David + Lauren | Engagement

Today was a beautiful day in North West Ohio. An excellent day for David & Lauren’s engagement session! I set a new record… 940 shots in 2 hours. On my way to Milwaukee tonight I managed to pick just my absolute favorites to blog about. For most that aren’t familiar with NW weather we are just starting to have days that feel like southern “spring days.” Our flowers (and weeds) are now growing rapidly because of all the rain we’ve had recently. When I say it’s a good day (weather wise) that means all the parks are completely full. One thing different from SC to OH is we have WAY more parks. When it’s nice everyone is outside.

We started out at Sidecut Metro Park. This is one of the most versatile parks in our area in terms of settings to shoot. We only stayed on one side of the park today. There were purple flowers everywhere. I was so nervous the flower wouldn’t hold Lauren’s ring and I would have to search through the brush… nice bling!

Lauren and I both like shoe shots! I wonder if her closet is as full as mine of shoes?

I’m not sure if this is from the corn here or what but every year for about a week we have floating white fuzz. It’s like Christmas snow in the summer. Really adds to the romance of these photos…

So adorable…. Can’t wait until their October wedding.

David’s hometown is Toledo but they both currently live in Savannah. They are less than 10 minutes from Tybee Island. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Savannah (& Charleston). So touched they chose to do their engagement portraits in Ohio. However I could fly to Savannah too (hint hint). J/k  (not really)

I love this shot. Thank goodness the ducks weren’t out today. They normally take up all the banks.

This is by far the most requested pose I do. “L O V E”

So here’s a little preview of Lauren & David’s cake topper… I’ll let you guess which pose.

Next we moved to Uptown Maumee. Lauren spotted this ivy alley I’d never noticed before…

Lauren & David have been together for almost 2 years. They are both super photogenic. Lauren, you have the prettiest smile!

My favorite shot of the session! Thanks Lauren & David for a fun afternoon.
