Philadelphia Engagement Photographer | Chestnut Hill | Stephanie + Nick

Engagement

Stephanie and Nick’s courtship has been less than traditional. The meeting, first kiss, etc. The second time they went out, he picked on her like a schoolboy (boys only do that to girls they really like, by the way). The day he proposed, Nick picked a fight with Stephanie to throw her off – it was later that evening when they were in the car outside of a restaurant where they were to be greeted by friends that he popped the question. She was so blindsided that she was speechless (she obviously said yes). Time from proposal to wedding is 5 months and yes, it can be done. They’ll be getting married at the gorgeous Glen Foerd Mansion this October.

We met in Chestnut Hill to wander around for their engagement session.

We choose those we like; with those we love, we have no say in the matter.

Jun and Bin met about 4 years ago at a party. Her roommate was his best friend. Things gradually and naturally developed into something more. So much more that they’ll be getting married in China next month. They love going on adventures together – from skiing to rafting. I asked what they do together to go on dates, etc and Bin told me that their life is always romantic. Perfection!We met at the Philadelphia Art Museum for an extended engagement session that included a few outfit changes and spots along the way. Here are a mere handful of the images we got that day. Enjoy!  Jun and Bin, congratulations on your engagement and al ...

Sarah + Kevin: Engagement Session in West Chester
She was in New York for a friend’s birthday. She arrived at the spot early as the band was setting up. He was in the band. They chatted and hit it off. That was four years ago and I'll be photographing their wedding this June.Sarah, Kevin, and I met up the other week in West Chester for their chilly but sun-kissed engagement session. In the process I learned about Kevin’s vast knowledge of every food establishment in the city (he recommends Buddy’s burgers, Iron Hill, and Culinary’s, by the way), their pooch, Hazel, who was this close to being a part of the shoot, and the romantic way Kevin visited Sarah in New York one Christmas Eve, to ...
