Brittany & Matt's Downtown Engagement Session

Brittany and Matt grew up in the same small Ohio town, went to the same high school and attended the same pumpkin festival for years. Their paths crossed every now and then but it wasn't until Matt was on leave from the air force that mutual friends took some initiative and arranged for the two to actually spend time together. These two are so laid back and fun; they made each other laugh throughout the entire photo shoot as we made our way to several of their favorite downtown Columbus spots in the eighty-five degree October weather... troopers. So looking forward to your wedding next fall, Brittany and Matt!  

Kate & Brett Lifestyle[d] Love Shoot

I think it's obvious why I immediately liked Kate the moment I met her - but if her strawberry locks and freckled complexion wasn't enough to win me over, her super sweet personality would have in no time. And wait until you watch this video of Brett's proposal - you'll instantly like him, too. He's pretty head over heels for Kate and they make a fabulous pair. The two love spending time together outdoors running, biking, sailing, and seeing movies - Up and Despicable Me two of their favorites. Brett is a sailing instructor (thus the sweet proposal hookup), so we spent some time in the hot sun at the Hoover Sailing Club in Westerville and then headed over to Studio 35 where I forced them to drink warm Coke... All styled by the fabulous Nichole R., of course. The photo of the boat in the first set is the one on which they were engaged - it just happened to sail on by while we were there. Dear Catherine S. let us borrow her bike at the last minute and those sweet stripey straws are from Jack & Lulu - check out the rest of their adorable collection! I had a blast with them and can't wait to celebrate their marriage later this summer!
