Last weekend, I took a quick trip up to New York for Willeatha and Jason's engagement session. Having proposed to Willeatha on the Brooklyn Bridge, they thought it would make for the perfect backdrop for their engagement session.
It was really fun to hang out with these two before their wedding on July 4th! They are both full of smiles and laughter :)
Adam has been one of my best friends for a long time (One of my weddings back in June was Adam's brother Todd) . When he came to me a few weeks back with an idea, I was a tad bit shocked (in a good way), but very happy and excited to be part of it. Laura is due to have their first baby (girl) in November. We had talked months ago about doing a really nice maternity session, so it was just about waiting for the right time. - By the way ladies, the 7 month mark is a great time for maternity session!
Adam came to me about a month before the shoot and asked what I thought about turning the maternity session into a proposal at the latter half of the photo shoot. Of course I thought it was a cool idea! "YEAH, LET'S DO IT!!!!" are the words I think I used. ;)
The day of the session, Adam stopped by my place for a few minutes before hand and trusted me with the gorgeous engagement ring he picked out. It stayed in my camera bag until we were ready for the next part of the shoot. We all met up at Tyler State Park in Newtown, PA about an hour and a half before sunset (great golden light!!) Armed with my new 24mm f/1.4 Canon Lens and my trusty 70-200 f/2.8 IS, I was able to not only stand far enough away for some quiet time, but also get close enough to really capture the emotion between these two.
Here's a sample - there's a lot!
(She said yes ;) )
Look at that gorgeous light!
Congrats you two!! The wedding is gonna be a blast, and can't wait to meet the little one soon!
I met up with Melanie and Tom this past week at Neshaminy state Park. Their wedding is coming up soon at the end of October. There are a lot of details that I am looking forward to for this wedding. Pen Ryn Mansion is going to be a lot of fun to shoot at. Melanie is having a custom dress designed by the talented Darcy Law. And from what Mel and Tom tell me, this is gonna be a fun group!
The engagement session was a lot of fun, they even brought their daschund, Cole (named after Melanies favorite Philadelphia Philly - take a wild guess). I'll admit, he may have stole the show a couple of time ;).
Here's a preview of the engagement session.
Well, it is always a tough and exhausting thing to do, but we've done it. I have relocated from Warrington to the beautiful Holland, PA area. Having grown up in this area, it feels much more like home, and it's great to live around friends within walking distance!
There is still some little decorating to do and things to hang, but everything is in!
Well, here it is! you may notice a new name and logo - same great pictures though!
"Your Timeless Photos" has served me very well, but it was time to transition to something that spoke a little bit more "Me".
There are a bunch of new posts coming down the line - and a new website should be launching soon! - till then the original site is still up and running.
