Jill and Keith were my first engagement session for 2013! Yay! It’s been such a miserable winter and spring that most have put off having their sessions until Mother Nature finally gets the memo that it is spring and some of the mud dries up or at least some blossoms appear. However sometimes due to travel and schedules timing can’t be changed and since Jill and Keith were in town for a wedding planning week, we went ahead and made it work! Wednesday Mother Nature was teasing me all day, it’d be a gorgeous blue sky with lovely sun then cloud up and be overcast 5 minutes later. Oh, the joys of Ohio weather! When we started the engagement session at Gervasi Vineyard where they will be having their reception this summer, it was hovering right around 30 degrees and boy the winds were chilly! These guys powered through though and luckily dressed with the weather in mind! I loved their outfits and how they coordinated without being too matchy. We were blessed with about 5 minutes of sun though and it made for a few wonderful pictures before the sun went into hiding again. The session ended with snow. There is how Ohio weather works, all in one engagement session!
We started out over at the arch that they have near the pond where they often have ceremonies. Its a gorgeous little nook and allowed these guys to cuddle to keep warm!
Their reception will be held in the ballroom located behind them. It’s so amazing to see the difference here compared to the last engagement session I had here!
The sun! The sun! It’s not much but it came out and I may have done a happy dance!
When I saw the way the sun lit up the arch I knew I wanted to shoot this image from across the pond. We were hoping the light would hold for some more pictures by the arch but sadly the sun disappeared about 2 second after this image was taken.
They braved the cold for a few images without their jackets and I loved the way they were wrapped up together trying to keep warm. Shows off that engagement ring without being obvious!
We went into the woods which is always a favorite of mine. Yes, there are tons of gorgeous places at Gervasi but sometimes you go for what you love!
This has become a favorite on the Facebook Fan Page!
One final image that I adored, I love how they are serious without being grumpy!
Can’t wait to work with you two again in June!!! Thanks for toughing through the cold winds!
