It was the day after Valentine's Day. We went to a nice restaurant, then walked to the Pentacrest, and he proposed on the steps of the Old Capitol Building." 102420-054102420-054 102420-064102420-064 102420-068102420-068 The water at the spillway was beautiful!  After weeks of it being dry, the recent rains had the water cascading down the rocks.  Stunning with the fall leaves! 102420-075102420-075 102420-076102420-076 102420-085102420-085 Margaret and Thiago's formal look for portraits was on point!!!  Seriously, so gorgeous!!  I love how her hair pops even more with her gorgeous pink satin skirt.  Thiago's light jacket is the perfect balance! 102420-094102420-094 Years before, they had a treasured photo taken of them dancing, so we made sure to get some dancing shots with the gorgeous glowing leaves.  I think these are my favorites from their whole session!! 102420-101102420-101 102420-103102420-103 102420-106102420-106 102420-117102420-117 After Lake MacBride, we headed over to Big Grove in Solon for some more urban portraits.  102420-120102420-120 102420-127102420-127 102420-139102420-139 We could not have had a more perfect evening for this beautiful couple! 102420-146102420-146 102420-154102420-154 102420-158102420-158 We had so much fun wandering around downtown Solon and finding new spots for portraits.  I love being able to explore areas I've been before to find hidden gems! 102420-164102420-164 102420-170102420-170 We ended the evening back at Big Grove, where they had their fire pit blazing.  Thankfully, the patio was empty so we were able to take advantage of the beautiful flames.  I don't know, maybe these are my favorites from their session!  I love how they turned out!! 102420-176102420-176 102420-179102420-179 Thank you so much, Margaret and Thiago, for allowing me to capture your engagement portraits!  It was so much fun getting to know you both and I am so excited for your wedding next July!!!
