Although I am planning a wedding that is still 393 days away, I’ve decided to have our engagement photos taken this Saturday (tomorrow). Yes, I have been engaged since January 9th, 2011, but I have been putting off the engagement photos because I wanted to take some outside (and getting engaged in January in Cleveland, the weather outside is not so nice).
I did not book a photographer to take our engagement photos – instead, I am relying on my dad to brush up on his wedding photography skills. My dad, who currently works in the meat department at the local Heinen’s grocery store, used to have his own photography business. However, when digital cameras came out in the early 2000’s, his business took a hard hit and he had to look for employment elsewhere to provide for our family. Luckily, he saved all of his photography equipment and is willing to help my fiancé and me save a few bucks by taking our engagement photos!
So….the next big question was where to take the photos. I thought it would be nice to take our engagement photos where we had our first/second dates. Therefore, we will be taking photos at Progressive Field and at the North Chagrin Reservation Metroparks. I feel like we have to wear Indian’s t-shirts for the Progressive Field photos, and then probably something a little more formal for the pictures in the park. IF it rains (*knocks on wood*), then we can still take some photos at my dad’s old photography studio. However, I will be praying for warm weather and sunshine on Saturday so that we can take our photos outside!
I’d love to hear any thoughts on other outdoor locations to take engagement photos in CLE (just in case it rains tomorrow & we have to reschedule)! :D
