We love shooting engagement sessions! Most of our clients add-on an engagement session to their wedding photography package. Sharing these photos is a great way to announce your engagement to the world, use in “save the dates”, and to have the opportunity to work with your photographer prior to your wedding day.
Andrea and Brad’s “At Home” Winter Engagement Session
First I would like to say that this blog post is totally unlike any other that I’ve written in the past. The reason is because the Perhacs family has had the great fortune of knowing and being close friends with Andrea and her family for decades. It’s really challenging to…
Danielle + Alex’s Fall Engagement Session at Hinckley Reservation

Lindsey + D’Andre’s Ohio City Engagement Session
This day was perfect. The only unexpected curve ball was the fact that we had 30MPH winds that were a little intense at times! That meant a little bit of a windchill, but honestly, it didn’t seem to phase Lindsey or D’Andre! They were up for anything!! Just because it…

Shelley + Ric – An Autumn Engagement Session at Brecksville Reservation

Rachael + Mikhail’s Fall Engagement Session at Hinckley Reservation
What a fantastic time we had shooting Rachael and Mikhail’s engagement session. As we began our trek, Mikhail began to reminisce about his grandparents’ farm where he spent a good amount of his childhood.

Jenn + Dan’s Engagement Session at Wade Oval Park

Brooke & Zaven – Engagement Photography – Snow Shoot
