Delaware County Engagement Photographer | Ridley Creek State Park | Hannah + Travis

Engagement

Hannah and Travis met about four years ago where she was a bartender and he was “security”. The first time they talked she noted that he looked familiar. He responded, “no” and walked away. You see, Travis gets nervous around pretty girls. A few days later he realized that she was right and that they actually went to the same small high school. It took about a month later before he got the nerve to talk to her again.

Needless to say, they worked it out. They booked a few months ago but I met them the first time at their engagement session at Ridley Creek State Park in Media, PA. They brought the two new family members, Lana and Jack – one a 10 month old pitt/lab mix and the other an 8 month old yellow lab. I think Hannah and Travis know that they’re crazy for taking on two puppies, a wedding, and a house.

Somehow we had the most incredible day. The light was golden, the weather was perfect, and we practically had the place to ourselves.

Walking around with two puppies is no easy task.

There is a whole series on the steps where they’re showing me their ‘canoodling’ and completely cracking up that I just adore.

Travis took Hannah back home under the ruse of her mother’s birthday. He has finagled it so that she was allowed off work. They first went to his parents’ place where they took a walk with the pups on the large property. They stopped at a spot with a fantastic vista where there was champagne and he popped the question with ring that held the stone his father gave his mother.

I am so looking forward to their Brantwyn Estate wedding next September in Wilmington, DE! It’s going to be awesome!

“Words can never fully say what we want them to say, for they fumble, stammer, and break the best porcelain. The best one can hope for is to find along the way someone to share the path, content to walk in silence, for the heart communes best when it does not try to speak.”
~ Margaret Weis

Philadelphia Engagement Photographer | Philadelphia Art Museum | Stacy + Joe
I have been on the edge of my seat to show you these pictures for ages. A computer malfunction kept me away from these beloved files for far too long! Stacy is bright and smiley and Joe is the grounded one. They met at a bar about 9 years ago in college (just like in the fairy tales). They were dating for a year and she didn’t even know his real first name since he went by his last name to everyone. This became a little awkward when she called his house and realized he was one of 10.Needless to say, this was sorted out and Stacy and Joe will be getting married next month in two separate weddings, one here in Philly and another in Stacy’s ...

Philadelphia Engagement Photographer | Society Hill | Lisa + Stephen
Lisa appears to be part mouse.  After all, her first date with Stephen ended with the fastest kiss on record and her skittering away through her gate.  I’ll get to more of that later.  The part of Lisa that isn’t small, bright-eyed, and fast holds a huge heart, abundant laughter, and a goofiness that bursts out among friends. Stephen is the dapper, thoughtful  gentleman on her arm.  And he is a gentleman.  He’s a holds-the-door, finds-the--only-green-Eagles-superbowl-shirt-in-the- city-for-Lisa, mails-her-classroom-supplies-from-across-the-world, and cooks-for-her kind of gentleman. Unrelated: he is a ...
