No matter how many Philadelphia engagement sessions I photograph, I never get bored. Each couple has their own story and each session has it’s own set of challenges and opportunities. When Melody and Jordan discussed with me their thoughts of having their engagement session in a book store or coffee house, my heart soared! Literally my two all time favorite pastimes are reading and drinking coffee. Luckily, if you find a good bookstore in Philly, chances are there’s a coffee shop a stones throw away.
We started their session at House of Our Own Books on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania. If you are searching for a unique book store, go here! It’s an old Victorian house filled to the brim with books, new and old. We explored 2 floors of twisted hallways and towers of novels, all the while having the loveliest chat with the owners.
We strolled through campus and stopped for some coffee and tea before finishing our session in the most glowy light. Everything aligned perfectly, from the mild temperatures to the empty campus (Hello spring break!) to Melody and Jordan being serenaded by a marching band.
Melody and Jordan are getting married this coming Saturday. Their love for travel, people, and of course, each other, ties them together and I cannot wait to celebrate with them!
