Sara + Rob: Engagement Session in New Jersey

Engagement

It’s okay, you can say it… Holy s#!t, those colors are incredible! Yep, late October will get you the most amazing colors around here. (Sorry, California, the Northeast totally has you beat when it comes to the fall.)

Sara, Rob, Boz and I met up for this awesome engagement session at Smithville Park in Eastamption, New Jersey, one of my new favorite places to photograph. It was a bit muggy but everything else was pretty much perfect. The overcast skies gave off great diffused light that made the colors pop. And the grounds have a river, an old mansion, trails, barns, bricks, crawling ivy, peeling paint, crumbling buildings… just to die for.

Allow me to introduce Sara and Rob who have been together for 4 years. They met through a friend, he had heat stroke, they dated, they moved to New Jersey, got a dog, got engaged at Time in Philly, considered a big wedding for all of a few seconds, and will be getting married in a tiny wedding at Philadelphia City Hall in just a few weeks.




I should also introduce Boz, a 2(ish) year old Boston Terrier who loves cuddling and grazing but isn’t so keen on taking direction. Yeah, sounds like a terrier.




Seriously, this place was amazing! Great find, you two!





Yes, a field too. There’s a little Boz in there somewhere.


Awesome old brick walls, check!


I am so psyched for their upcoming wedding. Sara & Rob, I’ll see you two again very soon!

Philadelphia Engagement Photographer | Eastern State Penitentiary & Art Museum | Janene + Greg
I know of at least two people who are absolutely dying to see these images. And with good reason. This extended engagement session was a blast, a riot, a fantastically incredible good time and the pictures are delicious. Janene and Greg are rockstars. They met online (ladies take note: she winked at him) and they arranged a date. I love this part of their story and I so hope they don’t mind me telling it… They were meeting up at a restaurant and she desperately had to go to the bathroom. She texted him to scope out where it was. As soon as she showed up, he pointed her in the right direction but a little girl swooped in and got to ...

You can't expect these homebodies to stray too far from home.  (It's enough that Mike got Ann to move out of the city and into "the country".)  So of course we did their engagement session on their home turf: Conshohocken.  Stay tuned for ice cream, great heels, and a highly distractable husky.

Becca and Mike are something else. Becca and I had a long phone consultation and then I got to meet both of them in person.

We lucked out with some of the most golden light, great temperatures, and amazing colors of the year.Becca and Mike met at a friend’s party four years ago. Mike recalls that Becca Facebook stalked him and messaged him before they went out on their first real date together.A few months into dating Becca was invited to a friend’s wedding in Belize.
