Kirby's Mill, Medford, NJ Engagement: Taro + Kim

Kim and Taro met like so many other couples, online dating. The unique twist in their story is Kim had signed up that night, and Taro was the first person to message her. It was love ever since- if that’s not fate, I don’t know what is! When I met Kim and Taro via FaceTime almost a year ago, I was so excited to have the opportunity to work with them both. Kim is super sweet and bubbly, and Taro is always smiling (which makes for the cutest combination). We’ve stayed connected on Facebook and Instagram, so when we finally met in person, it felt like catching up with old friends. The day of their engagement session it was drizzling all day long, and I was unnerved at the thought of having to reschedule since it wouldn’t be easy with Kim and Taro living out of town. Luckily, it cleared up shortly before and we were able to get some great photographs at Kirby’s Mill in Medford, NJ. Did I mention there was a special guest at their session? The latest addition to their family, Chairlie. He is such a sweet, excited, and super obedient pup- the combination of a perfect gentleman. My favorite moment had to be when he started biting and chasing his leash while Kim and Taro were romantically strolling along- you’ll see below! I’m so happy to be a part of their big day next October at Blue Heron Pines Golf Club!

Kirby's Mill is known for the gorgeous red barn, so we had to take full advantage of that!

This is my favorite shot of Charlie- check out his eyes!

...and this showcases Charlie the super obedient pup. He's amazing.

How adorable are Kim and Taro together!?

Taro was in charge of throwing leaves with his left hand... seconds later a huge, clumpy pile of leaves fell on their heads, making for a hilarious moment.

Carousel Park, Delaware Engagement: Heather & Tom

I love everything about Heather & Tom's wedding plans. Their wedding will be my first December wedding and of course we are all hoping for just a pinch of those big, fluffy snowflakes that make for gorgeous photos- but not too many! I was so excited when Heather told me she wanted a snowy engagement session. We started watching the weather forecast and hoping for snow. It would be predicted... then it didn't snow, and again... and again... until finally one day IT HAPPENED! We met at a gorgeous location that Heather and Tom found, Carousel Park in Wilmington, Delaware. Highlights of their engagement session included a large party of feathered friends that crashed a couple of photos (see below), as well as a soft, dusk sky to end the session. Heather and Tom were willing to do just about anything to get the shot including not wearing jackets for quite some time, holding snow, and handling wildlife (well, almost). I'm so excited to see these two again, on their wedding day!

Downtown Moorestown Engagement: Lindsey and Mark

I met Lindsey about four years ago in grad school. Lindsey is hilarious, fun to be around, and just adventurous in general. Now fast forward to 2012, Lindsey and I were driving to an engagement session at the gorgeous Wissahickon Trail, she was assisting me (yes, she's creative too, talk about the total package) and she was telling me about a wonderful guy she met and how amazing he was- enter Mark. Mark is great. He's sweet, kind, AND adventurous, just like Lindsey. They love to travel, cook, and enjoy life together. They are perfect together, and if you know them, I'm sure you agree!

For Lindsey and Mark's engagement session, we met on Main Street in Moorestown- one of my favorite places. Then we headed to Boundary Creek just before sunset to finish up and I'm SO GLAD we did. We ended up with one of the most gorgeous sunsets I have ever seen! We stayed until the sky was completely black, soaking up each bit of the pink and purple sky. The last shot included in this post is my all-time favorite sunset photo. 

I couldn't be happier to be photographing Lindsey and Mark's wedding at the Glasbern Inn, in July (woohoo a fellow July bride, like me). It's going to be nothing short of amazing.

Smithville Mansion Engagement: Meghan & Kyle

Meghan and Kyle's engagement session at Smithville Mansion took place just about one year prior to their wedding date- in October. What's not to love about October? Perfect temperatures, leaves changing... no doubt about it, I spend every weekend shooting in October, and I love it! We had a gorgeous sunset on this particular evening with such soft light- very romantic. I loved it so much, that I began the blog post in reverse :) 

Meghan and Kyle are so sweet and so adorably in love. Kyle makes Meghan laugh with just a simple look. They danced, laid in the grass, and just enjoyed each other's company.  I cannot wait for their perfect day at the Moorestown Community House in just eight short months!

I'm in love with this shot!

Meghan is such a natural beauty- she's going to be such a stunning bride!

Meghan and her mother found these golden, vintage numbers- I can only imagine what they have in store for the wedding details!

Penn's Landing Engagement Session: John & Amanda

John and Amanda live in Philadelphia, are getting married in Philadelphia, so it only seemed fit, to have their engagement session in Philadelphia. I love shooting in Philly (yes, we're on a nickname basis now) because there is so much variety! We only walked a few blocks and I couldn't help but stop every couple of yards because there was something neat to shoot near. We started by Penn's Landing, found a couple of adorable side streets, in which we found an in-ground pool in the smallest little backyard, but no pool-hopping for us. We also visited a little bit of South Street and Society Hill. I cannot wait for John and Amanda's October wedding, so we can shoot in Philly again- but next time, they'll be married!

Check out Mr. Deuce (the pup), this guy is a little sweetheart- he just wanted to play!

Smithville Mansion Engagement: Paul & Katie

In late October, I met up with Paul and Katie for their engagement session at Smithville Mansion in Eastampton, NJ. Now, I've shot at Smithville Mansion MANY times, and I seriously never get tired of it. There is so much variety to work with in such a short distance... but this time was different- maybe that's why so many clients request it! Paul and Katie are the adventurous-type, who love to go hiking and exploring and they showed me areas of Smithville I didn't know existed... and in which time, Katie did so in heels. She's my hero! Paul and Katie brought along a special member of their family for some fun, their awesome dog Chesney! Such a cutie and so cooperative ;) I'm so excited for their wedding in August! 

Enjoy this image... then imagine me behind the camera saying, "Chesney, are you hungry? Do you want to eat dinner? Do you want a treat?" 

Katie LOVES sunflowers. She was kind enough to share some with me after their session. This girl is the sweetest!

Curious hikers had to stop and see the bling. I completely understand, ladies.

Moorestown Engagement: Devin & Nicole

Four days before Christmas I met up with Devin and Nicole for their engagement session. The previous weekend, it was freezing and the roads were covered with ice... but this particular Saturday in December was 70 degrees. It was a welcome surprise. Devin and Nicole are two, fun-loving sports fans and you can't help but smile when you're around them. I found myself smiling as I edited their photographs recounting their jokes and the expressions we captured. We started at Devin's childhood home, then ventured to a field in Moorestown that I've been eying up for quite some time. I can't wait for their November wedding!
