Dana and Anthony’s engagement session was everything I love about photographing downtown Cleveland. The city has such an easy rhythm — all you have to do is start walking and you’ll stumble into the best little nooks, alleys, and patches of golden light. We explored some of my favorite spots, from the front steps of the library to The Arcade.

Exploring Cleveland’s Hidden Gems

One of my favorite things about downtown sessions is how spontaneous they can be. We wandered, we laughed, and we found those unplanned backdrops that ended up being some of my favorite images of the day. Dana and Anthony were effortless together — fun, genuine, and clearly so comfortable with each other — which made our time together fly by.

Counting Down to the Wedding

I couldn’t be happier to be the one photographing their wedding next year. Dana and Anthony are wonderful people (and it doesn’t hurt that they’re ridiculously photogenic). Sessions like this are a reminder of why I love what I do — telling stories that feel real and full of personality.

If you’re recently engaged and dreaming of a downtown Cleveland engagement session, I’d love to explore the city with you. Get in touch here!
