Taylor + Gabriel Lifestyle[d] Engagement Session

Lily Glass December 7, 2011

Taylor and Gabriel had each other laughing the entire session. These two have so much going on in their busy lives right now (moving into a new house, owning and maintaining a business, writing grants... as if planning a wedding wasn't enough), but when they're together, it's obvious that they are able to relax and simply enjoy one another. We went to a local quarry - the location of their first date - and then spent some time on Grandview Avenue, a strip full of their favorite eateries: The Grandview Cafe, Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream and Stauf's Coffee. We had such a great time; so looking forward to your Spring wedding!

Ryan & Lauren's German Village E-Session

Lily Glass October 20, 2011

These two little blonde-bombshells had me cracking up during the entire session. Ryan and Lauren braved the high winds of last weekend as we explored the ever-lovely German Village of Columbus, starting in Schiller Park and then wandering through the streets to Pistacia Vera. Along the way we were invited to use a super cute backyard filled with grapevines; German Village's quiet streets are full of fantastic backdrops and tasty treats. It was a perfect little evening filled with fabulous light, yummy treats and their contagious spirit of content love and fun personalities - can't wait for your wedding, Ryan and Lauren!

Mary & Patrick's Akron Enagegment Session

Lily Glass October 11, 2011

My conversation with Mary began while Ben and I were in Italy; when she ended one email with "eat some gelato for me," I knew we would be friends. She and her fiance, Patrick, are Akron natives and have known each other since middle school. In classic adolescent genius, Mary traded lockers with a friend which landed her conveniently close to the cute upperclassman with killer blue eyes. (Does this scream The Wonder Years to anyone else? And also, they both have killer blue eyes.) The rest is high school sweet heart history. After getting to know Mary and Patrick, I met with stylist-extraordinaire, Nichole R. who provided us with a great inspiration board which provided Mary with some direction as she scouted locations for our Akron engagement session. And while I'm pretty sure there were a thousand other things that Patrick would have rather been doing (he did admit that this was preferable to a shopping day at Easton - score one for Lily), I think he was pretty content to be with his stunning fiance in that fabulous dress. Thanks for soaking up that delicious evening light with me, Mary and Patrick - can't wait for next June!
