Before I fell in love with photographing your love, I worked as a graphic designer at an architecture firm. I spent my days learning about how buildings, interior spaces, colors, and lighting evoke different emotions.
When I became a full-time wedding photographer, I took these skills with me. My editorial approach incorporates the beauty of the scene around you into the shot, enhancing the romance of your story.
Rachel and Sean’s Philadelphia engagement photos in Old City were a perfect reflection of their story. Since their first date was at Giuseppe & Sons, we wanted to keep their session close to where it all began.
We started behind the 18th Century Garden before making our way to the Second Bank of the United States for classic Philadelphia portraits. Old City provided the perfect backdrop with its historic architecture, quiet streets, and timeless details.
From there, we headed to Canopy by Hilton Philadelphia Center City for a change of pace. Espresso martinis in hand, we created a more editorial set of portraits inspired by classic nightlife photography. The mix of historic locations and modern details made the session feel personal while still reflecting the elevated, fashion-forward style Rachel and Sean envisioned.
I love when engagement sessions feel connected to each couple. Choosing locations that hold meaning creates space for images that feel natural, intentional, and true to your relationship.
As a Philadelphia editorial wedding photographer, my approach blends guided direction with genuine moments. Whether it’s a meaningful neighborhood, a favorite restaurant, or a place where your story began, I believe the best Philadelphia engagement photos come from choosing locations that feel personal.
