Engagement | Melissa + Chris | Canton, Ohio

September 9, 2010

Melissa and Chris are just so darn cute together. It always takes people a few minutes to warm up to the camera but they put each other at ease so quickly that there was barely any warm up time needed. Melissa makes Chris laugh and he makes her smile. Warms my heart!

This summer has been one of the hottest and most humid I can remember in a long time. While it’s great that I haven’t had many rainy sessions this year it also means that I’ve had a lot of sweaty subjects and let’s face it – it’s hard to be smiling and cheerful in front of the lens when you are dying of heat and have sweat pouring from your body! Luckily for these guys this day was one of the first major breaks in the oppressive humidity and heat and it was a really great day for a shoot – low 80’s, light breeze and puffy clouds!

They were game for ANYTHING I suggested and never once gave me that “Corey… you are crazy!” look.

Oh yeah, of all days, their engagement session took place the same day as the Football Hall of Fame game. Which meant that our meeting place was blocked off and we had to switch it up at the last minute. We were able to later walk to the original spot (Canton Garden Center) and saw the reason behind it – all of the busses for the teams were parked there! Kind of neat to see! I got some looks from the roaming security truck but once he figured out I wasn’t paparazzi he went along his merry way.

Because of the game, we had the Goodyear Blimp circling us during the entire shoot! That’s a new one for me!

Look for Melissa & Chris to return this November!

The Goodyear Blimp was the costar of the shoot!

My favorite from the session!

Melissa you are adorable!

Melissa specifically wanted this shot and that’s why we ended up where we did for pictures. I know it’s been on here a million times but the light it so magical here! I understand why so many love it!
