Jessi + Josh: Engagement Session in Love Park

Engagement

Jessi and Josh came up from Newark, DE last Friday for an engagement session over at Love Park in Philadelphia. It’s almost sacrilege that I’d never been there before. We were all surprised by how small the LOVE statue actually is.


They were an adorable couple and Love Park really seemed to fit. It was cute and urban to match Jessi and Josh’s fun, hipster style.



Not only were they sweet as can be, but Jessi had these stunning turquoise eyes and Josh had a pair of big brown beauties.




We got off to a late start due to traffic and had planned to check out another site, but we ended up just playing around the little square once the sun set. It actually made for a great nighttime cityscape.


They changed into something a bit more formal and really played up the ‘out on the town’ feel. I loved it! I mean, really, how cute is Jessi!?






Josh is in a band so I asked them to rock out for me for a few pics…


Just a fun, really easy-going couple. You guys were fantastic! Congratulations!
