Alexis + John!

Alexis + John!

Alexis was pretty convinced that John wouldn’t be able to surprise her with a proposal… Well, on March 2nd, 2014, it was like any normal day, Alexis had to go to work… and in her words: “When I got out of work, I decided to go for a run in the city (I am training for the Broadstreet).. long story short, I fell, skinned my knees, it started to rain, I was miserable…  I drove home, only wanting to shower and go to bed.  When I got to the house, the entire house was quiet… which is not typical.. I was walking through the house wondering where the heck both John and our alaskan malamute was… when I walked into the bedroom, I found John on his knee holding the ring with our dog sitting beside him.. It was then that he said, “Mal (our dog) and I want to ask you a question”.  To be honest shock took over and I did not hear anything else he said other then let me see if it fits.. and that is when the tears started.”  Seriously?!  So darn cute!!  Cant wait to capture their wedding next year on one of my favorite days of the year… Valentine’s Day!! <3

Concetta + Shamus!

Concetta + Shamus!

These two lovebirds met with a little help from her cousin – and the rest is history!  These two are total dog lovers (my kind of people!) so Shamus knew the way to Concetta’s heart… Their dogs!  Shamus had dog tags made with their names on one side and “Will You Marry Me?” on the other!  How stinkin’ cute?! There’s no way Concetta could have said no to that!!  Since these two love to run, and have run along Boathouse Row before, they thought that would be the perfect area for their engagement session!  I hope you enjoy the photos!! xoConcetta-Shamus-Boathouse-Row-Waterworks-Philadelphia-Engagement-Photography-0001 Their smiles and the way they look at each other is just so sweet!!Concetta-Shamus-Boathouse-Row-Waterworks-Philadelphia-Engagement-Photography-0004 Concetta-Shamus-Boathouse-Row-Waterworks-Philadelphia-Engagement-Photography-0006 Concetta-Shamus-Boathouse-Row-Waterworks-Philadelphia-Engagement-Photography-0009 <3 Swoon!Concetta-Shamus-Boathouse-Row-Waterworks-Philadelphia-Engagement-Photography-0010 Concetta-Shamus-Boathouse-Row-Waterworks-Philadelphia-Engagement-Photography-0012 Concetta-Shamus-Boathouse-Row-Waterworks-Philadelphia-Engagement-Photography-0014 Concetta-Shamus-Boathouse-Row-Waterworks-Philadelphia-Engagement-Photography-0016 Concetta-Shamus-Boathouse-Row-Waterworks-Philadelphia-Engagement-Photography-0017 Concetta-Shamus-Boathouse-Row-Waterworks-Philadelphia-Engagement-Photography-0018 Its very rare that this running trail is so empty, so of course we took advantage of it!Concetta-Shamus-Boathouse-Row-Waterworks-Philadelphia-Engagement-Photography-0021 Concetta-Shamus-Boathouse-Row-Waterworks-Philadelphia-Engagement-Photography-0022 Concetta-Shamus-Boathouse-Row-Waterworks-Philadelphia-Engagement-Photography-0023 Concetta-Shamus-Boathouse-Row-Waterworks-Philadelphia-Engagement-Photography-0025 Beautiful!Concetta-Shamus-Boathouse-Row-Waterworks-Philadelphia-Engagement-Photography-0026

Nicole + Eric!

Nicole + Eric!

First you must hear their engagement story, because swoon!  Its so cute!  Nicole and Eric were running a 5K race this past Thanksgiving morning with Eric’s family.  Eric is faster than Nicole, so he finished first.  As Nicole was coming up to the finish line, Eric was standing in the middle cheering her on and his dad and sisters boyfriend were holding the Finish Line sign.  When Nicole got close enough, they flipped the sign over and it said “Nicole, will you marry me?” and Eric was down on his knee proposing!!  Of course Nicole said YES!

These two together are so much fun with so much love and laughter between them!  We had a great time capturing them behind the art museum, at city hall, love park and market street!  Enjoy the sneak peek!

There were two random chairs, so we used them!! :)

<3

Too cute!

Nicole + Eric, we had an awesome time getting to know you both more and can not wait for your wedding next year!!  It is going to be so much fun! :)

Danielle + Ron!

Danielle + Ron!

Ron and Danielle went to Jamaica last summer for Danielle’s birthday… While enjoying a candlelit birthday dinner on the beach, Ron proposed!  Danielle told me that it was the most romantic moment of her life! <3

I received a call last week from Danielle that Ron would be in town this weekend (He is in the Navy and stationed in Virginia Beach) and they wanted to do their engagement session at the Philadelphia Art Museum!  So, even with the threat of rain, we decided to chance it and it turned into a 20 minute power session before the rain really started to pour down on us!  We had an awesome time with them and can’t wait for their wedding at Windows on Water this November! :)  Enjoy the sneak peek!

Love love love!!!

The ring was gorgeous!

Oh, Danielle, you are beautiful!!

Couldn’t leave without pictures in front of the Rocky statue!

You can’t tell its raining, right?! :)  Love the pink flowers on the trees!!
