Veronica and Donnie wanted artistic engagement pictures in Cleveland Arcade. Veronica was a bridesmaid in Lydia and Justin’s wedding and I was honored when she contacted me to document her wedding the day after she got engaged!

We discussed the regal nature of the Arcade and that the pictures would have no choice but to be dramatic. Veronica and Donnie indicated that that is exactly what they wanted (Score!). I have a TON of experience at the Arcade having shot weddings, engagement sessions, proposals and senior portraits there for years.

With so much experience shooting there, I really wanted to look at the space differently. We were, obviously, still going to feature the Arcade as our backdrop, but I wanted to do it in a way that I hadn’t done before. Do it in a way that’s never been done before, if that’s possible. Donnie and Veronica couldn’t have been any better. They were SO great and I am excited for their wedding later this year.

This is the result.
