Longwood Gardens Engagement | Denise & Ed

I met up with Denise & Ed at Longwood Gardens recently to shoot their Engagement Session.  Longwood is one of my favorite garden locations for portraits.  Such an exquisitely gorgeous place.  Denise seemed a bit camera shy when we first started but soon enough she was doing a fabulous job of ignoring me.  Don’t be quick to judge!  She was really ignoring the camera, not really ME and hey, I told her to.  :)   Mother Nature provided us with amazing weather, not too cool and not too hot, the temperature was just warm enough to be perfect.  We really enjoyed ourselves.  Check out a few of my favorites.

Denise & Ed – thanks for such a fun time!  I can’t wait for your wedding next month.  :)

Tessie & Tom | Lancaster Engagement

I met up with Tessie & Tom in Lancaster, PA for their engagement session and we had such fun!  Tessie is a photographer from the Lancaster area and she has shot with me many times in the past few years.  We have always worked well together so I knew it would be fun to have her and Tom in front of my camera.  She continuously warned me that Tom makes funny faces in photos, but I assured her that he only does that in front of her camera.  haha!  Check out some of their engagement photos…

Lauren & Adam | Longwood Gardens Engagement

One of the prettiest places in the area to have photos taken is definitely Longwood Gardens.

Lauren and Adam are such a laid back couple.  When I first met Lauren at our consultation meeting, I was so stoked at her enthusiasm for creativity and art.  So I was most definitely excited when they decided to book me for their wedding!  Their engagement session proved to be all I imagined working with them could be – totally laid back and FUN!  They were completely down with every idea I had.  We decided on Longwood Gardens for the setting and it was a lovely day to shoot so we had a great time.  Check out some of my favs from their session.

Swoon.  Love this photo.

This treehouse proved very useful.

Mother Nature was so in tune with us that day…check out that beautiful blue sky!

Awww….such an adorable couple!!

Easily my fav.  Oh yeah.

I truly adore tender moments like these.  Sigh.

These two are totally bad ass.  Peep the shades people.  B-A-D  A-S-SLOL

So in love with Adam’s rockin shades.

Lauren & Adam had their fabulous Mendenhall Inn wedding just this past weekend and I just cannot wait to share their wedding photos real soon.  So stay tuned!
