Winter in Northeast Ohio is beautiful, but winter waterfalls in Northeast Ohio are next level. Julie and Cody love to spend time outdoors. When I asked what they most enjoy doing together, they told me they like to rock climb, kayak, and hike. Naturally, they chose Cuyahoga Valley National Park for the location of their […]

These high school sweethearts are proof that timing is everything. Ashley and Kyle dated through high school, but separated colleges and long-distance made maintaining a relationship tricky. Caring deeply for one another, they kept in touch. After some time, they tried again and everything they once felt was rekindled. Their story is so beautiful! It […]

Photographing a couple begins with getting to know their hearts first. I always ask couples to answer a few questions before they even step in front of my camera so I can learn more about their story. One of my favorite questions to ask is “How long was it before you thought you’d probably end […]

Stuart planned the ultimate surprise proposal. Shawnie walked outside their Crossfit gym for what she thought was a final stretch.
