Stacy + Mike: An Engagement Session along Boathouse Row

Engagement

Meet Stacy and Mike. Stacy and Mike look like they belong in an ad or the cover of a college pamphlet. They are such a good looking couple with fantastic smiles.

(See what I mean?)

We met at the Philadelphia Art Museum to go over some details before heading out for their engagement shoot on possibly the last absolutely beautiful day of 2009. The temperature was just right, it wasn’t too crowded, and the sun was shining on the Schuchyll River and Philly’s famous Boathouse Row.


Stacy had chosen Kelly Drive because she just loves the doors along Boathouse Row and she and Mike shared one of their first dates there.







Mike didn’t quite know we were taking pictures that day but he was dressed perfectly for them. He is known for his sneakers. So much so that Stacy once threw him a party that had a dress code of formal attire paired with sneakers. How fun is that?



After four years of their fateful meeting, they will be getting married this spring at Stotesbury Mansion in Philly and I can’t wait!


To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.

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 Engagement Photographer | 30th Street Station | Jenny + Casey
You are just going to flip over these pictures from Jenny and Casey’s engagement session at 30th Street Station the other week. The lighting was incredible, they were absolutely adorable and affectionate, and we got ourselves into some great situations. This session was fantastic because it really shows how the location can tie into a couple’s past and make pictures that are that much more special. For a little bit of background, Jenny and Casey met… out… somewhere in Boston. He was hitting on her while she was with some co-workers and Jenny, being the firecracker that she is, made him work for her attention by grilling him on what he did ...

Philadelphia Engagement Photographer | Philadelphia Museum of Art | Emily + Leonardo
It is my great pleasure to introduce Nelly (and her pets, Emily and Leonardo)! These three drove down from Massachusetts the other week for their engagement session around Philly’s beautiful Art Museum.A few things about these three: Emily is sweet as pie, Leonardo is quite the charmer, and Nelly is big on squirrels. Emily and Leonardo met online and shared their first date at a wine bar that Emily’s friends crashed, sitting a few booths down facing Leonardo. He was apparently unfazed as he managed to set up more dates with Emily, stretching a chalkboard project from a trip to a sketchy flea market into several dates together and trips to ...
