Within the state of Ohio, especially where I live, has many beautiful locations for portraits! Grace and Bryan chose to have their Gibsonburg, Ohio engagement session at the Silver Rock Quarry. Surrounded by a “secret” sandy beach, lush greenery around walking trails, and a large body of water; one of the best romantic spots for engagement photos! ❤️
As you have witnessed with my past engagement couples, I usually have a connection with either the bride or groom-to-be. I’ve known Grace since I was involved with Champion All-Stars (a competitive cheerleading team). Grace attended a local area school, just one town over from me. Not only did I see her at high school basketball games, but I also cheered with her on the competition floor. From cheering alongside her to helping coach her, I was fortunate to watch Grace grow up. Now she’s officially engaged and getting married to Brian in October!
I can add Grace and Bryan to my list of the most amazing couples that I have the opportunity to work with! They drove one and a half hours to meet me at the beautiful Silver Rock Quarry in Gibsonburg, Ohio. From seniors to engagement sessions, this place is a sweet spot for portraits in Gibsonburg, Ohio. 👌🏼 This location is so versatile with so many spots that I can shoot at! Which allows me to have more than just ONE session there a year.
Grace and Bryan met on the dating app, Hinge. However, if you ask Bryan, he can provide probably ten different made-up stories about how they met, and each one is crazier than the last. Grace’s favorite story is when she saved his life skiing in the Swiss Alps, but the truth is much lamer! 🤣 Bryan is from the Pittsburgh area where Grace completed her residency. Their first date was a whole hot mess, but they managed through and saw the silver lining.
Grace and Bryan got engaged on December 22, 2023. He took her to a scenic overlook in Pittsburgh where they had one of their first dates. He proposed there overlooking the whole city. Afterward, Brian had a giant surprise party planned with their families and closest friends. It was the best night ever! 💍 Grace said she knew it was coming, but the absence of surprise did not affect how excited she was. 🥰
Time is an absolute thief, but I LOVE being able to touch base with old friends. I’m even more honored to be their wedding photographer. YEARS may have gone by from the last time we truly saw each other, but that’s OKAY! As long as we make up for time lost. ❤️
It was great to catch up with Grace, meet Bryan, and see the strong connection these two have for each other. Thank you both for asking me to be your photographer for your Gibsonburg, Ohio engagement session! I’m looking forward to your beautiful October wedding at The Cleveland Arcade venue, in Cleveland, Ohio. 🤩
The fall season is upon us! If shooting your engagement photos at the Silver Rock Quarry is in your plans, I’m excited to be a part of it! Reach out to me so we can set a date!
