For Kevin & Stephanie’s engagement photos, we drove to the Fellows Riverside Gardens in Youngstown, OH, near to where they will be getting married this summer.  The gardens are absolutely gorgeous and have sweeping fields and cozy nooks spread throughout, so many cute places to shoot there. But while the location was amazing, the weather could have used a little work.  Don’t be fooled by their cute springtime clothes- it was forty degrees and sleeting most of the day. But with sweaters and a short break for hot chocolate they withstood the cold! It was totally worth it.

“You’ll have to tell us exactly what to do,” Stephanie says, “we don’t know anything about posing.” But by the end of the session, everyone was laughing and shouting out ideas and saying. “Oh! What if we do this!” We had a spectacular amount of fun. Definitely looking forward to their wedding in July (which, from what Stephanie has told me about it, will be amazing.) In the meantime, a little bit of early springtime love. xx
