Sarah and Virgil’s Longwood Gardens Engagement Session | Kennett Square Engagement

Spring at Longwood Gardens is magical. By the time spring rolls around, we are all craving any sign of warmer weather, and Longwood Gardens knows how to deliver. Sarah and Virgil are the dream couple to work with! Not only were they beyond excited about their photos, they were open to ideas, spoke up when they saw a spot that was interesting, and brought along an entourage to keep them looking flawless. Oh and I mean they’re also incredibly kind and so so madly in love. And fun. And cute! I could go on but just trust me.

I’ve photographed engagement sessions at Longwood Gardens plenty before, but it’s never been as deliciously empty as it was for this shoot. Maybe it’s because it was a Friday or maybe due to the rain, but we had the place to ourselves. Dancing in the conservatory, running through the hallways- not a soul to judge! Sarah and Virgil chose to wear traditional Korean Hanboks and now I’m convinced they are the most comfortably elegant clothing option that exists.

I could go on and on about this session and how much I love it, but why don’t I just show you? Enjoy!

Phoenixville Brewery Engagement Session | Carli + Jack | Philadelphia Engagement Photography

couple engagement session at roots down brewing company in Phoenixville PA

An ice cold beer, beautiful sunlight, and the most beautiful summer evening helped make Carli and Jack’s engagement session one of my favorites.  we started our evening at Roots Down Brewing Company in Phoenixville, PA, before hopping over to Valley Forge park to catch the sunset.  Roots Down let us roam free in the brewery, which happens to be an atmosphere I’ve never shot in before.  Carli and Jack toasted to their love, which is just about the cutest thing ever.  Jack always knows how to make Carli truly smile, and Carli always knows exactly how I want her to pose with Jack- except it’s not a pose for them- it’s natural.

After the brews were downed, we found ourselves strolling through sun kissed fields at Valley Forge Park.  A quick stop at my favorite abandoned green house and “hobbit door”, and it was a wrap.  I am so excited for this wedding next year!  It seems like a lifetime away, but I know it’ll be here before we know it.
