Marie & Jay E Shoot....

It's Spring! It's Winter! It's Spring! It's Winter! I'm sure I'm not alone when I say this seems like one of the longest and hardest winters we have had in North Eastern Ohio in quite a while.... Just when you think it's over we get nailed with another wintery blast. Just like a few days before this Engagement shoot with Marie & Jay. We ended up in Marie's home town of Chardon Ohio and figured hey, it's Ohio, it's that up in that air mix between Spring and Winter and it is what it is.... Let's just go have some fun and make some cool pictures, so we did!

 I soooooooo love it when couples are able to just cut lose in front of the camera and be themselves.... Sometimes it's hard to forget about the guy looking through that big zoom lens trying to capture you as you like to think you are. But Marie and Jay...well they made it easy and shoots like this are just plain fun!

 With a mid April wedding date fast approaching, we can only wonder what Cleveland will bring us on their wedding day, but one thing is for certain...no matter what the weather outside, the love this couple shares will warm the hearts of all those around them on their wedding day....

You can see more of this shoot on http://www.t1photo.com/ thanks for stopping by and look forward to yet another big year from T1 Photo and his incredible couples!

T1 out!

Lindsey and Troy Engagement Shoot....

Welcome back campers! I know it's been a long, brutal Cleveland winter, but spring is just around the corner.... No really, I'm sure of it! At any rate, thank you so much to Lindsey and Troy for getting me out of the depths of my "Man Cave" and back to doing what I truely love.... being behind a camera!

Thank you to the beautiful Cleveland Hyatt for having such an amazing indoor location for us to use for escaping the cold slushy landscape we all call home.... and with that, I give you...the pictures!

Had a great time guys! Can't wait for the big day!

As always, feel free to show some love and leave a comment or 12!

Erin & Ryan E Shoot....

Thanks to Erin and Ryan for driving in from Erie this weekend to have their engagement shoot done down the street from my home.... We scheduled a little later than normal so we could get some really good sunset light, and wow did we hit it just right.... but you be the judge....

What a perfect rivalry to start off their journey together! I love it!

I'd just like to take a moment to thank Mother Nature for her help on this shoot! Amazing light last night girl....

Yet another great couple! Thanks again for driving all that way guys! You can see the rest of the shoot on my site http://www.t1photo.com/ go to the events gallery and then engagement shoots.... Hope you enjoy!

Rebecca & Taylor E Shoot....

Man have I been lucky with the weather lately.... what looked like a wash out again yesterday held off to allow me to have yet another incredible engagement shoot.... This time with Rebecca & Taylor. Very much looking forward to their wedding, they are a great couple and we had a blast walking around Chardon Square shooting.... Think we got some really good images! EnjoyTaylor's parents have a beautiful home and I had to show off the incredible architecture in a few shots around the house before we headed up town....

I saw this wall next to the police station on my way into town and thought it would be a cool back drop... then I came to find out from Taylor's mom that it was painted by some friends of hers in 1974! Wow, now that is cool! I think it worked perfect for a back drop!

Thanks again for a great time shooting yesterday guys! Hope everyone has a safe and fun Holiday weekend! As always, you can the rest of the shoot on my main site.... T1 out!

Sarah & Allen E Shoot

Another fantastic couple and another fantastic day to shoot! Sarah and Allen love Kelly's Island, the water, and sharing a bottle of wine with friends. So with that in mind, we tried to show some of that in their engagement picutes. We started off just down the street from my studio in a small local vinyard....

Sarah & Allen are also big fans of black and white, which I am too.... so for this blog post, I chose to stick with that concept through out....

From the vinyard we went down the street yet again to one of my favorit shooting spots, the lake..... It was a beautiful calm day and would have been a great day to be out on the water. Allen and I were both bummed that we weren't able to be out there.... but soon!

One of the things that I love most about this shooting location is that nature has a way of always changing it around.... If anyone followed my site last year, you probably noticed a huge drift tree that I did quite a few shots on. Well that tree is all but gone now, so the entire landscape of the beach has changed. Being that I do shoot some of the same locations over, I constantly try to mix things up to keep it fresh. I try to use different lighting, different angles, etc to give the shots a unique perspective.

I hope you all enjoyed this shoot as much as I did.... as always, check out http://www.t1photo.com/ to see the rest of the shoot. Thanks for stopping by!

Laurie & Jason E Shoot....

Wow! What a perfect way to start off the Cleveland wedding season! Perfect day, perfect weather, perfect light, and the perfect couple. This is also a perfect example of why I like to do the engagement shoots with my couples.... It allows me another day to meet with and get to know my couples, it is amazing what you learn about each other in just a short hour long shoot with them. When Laurie and Jason asked if they could bring their guitars along for the shoot, I was more than happy to say yes.

Remember what I was talking about when I said the light was perfect? Take a look at this first picture and judge for yourself....

From the beach we went to a cool little old time train station I found only a few minutes from my home/studio. It's amazing what you can find to shoot right in your own back yard, all you have to do is open your eyes when your out and about. My wife may bed to differ, she thinks I look around a little too much when I drive...but in this case, I think was worth it....

Love it!
