She met him at a summer camp and immediately knew this was no summer fling. Sure there were counselors all over but there was something special about Christian. Lisa wrote in her journal that he was it. He was the man she was to marry.
When you spend time with them, you realize quickly there was never any doubt. They are in sync and in love…and I’m head-to-toe honored I will be shooting their impending nuptials. They are a perfect mix of selflessness, kindness and class. In short, I adore them! Here are some of my favorites during a recent trip to Philadelphia for their engagement shoot…
We did the first location at the main transportation station since they have been a long distance couple. I love the grandeur of the pillars in the above photo. Below – some fun with light…in one of the train hubs. Special shout out to the workers there who were closing the stairway but let us linger to shoot!
We then headed to South Street’s Magic Gardens for the next location, and it was perfect! Beautiful mosaics were the backdrop to this gorgeous couple. This was Lisa’s pick for the shoot and it could not have made my heart any warmer. There were endless possibilities…
Finally…when in Philly, do what is expected… Eat cheesesteaks! I had never tasted an original Philly cheesesteak so when Christian offered to walk down to one of the famous steak places…you know I was on it! It was as delicious as I imagined in my head all of these years…
Lisa and Christian – Thank you from the whole of my heart. You two are spectacular! Much love to you both and will see you next year!
