I was so excited to meet Brian & Christy last weekend — we had had plenty of email conversations to date, but had yet to meet face to face due to the fact that they currently live in DC! Originally from Cleveland, they wanted to document some CLE love as well through out their engagement, and I couldn’t have been more happy when Christy jumped on Ohio City as an option :)

When you think about it..it’s a little unusual to meet a couple for the very first time & then jump right in to taking their pictures and encouraging PDA within a matter of minutes (haha!). But really, that’s what I love about this job! While we may have shaken hands at the beginning of the session, we were all hugging when we said goodbye, and that’s my favorite :)

Enjoy!

We made sure to hit all big Ohio City landmarks…so obviously the Westside Market got a lot of love :)

How gorgeous is Christy?! Love this shot!!



Love this one so much!

They’re the sweetest :)

And so much fun, too!!

LOVE the laughter they share :) 


So so sweet!


After circling the main streets of Ohio City, we popped into the market for some balcony photos above!
And, of course, we made sure to stop by Christy’s favorite shop :) 
At the end of our session, Brian & Christy surprised me with a super fun outfit change — into their Browns jerseys! Even though they may not live in Cleveland anymore, it will always be home :) LOVE these next few so much!

So so so sweet :)
Brian & Christy,

Thank you so much for making the trek out to Cleveland — I had SUCH a great time meeting you both & absolutely cannot wait for your big day!!! These next 8 months will fly by before you know it, so make sure to keep laughing through it all & notice the little things :) Enjoy your photos!!

Love love love,

Sami
