Philadelphia is full of beautiful parks. What’s your favorite park for a Photo Session?

Royal Boucherie is a Philadelphia bistro rooted in French cuisine. Located in old city it has a hidden inside garden patio perfect for a micro wedding. 💗

This Race Street Pier Proposal in Philadelphia was such a touching surprise! Getting engaged along the Delaware River with views of the Benjamin Franklin Bridge is a classic location.

This engagement session was in the Manayunk Neighborhood of Philadelphia. This morning Proposal was on the Manayunk Canal and Towpath right along the water and it just couldn’t have been sweeter! They walked down to the trail together, coffees in hand, and next thing you know, he was asking her to be by his side forever 💗
