Philadelphia Engagement Photographer | Old City | Sarah + Ryan

Engagement

These two beautiful people graced me for an evening of tromping all overt Old City the other day.  They’re new in town, having moved from Florida in May.

Ryan’s only request was water so we met at Race Street Pier to begin the pictures.  They were naturals from the first second.

The two met at a country bar in Orlando two years ago.  Ryan walked in looking preppy as can be with rolled red pants, a linen shirt, and boat shoes.  Sarah just had to send a picture of this guy to her friends via Snapchat.  He caught her doing it and the rest is history!

They were at DisneyWorld in January.  He managed a romantic private nighttime boatride and explained it as a perk from a family member who worked there.  Once the fireworks started going off, he popped the question.

She always knew that she wanted to get married at Disney so they’ll be tying the knot there next spring.

For now, they’re living the life in a new home near Allentown with their two pooches while Ryan commutes to Manhattan for work.

Thank you both so much for wandering around this fair city and looking so amazing in the process (hellooooooo, Louboutins!).

[the value of] an Engagement Session
I love, love, love shooting e-sessions. A lot of people have heard me go on and on about this before, but I really mean it – engagement pictures are so worthwhile for many reasons…1) The connection. Wedding days are busy and your photographer will be right there throughout the entire thing. They will be your shadow and it's a good idea to get to know them so that you have one less stress on your day. (A good photographer will be a helpful and calming element on your wedding day.) So are you comfortable with this person? Do you even like this person? If you get bad vibes during the engagement session, you can act on it before the big da ...

Philadelphia Engagement Photographer | Kelly Drive |Katie + Franc
Katie and Franc met at a little place called Tattooed Mom’s.  The story goes that Franc’s brother was chatting up a few ladies and Franc swept in for the tallest, Katie.  They talked about growing up not far from each other in New Jersey.  That was about 10.5 years ago. You know where this is going.   We met up just a couple short weeks before their wedding (which was this past weekend at the Atrium at the Curtis Center) for an engagement session at a little place I like along Kelly Drive.  The weather was gorgeous and the ambience was, um, eclectic. About two weeks into dating, Katie realized Franc was “worth further ...
