“Eventually I would have to move to Pittsburgh” Lindsay noted. For a Clevelander, that is just a tough thing to say. For most people, the Browns vs. Steelers rivalry might make it impossible. Lindsay also notes “He is my best friend and I love him to death.” I guess that makes a moving from Cleveland to Pittsburgh easier. Oh, and they are both Bengals fans?!

Lindsay and Patrick met as members of a business fraternity while attending Kent State University. At first they knew each other as friends. They grew closer and by Lindsay’s 21st birthday their relationship was moving in fast forward. After a stint of long distance dating, they have finally found themselves in the same city again and soon to be the same family. For their engagement session, we thought nothing could be better than to return to where it all began.

While just a bit chilly, we were happy to have some beautiful March weather. The Kent State University campus is gorgeous. Not to mention, there is a very interesting rock on the campus. Well, more like a boulder…a very pretty boulder. Traditionally, people paint the boulder on a regular basis. Lindsay and Patrick even took their turn. By regular basis, I mean nearly hourly. By the time we left, Lindsay and Patrick’s message was painted over.

Here are just a few of my favs from the day, including some hot painting action -

This next one is on film and it’s definitely a favorite

Lindsay and Patrick took me to one of their favorite college dive bars. Thankfully with permission (and some added light) we were able to get some nice pictures inside
