Devon and Rick’s Engagement at Valley Forge

Sunlit autumn fields, beautiful foliage, and a space that inspired imagination and creativity, Valley Forge National Park was a perfect place for Devon and Rick’s engagement. We explored different areas of the park – from the visitor’s center, to the famous arch, to an old farm and a hidden forest bridge, to Washington Memorial Chapel – all these places provided a variety of breathtaking views and settings for our session. All Devon and Rick had to do was smile and hold each other and the images just came together, showcasing their youth, beauty, and tender love for each other. We are so excited to work with this couple and are now looking to their wedding 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!

Ashley and Zach at Valley Forge Park

Having worked with Ashley and Zach at numerous weddings last year we knew they were an amazing couple and we really looked forward to working with them again, this time at their own engagement session. Their time together at Valley Forge Park was nothing if not romantic. They strolled through beautiful blooming trees, found a picturesque creek and a bridge, and blew dandelions at each other. If that wasn’t enough Zach, an awesome musician, played his guitar for Ashley. In an enormous green field. At sunset. Come on, it doesn’t get any more romantic than that!
