remark that I love shooting close to home and have joked in the past about being able to walk to a shoot. \u00a0Jennifer is getting ready the day of her wedding at her Mom&#8217;s house, which is quite literally behind mine! \u00a0I may have to walk there just because I CAN that day! \u00a0I love when I&#8217;m able to work with clients from my own hometown of North Canton. \u00a0Not that I don&#8217;t love other cities as much but it&#8217;s always a bit extra fun working with people that literally are from my town.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 \u00a0I love it when my clients trust me and do anything I ask them to! \u00a0I say this a lot I know but I cannot stress how much better images can be when you trust your photographer (and not being afraid of grass is a HUGE bonus).<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 \u00a0I couldn&#8217;t have ordered a more perfect day for an engagement shoot. \u00a0A lot of what we do as photographers is about light and I was worried about not only the light (shooting at high noon!) but also the weather since June can either be humidly hot or bitterly cold here in Ohio. \u00a0We truly lucked out with weather our day with no humidity, abundant sunshine and a cool breeze!<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 \u00a0Beyond having a beautiful day for an\u00a0engagement\u00a0shoot, you will be hard pressed to find a much more perfect setting than <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stanhywet.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Stan Hywet Hall &amp; Gardens<\/a> around this area. \u00a0Future clients should note that they have changed their rules in regards to professional shoots and now charge for engagement and portrait sessions on their grounds in addition to charging for weddings.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 \u00a0They aren&#8217;t getting married until 2012 so look for these lovely people to return to the blog in a year!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"engagement portrait on terrace at stan hywet \"><img
