Plan Your Surprise Proposal in the Arcade
A surprise proposal is exciting enough without worrying about where your photographer will stand. We can talk beforehand about your plans, the location, and how to keep it a secret.
When it’s time, I’ll concentrate on the proposal as it unfolds. Afterward, we can make portraits while you enjoy being engaged.
Historic architecture, beautiful interior details, and moments that belong to the two of you. The Arcade offers a memorable setting for a surprise proposal or relaxed engagement portraits.
Let’s Plan Your Engagement Photos
Tell me what you’re picturing: a small or large Cleveland venue, or a place that matters to you. I’ll help you choose a setting and plan the timing for the best light.
Architecture That Becomes Part of Your Story
The Arcade offers balconies, staircases, repeating lines and warm interior light. I enjoy finding compositions that show both your connection and the character of the location. Some photographs can feel grand and architectural; others can be quiet and close.

Comfortable Portraits, Not Complicated Posing
You don’t need to know how to pose. I’ll offer clear direction, help you find flattering light and leave room for natural smiles, conversation and affection.
I will create a variety of photographs, from closer portraits to wider compositions that show where you were.
The Arcade’s beautiful staircases, balconies and architectural details provide plenty of opportunities for different backgrounds and perspectives.
I’ll help you feel comfortable in front of the camera while encouraging you to interact naturally with each other. Sometimes the best photographs happen between poses, when you’re laughing, sharing a quiet moment or simply enjoying being together. My goal is to capture your personalities and connection while making the experience relaxed, enjoyable and memorable.
Indoor Engagement Photography in Cleveland
An indoor setting can be a beautiful alternative to gardens and lakefront locations. The Arcade’s architecture gives your gallery a distinctive Cleveland character. We’ll confirm any access requirements and plan around the conditions of the location.
Room for Playful and Quiet Moments
Some couples enjoy a lift, a spin, or a playful walk. Others prefer holding hands, leaning together, or taking a moment without much movement. We can include more than one mood in your photographs.
I offer ideas while watching for the expressions and interactions that happen between them. A laugh after a pose can be just as worth keeping as the portrait we planned.
