JoAnn and Tom’s engagement session almost didn’t happen as scheduled. After all, it’s common to reschedule winter engagement sessions due to bitter weather. The day before the scheduled session, it looked like the weather would be unbearably cold. After chatting with JoAnn, we decided to risk it. We had already rescheduled their engagement session once, so it was time to take a risk. Truthfully, the risk was worth it. The weather, while cold, was not as cold as I had feared. Plus, it was a beautifully sunny day. We a chance to keep warm by starting the session inside.
I met JoAnn and Tom at their downtown Cleveland apartment, high above the street level. Their city apartment could not have been more beautiful! Light was streaming in the windows from all around. It was light, airy and perfection. JoAnn and Tom were perfection too. They matched perfectly and were clearly ready to have some winter fun.
Like some many of my clients, JoAnn and Tom met during college, almost on the first day. If I understand correctly, they were living in the honors dorm and got to know each other quickly. With time, they started to date and the rest is history. With JoAnn now in law school, their engagement soon followed. For their session, we kept the plan simple. They wanted to highlight their current Cleveland home, since they’ll be married in Cincinnati. So, we simply wondered around downtown, stopping at interesting locations. To close the session, we visited Superior Viaduct for some of the best Cleveland city views around.
I certainly wish JoAnn and Tom a wonderful wedding in Cincinnati. I wish I could be there to celebrate the wedding with you. For everyone else, enjoy some highlights below, all captured on film –
For the technical among us, the above was all shot on Fuji Pro 400H and my trusty (although finicky) Contax 645 AF with dev/scanning by Richard Photo Lab.
