I had photographed a wedding at Hale Farm once before, so getting the chance to come back again was incredible. There’s something so fun about returning to a venue already knowing some of its best little corners while still getting to see it completely differently through another couple’s wedding day.

As a Cleveland and Chicago wedding photographer, I’ve photographed both, and they each create completely different—but equally meaningful—moments. Your decision can also affect your wedding photography timeline, how much time you have for portraits, and how your cocktail hour flows.

As a Cleveland and Chicago engagement photographer, I've photographed couples everywhere from city streets and museums to beaches, parks, and lakefront locations. While every session is different, there are a few outfit choices that photograph beautifully almost every time.
