A Historic Independence Hall Philadelphia Engagement Session | Mackenzie & Armand

A Historic Independence Hall Philadelphia Engagement Session | Mackenzie & Armand

Its Independence Day! So, lets flashback to February when we got to capture Mackenzie and Armand’s engagement right in front of Independence Hall! Mackenzie & Armand love the city of brotherly love, and will be getting married at the Union League of Philadelphia this September, so it was no wonder that this is where they wanted their engagement photos!

Although, both being from New Jersey, Mackenzie and Armand met one another at the University of Rhode Island. There is a pretty cool tradition at URI that your college career as a Rhody Ram both starts and ends on the quad in the center of campus. The very first thing you do as a student is meet your orientation group on the quad and the very last is graduation on the quad. Mackenzie and Armand were visiting campus on what she thought was a regular weekend get away. They decided to visit campus to see what was new since they hadn’t been there in a while. As they were walking back to their car, crossing the quad, Armand proposed! Mackenzie was so surprised!

   Mackenzie and Armand rehearsal dinner will be at Yards Brewing Company!

Kelly + Dan!

Kelly + Dan!

 

After 4 years together, Dan finally proposed to Kelly on December 20th, 2012!  Ever since they met, Kelly has wanted to go on a horse and carriage ride.  Every time they’d seen it in a movie or while in the city, she’d always tell Dan how much she wants to do it!  Well, Dan finally gave in and took Kelly into the city on a Thursday afternoon for their horse and carriage ride around Independence National Park – and as they were crossing over Walnut St… Dan turned to Kelly, got on one knee in the carriage (impressive!) and asked her to marry him!!  Of course she said Yes!!  So what better place to take their engagement photos than where it all happened!!  We absolutely adore these two and cant wait to capture their wedding next February!! Enjoy the sneak peek! xo
