When I first met Samantha + James, I fell in love with their excitement for their upcoming wedding day and Samantha’s super bubbly personality!! I was looking so forward to their engagement session and getting to know them even more!!

We had such a great time at the Cleveland Museum of Art for their engagement session! It is the place where they got engaged (LOVE!) and where Samantha’s mama & dad had their wedding portraits taken years ago!! If you’ve been reading my blog for any time, you know how much I love when a couple chooses a location that has meaning to them!! 🙂

Samantha’s mama also came along for the session and brought a tandem bike to take portraits with that she had purchased for her husband on their 25th anniversary! She hopes to have each of her daughter’s (she’s got three!!) take portraits with this bike at all of their engagement sessions! I just love that!! And we certainly all had a great laugh with riding the bike but my goodness it was soooo cute!!

We finished the session with a beautiful sunset and a champagne popping! Only the champagne bottle popped before we were all ready! LOL! Thank goodness we were able to get it to bubble up again for some of *the most* adorable engagement portraits ever!! Enjoy some of my favorites from their engagement session!! Samantha & James, I am sooo excited that I get to be apart of your big day!!
