Marisa and Tim’s Engagement at Camden Aquarium

The lives of Marisa and Tim, the way they met, and the way Tim popped the question have a lot to do with water. Plus Marisa loves the Aquarium and all its beautiful creatures. So when the couple suggested they wanted to shoot their engagement session at the Camden Aquarium we got super excited – talking about a new and unique place to shoot! The session went great. We maneuvered between school field trip groups, giant tanks, and underwater tunnels and got some amazing shots that portraits all the sea worlds and Marisa and Tim’s love for each other just so perfectly. Here are some of our faves.

Kathleen and Michael’s Engagement in Old City

Kathleen and Michael had their first date at a cute pizzeria in the heart of Old City. On veteran’s day – appropriate as Michael is in the military – we recreated the moment of their instant initial attraction right where it all first began. We then took a stroll through those unique streets that make Philadelphia what it is – a charming town where old meets new and when love flourishes. From the American Street, where American flags show the pride, to the Ben Franklin bridge – the iconic symbol of Philly, we captured moments of Kathleen and Michael’s tender love for each other in the city they call home. We had a wonderful time and can’t wait for the couple’s wedding next year – none other as on the Flag Day!

Cynki and James’ Engagement at Valley Forge Park

Cynki and James were super prepared for their engagement session – they picked the gorgeous autumn-colored Valley Forge Park as their setting, they looked stunning, they had an emotional supporter/make up artist on hand, and – how exciting! – they brought props. The props were awesome not only because we got to play with a variety of cute things – some of which Cynki and James made themselves – but also because they represented the couple’s hobbies, interest, and personalities, adding so much character to the engagement session. We had hand-painted mugs, heirloom blanket, traditional Coca-Cola bottles, an old camera that represented James’ love for photography, and lots of books that showed the couple’s love for reading and storytelling. It was a great day in the park and it was so much fun to get to know Cynki and James a little better!
