Best of 2016 – Engagements!
Aside from capturing weddings, our next favorite thing to shoot are engagements! Whether the actual proposal when it happens or the engagement session before the wedding, we love it all! Engagement sessions are the perfect time to truly get to know one another! We have time to get to know you as a couple – what you like to do together, how you met and got engaged, your quirks, and how comfortable you are in front of the camera. At this same time, you also get to know us, and form more of a trust and friendship, so that when we show up on your wedding day, we’re more like friends than random vendors. This years engagements took us from South Jersey to North Jersey to the Jersey Shore to Hoboken and over to Philadelphia and Villanova! We love traveling these distances to get the chance to form a lifelong friendship and bond with each of our couples!
Kensi + Peter :: Villanova University – Villanova, PA
Kensi and Peter met through mutual friends while attending Villanova together during their Sophomore Year. So, there was no better choice than to capture their engagement session at the location that they met!
Sari + Franklin :: Grounds for Sculpture – Hamilton, NJ
Sari and Franklin are such a fun, loving couple. They met one another while working together – and really set their friendship on fire! They appreciate beautiful art, so the Grounds for Sculpture was a fun choice for their engagement session!
Kristin + Jim :: Hoboken, NJ
Kristin and Jim met and spent the beginning part of dating while in Hoboken. So, why not go back to where it all began to capture their engagement photos?! We had a perfect evening with lots of laughter and a beautiful sky!
Alison + Jim :: Brigantine, NJ
Alison and Jim may have met one another through mutual friends while hanging out one evening… but their engagement took place in one of their favorite locations – Brigantine! After a day of “almosts” Jim finally proposed while they were watching TV together at Alison’s family’s house. It was perfect.
Jessica + Eric :: Ocean City, NJ
Jessica and Eric grew a long lasting friendship while working together, and didn’t actually start dating until about 6 years after they met. Eric proposed to Jessica in front of the Christmas Light Show while in Hershey, PA for Christmas last year! Since they will be getting married in Mexico later this year, they thought a beach theme would be ideal for their engagement photos!
Rocco + Kait :: Wildwood, NJ
These two! My goodness! Instead of talking about their epic New York City proposal… you can see all the images HERE! Since Kaits family has a house in Wildwood, and they spend a lot of time down there throughout the summer, they figured that would be a place that would mean the most to them to have their engagement photos taken!
Jackie + Tom :: Philadelphia, PA
Jackie and Tom are one of the many couples that were lucky enough to meet one another online! They loved the idea of wedding photos in the city, but since they were getting married at the beach, that wasn’t exactly practical. So, we decided to capture their engagement in Philadelphia instead!
Caitlin + Andrew :: Rutgers University – New Brunswick, NJ
Caitlin and Andrew met while attending Rutgers University at the Nicholas Residence Hall. So, for their engagement, we started where it all began! We then headed over to Passion Puddle and ended our time together at Old Queens Gate! We were able to get the full Rutgers experience!
Christina + Colin :: Hereford Lighthouse – Wildwood, NJ
Christina and Colin met “the old fashioned” way – In a bar in the east village in New York City. They both have a love for the beach, so they chose the Hereford Lighthouse and the surrounding area for their engagement photos!
Shannon + John :: Old City – Philadelphia, PA
Shannon and John were set up by one of Shannons friends… who also happens to be Johns cousin! As they say, the rest is history! John proposed to her in their Old City Philadelphia apartment after a night of dinner and dancing. They chose to walk out their front door and use the Philadelphia waterfront and surrounding area for their session… the same area they walk their dog together and enjoy daily!
Michelle + Chris :: Franklin Square Park – Philadelphia, PA
Michelle and Chris have a fun, long love story where they actually met one another 16 years ago, and years later, reconnected and here we are – they are getting married in just over 4 months! Since Chris proposed on Christmas Eve last year, they wanted a festive engagement session. They chose the most adorable location – Franklin Square Park!
Kasey + Bill :: Historic Smithville – Galloway, NJ
Kasey and Bill met while working with one another, and their friendship grew over the years to so much more. They will be getting married in only a few weeks! But first, we captured their engagement session in a spot that they love, during a season they love! Smithville at Christmas!
