Courtney and Paul - Engagement Session

Last weekend I met up with Courtney and Paul for their engagement session.  Courtney helps with the student life on George school, so we used the school grounds as our location.  The early April weather barely could have been better.  They also brought along their two dogs.  Ben and Roxy.  I love dogs, and these two were so much fun and friendly.  They wanted to be with Courtney and Paul the whole time (as you'll see from the pictures :) ) We walked around for a bit, talked for a bit, and took some pictures.  Just the way I like to photograph engagement sessions.

Here's their preview.

Heather and Shaun - Engagement Session

Continuing with engagement session.  I met up with Heather and Shaun for their engagement session at Green Lane Park.  They brought their son with them, and he was adorable and cooperated so well! Heather and Shaun are planning for a very small, but intimate wedding at the end of this month and it sounds like it is shaping up to be a very special night for everyone attending.

Here are a few shots from our time at the park.

Crista and Tom - Engagement Session

Last Sunday, I met up with Crista and Tom.  Their engagement session took place at Lackawanna Park in Hoboken.  Very much like the day before,  these two were also a ton of laughs and smiles.  I'm thinking it may actually be a hard wedding to photograph - they  smile too much ;) (kidding, of course).  We met at this park because this is where they met (during a Relay for life event).  And with New York City as a backdrop for a few other pictures, this was a great place.  The sun even came out about half way through and allowed us for even better pictures. Their wedding will actually be a lot of fun.  Having a few mutual friends with Tom will bring a party crowd, and Crista is designer of really fantastic favors and other elements for weddings and events - check out her work - http://www.creationsbycristamarie.com/

Here's their preview from the Hoboken Engagement session.

Kristi and Keith - Center City Philadelphia Engagement

It's Engagement session season!!!  I personally love this time - almost more than wedding season.  This is the time that I get to actually know my couples.  I get to hang out with them, talk, maybe sit down for a drink occasionally and oh yeah... take some pictures.  Whether it's walking between different areas, driving in the car to go to a different location, or just wasting time waiting for ideas to come into my head, this is when I get to hear stories about first dates, awkward moments in the dating history, proposals and anything else that might come up. Kristi and Keith were no different!  We had a blast walking around the Art Museum and Center City Philadelphia.  These two are just naturally happy and so easy to talk to and really easy to work with taking their pictures.  I won't go into any embarrassing stories that I heard that day - I'll leave that for Kristi to maybe leave in the comments ;)

Here's a few from their session.

Cammy and Luke - Ocean City Wedding

Heading down the AC expressway again, took me to Ocean City for Cammy and Luke's wedding.  Their engagement session a few months back at Valley Forge National park was very easy going.  It's a great way to get to know everyone before the wedding and get more comfortable and relaxed too.

The weather was spectacular the day of the wedding.  Bright blue skies and lots and lots of guests to share in the memories.  The whole day took place at The Flanders Hotel, right on the boardwalk.  They did a wonderful job with the room and ceremony, and the food was delicious too!  After a short ceremony, we did some family pictures and then took the whole bridal party to the boardwalk and beach for some fun portraits.

As the reception kicked off, Sid Miller and his crew (one of my favorite Philadelphia area bands) kept the crowd dancing the whole night - phenomenal job!  Thanks also to my friend Ashley Bartoletti, for coming along and getting some spectacular images too!

Thanks Cammy and Luke, it was a blast!
