Philadelphia Engagement Photographer | Art Museum | Carly + Billy

Engagement

Carly and Billy are getting married this weekend at the Bellevue.  I have good reason to believe it’s going to be a gorgeous event (and hopefully Carly’s mother, Fern, will be able to sit back and just enjoy the fruits of her labor.  We’ll see about that.).

I met up with them the other week for their engagement pictures around the Art Museum.  We had a beautiful breezy, sunny day and my lovebirds couldn’t have been better!  We started with a stroll down Boathouse Row.

They started dating 7 years ago in college.  They had been in the same circle of friends since freshman year but didn’t become an item til later on.

Carly is the impulsive one.  She knew right away that Billy was the one.

She moved to New York to be with him after finishing up her masters.

It was at her parents’ lake house that Billy popped the question.  Carly had no idea it was coming.  Like many nights there, they wandered out to the dock to share some wine and take in the day.  Family back at the house watched and snapped pictures from afar as he got down on one knee.

I’m so looking forward to seeing them soon for their fusion wedding!  It’s going to be fabulous!

Allow me to introduce Ashley, Jeff, & Jackson! We had a fantastic family/engagement session at Ridley Creek State Park.Ridley Creek State Park is beautiful. It has this glorious stone mansion, gardens, gazebo, fountains, trails, and greenery everywhere. It was quiet and we practically had the place to ourselves. Ashley & Jeff made such a good choice in choosing this park for their e-session and I'm so pleased with the results. I also love their clothing choice – preppy yet casual. I feel like this gorgeous couple could have walked right out of the pages of J. Crew.Without further ado, here are the results…This one is absolutely ...

They worked in different departments but one particular job made their paths cross…We scoped out La Colombe, the first place they had coffee together.It must be great ...
