A Picnic on the Shoreline
We spent the evening with them at Mentor Headlands Beach for an engagement session filled with sunshine, shoreline views, a cozy picnic and, of course, cake.

The whole session felt relaxed and personal, which gave us plenty of chances to capture the little moments that make this season of life special. From sitting together by the water to celebrating with cake, it felt more like a date night than a traditional engagement session.
An Evening at Mentor Headlands Beach


Mentor Headlands Beach is a beautiful place for engagement photos and video, especially when you can slow down and enjoy the evening together. The lake, the beach and the warm light made a lovely backdrop for Hayley & Matt's session.
We love when couples bring pieces of their relationship into their engagement session. Those personal details make the photos and film feel like more than beautiful images.

More Than Photographs
Some memories deserve to be more than photographs. They deserve to move, unfold and bring you right back to how the evening felt. We're so happy we got to capture this part of Hayley & Matt's story.
