Chloe & Tyler

Downtown Cleveland sessions have my heart - the mix of old architecture, city energy, and soft light just gets me every time. Tyler and Chloe's engagement session was such a fun one to photograph. We hit a few of my favorite spots and somehow got the perfect blend of quiet, romantic moments, and that lively downtown feel.

We started in a little hidden garden right in the middle of the city. It's one of those places that feels tucked away, even though cars and people are just a street over. The light was beautiful, the colors were soft, it gave us a calm start before heading into the heart of downtown.

Our next stop, and my favorite part of the evening, was the Cleveland Public Library. I'll never get over how stunning that building is. The marble, the stairs, the arched windows... it's the perfect backdrop for a session. Tyler and Chloe wanted that timeless, city feel - and the library gave us just that. Everything about that spot felt classic and elegant, and the way they moved through it made the photos come alive.

We finished up on East 4th St - lights hanging overhead, people laughing, music playing - and it felt like the perfect ending. Chloe lit up instantly. She was smiling, relaxed, and completely in her element. There's one photo of them running across the crosswalk with the city behind them, just two people in love, right in the middle of the city they adore, and I'm obsessed with it.

The whole evening felt like them - relaxed, romantic, and full of life.
