Saturday I spent the afternoon with Teresa & Chris.  I had been thinking about their engagement shoot for a long time.  We had talked a lot about what we wanted to do and they did not want to do the typical engagement shoot pictures, which is always fine by me I love doing different things!  After a little interview with them about the things they liked to do together we decided a documentary type of shoot would suit them best.  We headed to the Reading Terminal to do some shopping for an awesome lunch.  Teresa and Chris are happiest cooking, hanging out in their new home (her grandma’s old house) and chilling with their pup Buckley. It was a great day and such a nice change of pace for me, challenging and fun.

We started by picking out the wine for the day, we also tasted some.

We picked out some fresh produce.

Before making lunch we took Buckley for a walk down to where Teresa’s parents used to live.  The mural arts program did this awesome mural on the side of their house and it means a lot to Teresa and her family history.  The girl in the mural is actually her sister and the dog was their old family beagle.  So sweet.  It was cool to include Buckley in the mix. big yawn!

I love this one of them.

A few little details

Looks delicious!

Buckley waiting for goodies to magically drop.  He was actually waiting for the strawberries, he loves them.

The usual sight in their household.

Now the fun begins! During my little interview with them in trying to decide the best way to do this engagement session Teresa said that cooking and hanging out was what they really loved to do together.  That Chris was athletic and liked to cycle, while she was content to go to cocktail parties and dress up.  Well that’s just perfect if you asked me so I suggested they each dress up with what they like to do and we would make some fun images out of it.  When I arrived on Saturday I was very excited about this portion of they day and hoped they were still up for doing this, I had been thinking of it for months.  They were and we had a blast with this part of the shoot, as you can see.

d hehehe! LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Buckley was mostly interested in eating the rose. 🙂 Such a fun fun day!  I had a great time with you guys.  We are going to have a blast on the wedding day. Hugs to Buckley and his super soft ears.
