Philadelphia Engagement Photographer | University of Pennsylvania | Amanda + Nick

Engagement

Amanda and Nick met at Albright College about 10 years ago. He was her orientation leader. Turns out their first date was at a birthday party for one of Nick’s fraternity brothers. Things apparently went well because they’ve got a wedding coming up this May at the Trump National Golf Club in Pine Hill, New Jersey.

They’ve pretty much lived all over together. He went to graduate school at the University of Pennsylvania and then they took off to Germany together for a few years and then landed in San Diego where they are now. They try to be outdoors together as much as possible, hiking and vitising the beach since they live right by it. We met (for the first time) at Penn’s campus for their engagement session a few weeks ago and had such a good time despite the cold.

They’ve got their own flavor of goofiness together and I absolutely love it!

Nick took Amanda to their favorite Italian restaurant up in California and then retired to a cabin together for the evening. It had to be stressful – he got the cork stuck in the wine bottle and Amanda took “forever” to respond to him (though it was probably closer to a minute) before she blurted out if he had already asked her parents’ permission. Needless to say, she responded yes and I do believe they eventually got into that wine.

They had to rock their home teams. Nick’s from Cherry Hill so naturally he was representing the Phillies. Amanda, from Oregon, rocked the Mariners.

Amanda and Nick, can’t wait to see you back on the east coast in just a few short months for the wedding!

Love is like pi – natural, irrational, and very important.

Philadelphia Engagement Photographer | Old City | Alyssa + David
This!  This session shows exactly what love looks like.  Blame it on the very cold winter temps to give you reason to snuggle up extra close.  Since we were walking around Philadelphia’s Old City on a very chilly afternoon, Alyssa and David did just that.  The resultant images just exude happiness, goofiness, and, yes, lots of love. The two met at Johns Hopkins University.  Alyssa was already a student there and David was visiting as a prospective student.  Alyssa’s friend was taking him around and showing off the campus, coming upon Alyssa’s dorm room.  Admittedly, he didn’t make the best first impression – eating her food and playful ...

Philadelphia Proposal Photographer | Magic Gardens | Skyler + Lake
Why do my shoots fall on crazy blizzard days instead of the crazy tropical days that precede them?  Whatever the reason, the chilly weather gets my couples to snuggle a little tighter and laugh with the right amount of shiver in their smiles.  This was the certainly the case last Friday when I got to be sneaky and photograph Lake’s proposal to Skyler at Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens. With the cold weather and having checked off so much already that day, Lake’s mom texted me to move the shoot up.  I was already driving around the area and got myself ready. As planned, Lake and Skyler came down the steps when Lake stopped and pulled ou ...

This time they were the main event at the stadium.We had originally planned the photo session several weeks before but heavy rain forced us to postpone it that day. We lucked out with gr ...
