<\/p>\n\u2022 This was my first weekend off of weddings in a long time but I managed to keep myself busy with some engagement and portrait shoots. \u00a0As soon as the leaves turn it seems that everyone wants their pictures done before the snow rolls in. \u00a0In Ohio, you never know how long it will be so you take the good days when you have them and run with it! \u00a0Last year it didn’t snow until after Christmas, this year we’ve already seen a few nasty snowy days and are currently under a Winter Storm Warning!<\/p>\n
\u2022 Maureen and Jeremy are so cute together, not a lot of posing was necessary because they just are adorable. \u00a0Makes my job easier!!!<\/p>\n
\u2022 It’s funny how for the past 2 \u00a0+ years of shooting in NE Ohio I’ve SO wanted to shoot at Squires Castle but have never had the chance and in 2010 I ended up going there quite a bit!<\/p>\n
\u2022 Note to future brides and grooms that while this area is GORGEOUS, there is a LOT of people here at all times so if having pristine backgrounds is important to you, this may not be the place to go. \u00a0This particular day there was a wedding going on, 5 different photo shoots and a ton of people just enjoying the nice weather and sunshine. \u00a0It wasn’t easy to get pictures without all the chaos in the frame!<\/p>\n
\u2022 I love a lot of colors for portrait\/engagement sessions but I really think that jewel tones are the best especially during the fall. \u00a0GORGEOUS color choice here Maureen!!!<\/p>\n
\u2022 This whole session shows why I love to schedule engagement sessions for the ‘magic hour’ of the time just before sunset, the light it just so flattering! \u00a0The day of the wedding we are often at the mercy of the schedules of the day so we can’t always play during the optimal time for portraits so it makes me super happy when we’re able to do the engagement session with the pretty pretty light!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We started out in a gorgeous field of weeds! \u00a0Needless to say, there was quite a few photographers making faces at me asking me if I knew what I was doing and shaking their heads. \u00a0I think I knew what I was doing…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Yep, definitely knew what I was doing. \u00a0The light here was fantastic!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Yep, yep. \u00a0I knew what I was going for… and if you don’t agree please don’t tell me because I’m in love with this whole series of images!<\/p>\n

I’m glad that Maureen and Jeremy trusted me and didn’t write me off as a nutter!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Not only was the light amazing here, but another key factor was that no one else was in this fabulous field of weeds! \u00a0Just us.<\/p>\n
Random fact: these orange flowers are jewelweed aka “Touch Me Nots.” \u00a0They are my favorite “weed” (they are a variety of impatiens) and I spent much of my childhood following my Dad in the woods just hoping to find one of these suckers ready to ‘pop’.<\/p>\n

They are so darned cute aren’t they??<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
That is one serious dip! \u00a0I can’t wait to see this the day of their wedding!<\/p>\n

This gives you a little sliver of how crazy the place REALLY was! \u00a0Here you can see a senior photo shoot taking place (left), a wedding shoot taking place (center), a family playing and taking pictures (center), another senior shoot (right) and a random chair from one of the senior shoots. \u00a0Also note right after this shoot the lady spinning the boy would fall head over heels and roll down the hill. \u00a0No one was hurt but it was funny all the craziness that was going on!<\/p>\n

It was hard to choose my favorite ring shot but I think this one wins!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Look for this fab couple to be back here in August!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
