You’re in for a treat if you’re reading this blog & seeing these photos of this beautiful couple! Natalie & Stefano are so well-suited for one another & are a joy to be around! We loved our time with them for their engagement session at Beaver Creek State Park and at a really neat & unique castle in Rogers, Ohio. We also got to meet their dog Cara and she was very sweet & energetic. 
Natalie’s hair & makeup was super on point! Jen from Sin Pretty Beauty (highly recommend, Brides!) had the honor of making Natalie all fancy for her engagement photos.
We are really looking forward to this date! We get to shoot at a new venue (to us) for their wedding day & we’re really excited for that. . . not to mention, obviously we can’t wait to celebrate with these two as they say “I do!”
I can’t with how beautiful Natalie is! She has the most striking eyes & a smile that would cheer anyone’s day. And Stefano is the cause for many of her smiles.
We’re so glad these two met through Stefano’s sister. They are such a great match! 
Beaver Creek State Park definitely has a lot of pretty spots for engagement photos! And it was really close to the castle in Rogers where Natalie really wanted some of their photos to be taken so it all worked out really well.
And here it is! This is Whispering Pines Castle in Rogers (near New Waterford & East Palestine). It is the old Adams Castle & now is used as an event venue for various types of events. It had some great Fall vibes going on & was perfect for exactly what Natalie & Stefano wanted for their photos. 
We love their connection & their sweetness together. The way they feel about each other is evident. They love to play PS4 together & share an interest in a lot of the same games & TV shows. Their personalities mesh really well. They bring one another joy. So when Stefano got Natalie an engagement ring, he had an elaborate plan to build a video game level for her & propose that way, but then they had the most perfect conversation at dinner one evening about their future, goals, plans, and how everything was aligning so well for them. He knew that moment was absolutely perfect & couldn’t help but ask right then. He just couldn’t wait any longer. How sweet is that?! 
We delivered a huge engagement gallery to them, but we just couldn’t help it. There were too many great photos & we didn’t want to hold any back! 
And we even had a beautiful Ohio sunset that evening.
Thank you so much for choosing us to be your engagement & wedding photographers, Natalie & Stefano! We are honored & can’t wait for the big day next August!
