Carousel Park, Delaware Engagement: Heather & Tom

I love everything about Heather & Tom's wedding plans. Their wedding will be my first December wedding and of course we are all hoping for just a pinch of those big, fluffy snowflakes that make for gorgeous photos- but not too many! I was so excited when Heather told me she wanted a snowy engagement session. We started watching the weather forecast and hoping for snow. It would be predicted... then it didn't snow, and again... and again... until finally one day IT HAPPENED! We met at a gorgeous location that Heather and Tom found, Carousel Park in Wilmington, Delaware. Highlights of their engagement session included a large party of feathered friends that crashed a couple of photos (see below), as well as a soft, dusk sky to end the session. Heather and Tom were willing to do just about anything to get the shot including not wearing jackets for quite some time, holding snow, and handling wildlife (well, almost). I'm so excited to see these two again, on their wedding day!

Downtown Moorestown Engagement: Lindsey and Mark

I met Lindsey about four years ago in grad school. Lindsey is hilarious, fun to be around, and just adventurous in general. Now fast forward to 2012, Lindsey and I were driving to an engagement session at the gorgeous Wissahickon Trail, she was assisting me (yes, she's creative too, talk about the total package) and she was telling me about a wonderful guy she met and how amazing he was- enter Mark. Mark is great. He's sweet, kind, AND adventurous, just like Lindsey. They love to travel, cook, and enjoy life together. They are perfect together, and if you know them, I'm sure you agree!

For Lindsey and Mark's engagement session, we met on Main Street in Moorestown- one of my favorite places. Then we headed to Boundary Creek just before sunset to finish up and I'm SO GLAD we did. We ended up with one of the most gorgeous sunsets I have ever seen! We stayed until the sky was completely black, soaking up each bit of the pink and purple sky. The last shot included in this post is my all-time favorite sunset photo. 

I couldn't be happier to be photographing Lindsey and Mark's wedding at the Glasbern Inn, in July (woohoo a fellow July bride, like me). It's going to be nothing short of amazing.

Smithville Mansion Engagement: Meghan & Kyle

Meghan and Kyle's engagement session at Smithville Mansion took place just about one year prior to their wedding date- in October. What's not to love about October? Perfect temperatures, leaves changing... no doubt about it, I spend every weekend shooting in October, and I love it! We had a gorgeous sunset on this particular evening with such soft light- very romantic. I loved it so much, that I began the blog post in reverse :) 

Meghan and Kyle are so sweet and so adorably in love. Kyle makes Meghan laugh with just a simple look. They danced, laid in the grass, and just enjoyed each other's company.  I cannot wait for their perfect day at the Moorestown Community House in just eight short months!

I'm in love with this shot!

Meghan is such a natural beauty- she's going to be such a stunning bride!

Meghan and her mother found these golden, vintage numbers- I can only imagine what they have in store for the wedding details!

The Merion Wedding, Cinnaminson, NJ: Rob and Laura

As a wedding photographer, you never know how you'll meet your next client. I met Laura's mother when my husband and I closed on our house in August of 2013. I was about to have a baby the next month and life was hectic! (Ps- Never move when you are 30+ weeks pregnant!) Laura's mother was bright, cheery and sharing in the excitement of our new house and soon-to-be new baby! We had plenty of time to talk during closing and she told me her daughter was engaged! Some time went by, and me, Laura and her mother were chatting all about her wedding! It was such a pleasant surprise because Laura and I were such a great match! It's so important to love your wedding photographer because they are going to be next to you so much of the day! Now let's focus on the most important people here- Laura and Rob.

I knew Rob wasn't thrilled about having to commit to being photographed for an hour for an engagement session-honestly, most guys aren't crazy about it... but the results are always the same- they LOVE the photos and they actually had fun! Haha! I love it! We even got to incorporate Rob's killer car for their engagement session AND their wedding day! 

When their wedding day rolled around in late October, it was perfect. There was just a little breeze in the air and the sun was shining. When I walked into Laura and Rob's Palace Ballroom that day, I was taken back. Everything they have been planning was all coming together. Gorgeous centerpieces, tables named after wine, framed artwork of loved ones past, the matching uplighting...  you could tell that they truly poured their souls into all of the planning. It also helps that The Merion, in Cinnaminson, NJ does such a beautiful job setting up their gorgeous ballroom. Laura and Rob saw each other for the first time down the aisle, it's always such an exciting moment, and for me it NEVER gets old. My heart is racing and there's so much excitement in the room! After a beautiful ceremony, we headed to the patio to get some photographs of the bridal party and headed back in so they could enjoy their cocktail hour. This gave me plenty of time to photograph all their gorgeous details. The party started and they had quite a dancefloor. We were able to sneak out to get some wedding photos with Rob's car, which made him so happy! I imagine Rob has a framed photo of this shot in his garage (please tell me yes!). 

As I write this blog post, it was Laura's birthday yesterday, Rob's birthday today, and Valentine's Day tomorrow- these two have a lot to celebrate!

Penn's Landing Engagement Session: John & Amanda

John and Amanda live in Philadelphia, are getting married in Philadelphia, so it only seemed fit, to have their engagement session in Philadelphia. I love shooting in Philly (yes, we're on a nickname basis now) because there is so much variety! We only walked a few blocks and I couldn't help but stop every couple of yards because there was something neat to shoot near. We started by Penn's Landing, found a couple of adorable side streets, in which we found an in-ground pool in the smallest little backyard, but no pool-hopping for us. We also visited a little bit of South Street and Society Hill. I cannot wait for John and Amanda's October wedding, so we can shoot in Philly again- but next time, they'll be married!

Check out Mr. Deuce (the pup), this guy is a little sweetheart- he just wanted to play!

Smithville Mansion Engagement: Paul & Katie

In late October, I met up with Paul and Katie for their engagement session at Smithville Mansion in Eastampton, NJ. Now, I've shot at Smithville Mansion MANY times, and I seriously never get tired of it. There is so much variety to work with in such a short distance... but this time was different- maybe that's why so many clients request it! Paul and Katie are the adventurous-type, who love to go hiking and exploring and they showed me areas of Smithville I didn't know existed... and in which time, Katie did so in heels. She's my hero! Paul and Katie brought along a special member of their family for some fun, their awesome dog Chesney! Such a cutie and so cooperative ;) I'm so excited for their wedding in August! 

Enjoy this image... then imagine me behind the camera saying, "Chesney, are you hungry? Do you want to eat dinner? Do you want a treat?" 

Katie LOVES sunflowers. She was kind enough to share some with me after their session. This girl is the sweetest!

Curious hikers had to stop and see the bling. I completely understand, ladies.
