Ryan and Steve came in from Chicago for their engagement session a couple weekends back.  Cincinnati weather has been so bizarrely perfect this summer, but this evening we had picked out for the session was a scorcher.  These two had such a cheery disposition that they wiped the sweat from their brow and moved on.  :)  We really loved having the chance to hang out and get to know these two before their wedding day.

We didn’t realize that the place we had chosen for the session had a lot of things going on and was PACKED….but we walked around, rolled with the punches, and I loved what we came up with.

These two are so sweet and at ease with each other.  We really love that.

This is one of my favorites from the session….so very them.

Another sweet favorite.  Ryan, you are adorable.  :)

But my absolute favorite….

I LOVE this!

Que romantico….

A couple action shots of us….

while I laid on the ground to get shots (there were people walking by who thought I was nuts)…..

Brett balances on a rail, with his camera and backpack.  He is so ridiculous, but I love him.

Ryan and Steve, we are super excited for your wedding this October!  I know it is going to be a beautiful day and we so look forward to sharing it with you.

Chelli and Jeff drove down from Columbus to do a photo session with us.  We were so excited that they did!  They have been married for 16 years and had been talking about getting photos done of the two of them, but didn’t want the normal “cheesy” type shots.  Jeff is an old friend of Brett’s brother Jason from college.  When Jeff came across our work via Facebook, he decided to book with us.  We were honored to spend an evening with them in downtown Cincinnati.

We had the most PERFECT yummilicious light that night.  It couldn’t have been any better.

Love their smiles!  :)

FAVORITE.

So sweet.

This whole series ROCKED.

Then we went around and did some night shooting.

I really love this one too.  :)

Chelli and Jeff, thanks for taking time out to come down and hang with us.  Be sure to let us know if you are ever back in the ‘Nati!  :)
