This past weekend I had an engagement session with a great couple who made the drive from Union City to Chrissy Field for Golden Hour (what photographers refer to as the hour before sunset when everything gets a beautiful golden glow). They have been dating for 7 years (she’s a very patient woman). Their first meeting story was great: he threatened to throw her over a balcony at a friend’s party. What an introduction. You could say he literally swept her off her feet! (Okay, that was really bad.) 
It was beautiful out and we made the most of the clear skies to get the Golden Gate Bridge in a few pictures.
She’s short so I couldn’t resist a tip-toe shot. (Not that I have any room to talk, just being barely 5 feet myself!)
I love going to Chrissy Field because it has so many great areas. I love grungy old industrial buildings – they just make a great backdrop.
They marry this fall and I’m so happy for them. It was incredibly obvious that they’re truly in love.
All the best, guys!

Philadelphia Engagement Photographer | Old City | Angela + Jim
My meeting with Angie and Jim was a long time coming. They live in Georgia so I had been meeting and talking a lot with Angie’s mother and having group Skype chats so it was with much anticipation to actually see these two in the flesh. It was sooo worth it.They are known as “the athletic couple”. Don’t let the pink and heels fool you; I was told early on that Angie is “no frou frou girl”. She plays soccer and they bike and have done several mudruns together. They are fit and sporty and absolutely adorable. They met at work. The story goes that Jim actually left the job so that he could ask Angela out. He didn’t want to have to face h ...
