Jason & Brittany’s E-Session

We met Jason and Brittany down in Chargrin Falls for their engagement session not too long after Michael’s and Allison’s session, and we were yet again greeted with some great October weather to shoot in! Eventhough Chagrin Falls is a little bit of a drive for us, it provides such an awesome backdrop for not only enaggement portraits but for weddings as well. Its great to see there are still some places that really capture the essence of small town Americana right around the corner. Brittany and Jason did great in the front of the lens, and we captured some really nice images!

Despite the fact that we get winter about 10 months out of the year here in Northeast Ohio, at least we can still brag about the fall color!

Michael & Allison’s E-Session

Back in October we met up with a couple we’ve been excited for since the day they booked us!  Michael and Allison booked us at a bridal show last year, and we immediately nicknamed them “The Movie Stars”.  Not only are they both beautiful on the outside and what ANYONE would think of as the ideal engaged couple, but they are beautiful on the inside too!  They are crazy about each other and as perfect of a match as I have ever seen!  Allison just sparkles when Michael looks at her!  Not only were they a blast to photograph, but we also discovered that Michael is an amazingly talented photographer as well!  He brought along an album he made for Allison from their actual engagement and Ted and I both had to stand up and shake his hand for his amazing eye and use of light.  I have to say that seeing that album pushed us just a little harder than usual! :)

The Wedding of Emily & Chris

Here’s another wedding Ted and I have been counting down the days to shoot!  Back when we booked Emily and Chris, we knew we were going to love them when they changed their date to Sunday so that we could photograph their wedding.  The real treat however, was having them in front of the camera!  They are so fluid and natural together - they do everything we think of before we can even suggest it!  I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that they live in Hawaii (we’re not jealous)…  Either way, it was an all around wonderful day for us, shooting with an amazing couple, perfect size bridal party, amazing family, and spending the day with our favorite videographers Brian and Susy from 2nd Mile.

There were many tears shed that morning, especially when this card from Chris came out…

These rings are pretty amazing.  Chris’s ring has wood from Hawaii built into it.

Emily took a dive to get into her dress:

This was a total photo ninja moment:

Emily and Chris are at their best when they are together, but they’re pretty gorgeous by themselves too! Check out this groom:

Emily’s parents, though they don’t live in Hawaii, have a beautiful house in Chagrin Falls.  I found a little pocket of light in this stairwell…

I think Chris was excited to get married!

It’s hard to NOT get good images with families like these:

I would gladly be adopted into this family!

I think Emily’s parents had this day and this shot in mind when they picked this AMAZING color for their house (check out those eyes! *swoon*):

This is the first and probably only time that my bride walked to the church from her home!

Seconds before walking down the aisle and Emily is cracking up with her dad!  I love it!

We only had this car for one minute, but we worked it!

hossellman_15

I think this one of the nicest bridal party times ever!  We just walked around downtown Chagrin Falls and stopped where ever we thought was cool!  Ted’s first stop:

hossellman_16

Is it sad that a wall like this makes me excited?

hossellman_17

Of course, we had to stop for the classic popcorn shop shot!

hossellman_18

I don’t think they ever get tired of each other!

There was several people including a total stranger that suggested this shot:

Chagrin Falls is one of our favorite places to shoot because of the multitude of different locations in such a small area.

On to the reception where we went straight into the first dance:

Mom and Dad looking on with happiness!  :)

Since that day was the longest day of the year, our end of the night shot ended up being a sunset shot.  I adore that light!

hossellman_24

I spotted this last stop at the top of a hill.  I hate making a bride hike in a wedding dress, but I think it was worth it!  LOVE this last image from Ted.  Perfect end to a perfect day!

Thanks for an amazing day guys!
