As Meredith and I began discussing plans for her and Matt’s engagement session, she threw out an idea that I never in a million years would have thought we would actually be able to do!!  But we made it happen!!!  Akron, OH is home to the Soap Box Derby, and the awesome owners were kind enough to allow us to take over the track for an afternoon for some engagement session fun!  And man did we have fun!  Meredith and Matt selected their cars, and the race was on!  The competition was fierce, but if I recall correctly they both won a round.  We hung out in the bleachers after the races and even found a GORGEOUS field right behind the track that we took advantage of while the cars were being set up for us!  After our time at the soap box derby, we drove to a nearby park for golden hour portraits – my favorite!

Meredith and Matt, you guys are awesome!!  I loved spending the day with you and hearing you two share your stories with me.  These guys met online, hit it off, and the rest is history!  Matt proposed to Meredith during sunset at the Grand Canyon (how romantic is that?!), and these two will be celebrating their wedding this fall at The Overlook in Kent!  So excited to be a part of the festivities, thank you for inviting me to capture it all with my camera Meredith and Matt!  Take a look at just some of my favorites from your engagement session!

While we were waiting for the cars to get set up at the track, we took advantage of this amazing field right by the parking lot!

Meredith brought along her mama’s wedding veil for some fun pictures!  So glad she did!
