Philadelphia Engagement Photographer | Philadelphia Museum of Art | Erin + Scott

Engagement

It was just last month that Erin and Scott celebrated their 5 year anniversary of that fateful night in March when they met at a bar for a birthday party. They chatted and had arranged a date by the next week.

I entered the picture a few months ago when they contacted me about photographing their wedding coming up this June at Castle Yacht Club in New Jersey. I was excited to meet them in person for their engagement session around the Philly Art Museum just the other week. Spring was in full bloom and I was psyched to make use of it. We had perfect puffy clouds, lots of light, color everywhere, and a touch of wind for good measure.

We made our way around Waterworks and up to the front of the museum.

I love this series of images we got on the steps there.

They had talked about rings a few weeks before Christmas and Erin was hopeful. They opened presents early Christmas morning and there was no bling to be found. She was a little disappointed. They were getting ready to clean up and get ready for the rest of the day when Erin asked about her phone. Scott told her it was by the door and when she turned around, she found him decked out in a suit, flowers in hand, and on one knee with a gorgeous ring. It was perfect.

They’re big sports fans so it was important to pay homage to the Phillies for the engagement pictures so they donned some red shirts (don’t you just looooove Erin’s VS striped T?) and we played in the greenery of the azalea garden.

The wedding is just around the corner! Can’t wait to see you two so soon! P.S. Erin’s hair is naturally super curly. I’m incredibly impressed with how awesome it looked for the shoot and even more excited to see it in ringlets for the wedding.

What was originally going to be a Trash the Dress session evolved into a fallsy love session a little over a year after Julie and Chuck’s wedding. The thing is, you just can’t expect these two to want something ordinary. After all, we had already done beach, boardwalk, kites, water, and carousels for their engagement session and then the gorgeous Bear Creek Mountain Ski Resort for their wedding. In that vein, if you’re going to do fall, you do it all the way.We met up at Linvilla Orchards in Media, PA for autumn colors, apples, pumpkins, farm animals, and as much trouble as we could find.Julie realllly likes goats. Chuck likes Julie. The ...

Philadelphia Engagement Photographer | Old City | Kate + Dakota
I’m guessing Dakota won’t appreciate this but… Kate and Dakota’s cuteness is out of control!  They are so flipping adorable together.  I was warned that Dakota isn't great in front of the camera but I think Kate was just trying to keep my expectations super low so that they could blow them out of the water.  Total naturals, these two! The two dated in eighth grade and he broke her heart (he wanted to hang out with his guys instead of having a girlfriend). This is a woman who knows what she wants.  Kate continued to pursue him in high school.  She hung around with him and his friends until he asked her out again.  Their first dat ...
