Engagement

Lily’s family has been coming to Ocean City for over 100 years. Justin had been on seven family vacations with her and proposed on Lily’s 25th birthday on the beach at sunrise. So it was only natural they take their engagement photos in OCNJ, exactly a year later at sunrise!

For their engagement session, Lorraine and Dillon wanted to choose a place that was meaningful to them as a couple–which I always recommend. They spend a lot of time on the Haverford campus, walking through the trails and watching the ducks in the pond.

From the moment I arrived, Lorraine and Dillon were so gracious. It was a treat to explore campus with them, traipsing through paths they walked regularly and posing in front of their favorite spots around Haverford. The campus reminded me a lot of where I went to school in Oregon–I have to admit I was a bit homesick while shooting this session!

Erika and Brandon met at a mutual friend’s wedding and went on their first official date the following night. How cute is that! For their engagement photos, Erika and Brandon wanted to remember the absolute joy they feel and to commemorate the journey they’ve traveled together as a couple. I can personally confirm, dating and getting engaged during a global pandemic is no easy task!

I was so excited when Angela and Rangan suggested an early morning Old City Philadelphia-themed shoot for their engagement session! There’s something about the way the soft morning light hits the cobblestones and brick that makes me feel like I’m in another time and place.
