Nicole and Dan’s Engagement Session in Ohio City

by James ~ January 5th, 2012

Now that we are finally pulling out of what has been the busiest fall/early winter since we started doing photography, we are looking forward to getting caught up on blogging some portrait and engagement sessions in these slower months where weddings aren’t happening every weekend.

First off is Nicole and Dan’s engagement session in Ohio City. As we walked through the streets near the Great Lakes Brewing company, there was a strong scent of cinnamon and coffee cake in the air which likely came from the brewing of the (in)famous Great Lakes Christmas Ale which was probably in full swing at the time. Dan was a little apprehensive about being in front of the camera at first but unbeknownst to him, he’s a natural, and the session turned out great. We’re looking forward to their wedding which will take place at the new 700 Beta in early September, so keep your eyes on the blog for that when the time comes.

Matty and Erica’s Wedding at the Cleveland Renaissance Hotel

by James ~ December 13th, 2011

Matty and Erica’s wedding on Saturday was our last wedding of 2012 and it was a fantastic note to end on. It was great to see two people so madly in love and so able to fully appreciate and enjoy every moment of their wedding day before the moment passes. This made our jobs very easy and we are very excited about the set of images we have for them.

The snow that was forecast for the day never materialized but we did have a beautifully clear yet brisk day to make use of. Winter light has a quality all its own and I’m glad we are able to make sure good use of it.

Congratulations, Matty and Erica, and thank you so much for making us a part of your day!

Here are some of Genevieve’s favorite images:

The perfect pompadour takes time and skill. Luckily, Tim rose to the occasion.

The Fawcett Family at the studio

by Genevieve ~ December 7th, 2011

Some 9 years ago, I photographed the first chapter in the Fawcett story: their wedding. I’ve since captured chapter 2 a couple years ago with the birth of Harrison which can be seen here. Now with the addition of Faye, I was able to photograph chapter 3 of this lovely and growing family. I am often amazed to see how different siblings can be and Faye is very much the opposite of her brother. She is such a laid back and happy baby while Harrison a little more serious and loves being close to Mom and Dad at all times. What a pleasure to be trusted with capturing these moments in your lives Bradley and Antoinette! Thank you.

Jen and Justin’s Engagement Session in Rocky River

by James ~ December 4th, 2011

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of meeting up with Jen and Justin for their engagement session in Rocky River, Ohio. We started out at the Crocker Park shopping center where Jen admits to spending a little bit TOO much time, then we headed over towards Huntington Beach in hopes of some sunset photos. Keep an eye on the blog for the big conclusion this coming August!

Nicole and Adam’s Engagement Session in Downtown, Akron

by James ~ December 1st, 2011

Nicole and Adam have a lot of history in Downtown Akron, so it just made sense to do their engagement session there. They met while at work at a local Hospital, they are both fans of the local baseball team, and they often hang out at one of the local bars that happens to be owned by a friend of theirs. We had a great time roaming around and I think we came away with some great images! Keep an eye on the blog for the conclusion this coming April.
