Philadelphia Engagement Session, Lauren & Kevin

I had a lovely Philadelphia Engagement session with Lauren & Kevin a few weeks ago! They brought along their baby, a Bernese mountain dog named Rufus. He was a big teddy bear, BIG, friendly and loving as ever. He really gets the attention, everywhere we went people were drawn to him, I mean how could they not be, he is beautiful! No wonder Lauren and Kevin wanted to have him along for photos, he was a great model. Lauren and Kevin are beautiful too, no denying that! Everyone shined in front of the camera and we had a lovely stroll around Old City that morning. I’m looking forward to seeing them again in March for their wedding, I don’t think Rufus will be there for that though. Thanks again you guys!

Kendall & Matt’s Engagement Shoot

Kendall and Matt are getting married in June! We had a wonderful time roaming around Ridley Creek Park for their engagement shoot. They are such a sweet pair, so natural with each other it made my job the icing on the cake!

Amber & Bill, Philadelphia Engagement Shoot

Amber and Bill are getting married on New Years Eve this year. Its sure to be quite the celebration. We met up in West Philly at the City Tap House for their engagement session. They spent a lot of time early in their relationship there and it holds a special place in their hearts. (We also had brunch there after our shoot and it was delish!) We also visited their old apartment building where they lived together for the first time. It was a great trip down memory lane. Bill’s son Xavier also joined us, he provided much entertainment and laughs.

Abby & Kyle, Philadelphia Engagement Shoot

Abby and Kyle are getting married on Saturday!! It was so great to walk around their neighborhood for some pre-wedding pictures! They have known each other since they were kids, they went to grade school together. Kyle has always had a crush on Abby but they didn’t get together until after college. Abby had some tickets to a game and put it out into the facebook world, Kyle responded and the rest is history! They are an adorable pair. I’m so excited to see them in a few days.

Trish & Pro, Conshohocken Engagement Shoot

Trish and Pro are a fun, smart and not to mention beautiful couple. We had a lot of laughs, mostly at Pro’s expense, and their dog Carlton of course took center stage.  We chose Conshohocken since that was where it all began for these two. You’d never guess we did half of our shoot in a parking lot, would you? The walking path along the river turned out to be gorgeous and I really felt I was in Florida and not outside of Philly.

We get to see these two pretty soon, they are getting hitched in one month! Its going to be quite the celebration! I can’t wait.

Julie & Jamie, Philadelphia Engagement Shoot

Julie and Jamie are getting married this fall down the shore. We wanted to make sure to include Jamie’s son Bryce in the shoot, he is an energetic little guy and is mastering the monkey bars! They will be moving out of the city soon, so we made sure to hit some of their favorite spots near their neighborhood. We had a gorgeous day! It was great getting to know you guys, see you again this fall.

Laurie & Chris, Rittenhouse Engagement Shoot

Laurie and Chris are getting married next June! I’ve known Laurie since she was a student at Drexel. I couldn’t be more excited to capture her wedding day for her and Chris!

We started with some drinks at Rittenhouse.

Then we just took a little tour around the area.

I think the wind cooperated with us on this one. 🙂

Twenty Manning was where they went for their first date. Awe.

Glad we beat that storm! Great evening with you guys!

Kelsey & Bill, Valley Forge Engagement Shoot

A lovely morning with Bill and Kelsey. Bill is in the army, just recently retuning from a fourth tour to Afghanistan. They are planning a wedding ceremony this winter in Philadelphia. It will be on their one year anniversary from a small court house wedding they had last year. Its going to be beautiful. Bill requested Valley Forge Park for their pictures. It has some great meaning for him and it was a great open space for the dogs.
Their pups. Kelsey’s companions when Bill is deployed. 🙂They are just big babies.It was great to spend the morning with you guys! Can’t wait to see you this winter!

Chelsea & Scott, NYC engagement shoot

Chelsea and Scott are getting married at the shore so we wanted to make sure to do their engagement shoot where they live in NYC.
We started off at the high line, which is a park created along an old rail line. Its amazing if you have never been.

one of my favorites
Aren’t they cute?!

After the high line we headed to central park.

And to end the day a shot on the roof of their building.It was a great afternoon! I’m looking forward to seeing you soon at the shore!

Michelle & Jace, Northern Liberties Engagement Shoot

I had so much fun with Michelle and Jace. We took pictures around their neighborhood and at their apartment, starting at Standard Tap where they had their first date. We didn’t time things exactly right and the Tap wasn’t open yet so we went over to Johnny Brenda’s for a drink and some photos there since it’s another favorite spot. Plus a cold one on warm day wasn’t a terrible idea. 🙂

After a little tour through the neighborhood we went back to their place to take advantage of the roof deck and to make a little lunch.
Bruce their black lab joined in as well.

Their space is amazing, just wait!!
Fresh Pasta is so so good. Jace is an excellent cook and Michelle is a happy assistant. 🙂
Ugh this space! Such an awesome apartment.
There were a few dirty tricks played. All fun and games right?
Couldn’t resist a little bling in the pasta.
Bruce enjoyed some pasta as well. 
Then things got a little dirty! haha! Flour fight!
Bruce got in on that action too.
So much fun you guys! I can’t wait for October.
