Derrick may have wanted us to chase him all over downtown, we never had to leave the garden. I was able to get a bunch of great shots and everybody had a lot of fun.

Almost a year ago today, I was getting my gear all packed up to head out and spend the day with Carli and Kevin and they got married. It’s amazing how time flies. I know they’ve had a pretty exciting first year of marriage as well. New jobs, new homes, and a new puppy!
Congratulations to both of you! I wish you countless more days together!

I met Marcia and Kevin earlier this year and had a real nice time chatting with them over coffee and wedding albums. They both had such easy, genuine smiles. I couldn’t wait to get together for their engagement session.
Kevin likes to golf. Marcia doesn’t. That didn’t stop us from using Kevin’s home course as the perfect backdrop for the photos! Of course, that means Marcia gets to pick the location for the wedding formals!
