Ray and John's Summer Engagement Session | Cinderella Bridge | Lanterman's Mill | Youngstown, Ohio

When I first met Raymond and John, it was through a video meeting in the middle of quarantine. Even through a virtual meeting, I could just tell that I’d have so much fun with them. And we certainly had a blast at their engagement session! The energy was so light and playful as we basically just hung out, getting to know each other and taking pictures. In case you were wondering, that is my ideal session vibe for sure! We laughed, we talked about family, we laughed some more as we walked around Mill Creek Park (Youngstown, Ohio). The suspension bridge (or as some call it, the Cinderella Bridge) made for a beautiful backdrop. We wrapped up the session at Lanterman’s Mill. Before the session, I knew the Mill held significance for these two but wasn’t entirely sure why. Once we got there and were chatting, we actually ended up in the same exact spot where Ray and John took their first picture together. I’m a sucker for sappy details like that, so we definitely had to recreate it!

It was a very lovely evening, which made me even more excited for their upcoming wedding at the DoubleTree in downtown Youngstown, Ohio. Not shockingly enough, the vibe for their wedding is light and fun, with a few touches of Fall in the wedding decor. Keep a lookout on my blog because you won’t want to miss those photos! TRUST ME! I can’t wait to share! But until then, enjoy these sweet moments and big laughs :]
