Maya + Pierre’s Engagement Party || Philadelphia Museum of Art

Both of us are so very grateful to have been a part of Maya + Pierre’s engagement celebration back in November. A few hours before the party began, we joined this lovely couple for a portrait session in & around the Philadelphia Museum of Art (we were even granted access into a recently installed exhibit within the Philadelphia Museum of Art– a Hindu Temple). Wherever we went, whatever we did, one thing was for certain: Maya + Pierre needed no prompting when it came to making each other laugh. In fact, their inter-relational goofiness added just the right touch to our session, making our jobs that much easier.

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again… the rest of the night was one big party. The cocktail hour itself was fantastical- by and far, our favorite dish to eat that evening (in the rare moments we weren’t shooting, of course) was the kobe beef sliders. Coupled with a few heart-warming speeches, champagne toasts, and an even more amazing dinner selection, the night was finally topped off with lots and lots of dancing. Congratulations once again to Maya & Pierre, and we look forward to your wedding day in May!

Maya + Pierre’s Engagement Party Teasers || Philadelphia, PA

When Maya & Pierre contacted us to photograph their engagement party, we were ecstatic to learn it would take place at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Little did we know, not only did they reserve the whole museum (grand staircase and all), but they weren’t kidding when they told us it would be a “party”. Below are some of our favorite images from yesterday’s big celebration. Stay tuned for more images to come!

Paul + Jen Engagement

We ventured all the way down to Philly for Paul and Jen’s engagement session. Although this session took place in early January, the weather was only slightly chilly and overcast. Thankfully, both Paul and Jen braved the cold throughout the morning.

Our morning started at Fairmount Park with a gorgeous view of the Philadelphia skyline across the river. As usual, below are some of our favorite photos from that morning. Paul and Jen took us through Fairmount Park, the gardens & gazebos behind the Art museum, LOVE park, and the Eastern State Penitentiary. Also, we found these awesome, giant-sized Monopoly, Parcheesi, Chess and Domino pieces at Thomas Paine Plaza (directly across the street from City Hall).

We hope everyone enjoys this set!

Paul + Jen’s Engagement Teaser

Here’s one of our favorite images from Paul and Jen’s engagement session in Philadelphia. For this teaser photo, we booked a permit at a really cool place– a prison. But not just any prison, this was taken at the Eastern State Penitentiary.

Stay tuned for more photos to come.
