Alison and Brian - Engagement Session

I met up with Alison and Brian this past weekend for their engagement session. Alison mentioned to me that one of the things she and Brian like to do is to explore old buildings, so she was really happy with the thought of taking pictures at Squires Castle at the North Chagrin reservation.

One thing I've been doing lately is asking for a favorite song. The song that you plan to play when you walk down the aisle, or the song that will play as you share your first dance, or even a song that just makes you smile when you think of your significant other. Knowing the lyrics of the special songs that move you inspire me to incorporate some unique aspects to some of the pictures I take.

The songs that Alison and Brian chose were lighthearted and fun, but also very meaningful. This, I think, pretty much describes Alison and Brian too. They were so easy going and friendly. And they laughed a lot :-) It is so apparent that they love each other very much.

There's a beautiful contrast to Alison and Brian, photographically speaking. He is talk and dark and she is petite and fair. It made for some really beautiful and emotive pictures.
