Updated: Mar 8, 2021
Leeeet's face it. Northeast Ohio gets COLD. I mean, really cold. And while snowy outdoor sessions are beautiful, sometimes it's nice to find a classy, beautiful indoor location to weather the cold! We get asked quite a bit about the best indoor spots for photos, so here are just a few of our favorite indoor locations to keep in mind when planning your session or wedding!

1. The Arcade, Cleveland
This beautiful venue is perfect for a classy engagement or couple's session. It offers string lights, staircases, and a great view, as well as restaurants to grab that after-session coffee or snack. ;) It is open from 7AM-7PM Monday through Sunday.

2. The SuperElectric Pinball Parlor, Cleveland
With a bright colored wall outside, pinball machines, fun pops of colors everywhere, this parlor is great for gamers, or a retro couple or senior session.
3. SureHouse Coffee, Wooster
This coffee shop is perfect for a cozy, casual session, and one of my favorites. The downtown area near it is super cute for photos, as well!

This museum is a gold mine of different photo options! It is one of the only art museums in Northeast Ohio that actually allows photography, and offers so much, from towering architecture, to a beautiful glass house that offers a great outdoor view, to a display of thread art in all different colors.

This spot has a super fun flamingo and tropical vibe! (Not to mention their donuts look absolutely amazing!)
