Engagement sessions are all about capturing a couple’s unique love story, and Katie and DJ’s session in downtown Cleveland was all THEIRS. From the historic elegance of The Arcade to a stunning rooftop overlooking the city skyline—with their beloved VW Bug as the perfect finishing touch—every moment was filled with personality and romance.

A Romantic Start at The Arcade

We began the session at The Arcade, one of Cleveland’s most iconic landmarks. With its grand staircases, intricate ironwork, and warm golden light, it was the perfect setting for intimate, elegant portraits. Katie and DJ looked effortlessly in love as they strolled through the historic corridors, sharing laughs and sweet moments that made for beautiful candid shots.

A Rooftop Sunset & a Volkswagen Bug

After capturing the charm of The Arcade, we made our way to a downtown parking garage rooftop for a completely different vibe. As the sun began to set, the Cleveland skyline provided a breathtaking backdrop for their photos. The city lights started to twinkle, adding a magical glow to the session.

But the real star of the rooftop shoot? Katie and DJ’s beloved VW Bug. This car isn’t just any vehicle—it holds special meaning for them, making it the perfect addition to their engagement photos. We captured playful, romantic shots of them with the Bug, from leaning against it with the city behind them to sitting inside, soaking in the moment.

A Love Story Set in Cleveland

Katie and DJ’s engagement session was a perfect mix of historic charm, urban vibes, and personal touches. From the timeless beauty of The Arcade to the modern cityscape on the rooftop, every shot told a piece of their love story. And with their cherished VW Bug in the mix, the session felt uniquely “them.”

Cleveland has so many incredible engagement session locations, and this shoot proved just how stunning the city can be. I can’t wait to capture Katie and DJ’s wedding day—it’s sure to be just as magical as their engagement session!
