This beautiful Schnecksville engagement session was so much fun with Leana and Casey! When we were brainstorming about their ideal engagement session location, Trexler Nature Preserve was an instant YES! Leana and Casey are both nature lovers and they light up whenever they are enjoying the outdoors together, so this was the perfect spot for their engagement session! We ventured onto the gorgeous trails here and the mountain views were so stunning!

Schnecksville Engagement Session

Leana and Taylor were such a blast to shoot with. They actually booked us to shoot their dreamy Grand Teton National Park wedding this fall, which we were are over the moon about! Side note, if you are wondering if we travel for weddings…WE ABSOLUTELY DO! We love to travel and capturing your love story in a new location is one of our favorite things to do!

Engagement Session Outfit Tips

It’s just a fact- your outfit can really make or break your engagement photos. Leana and Casey’s outfits were so wonderful for this location and made their photos such a dream. I always love to recommend my ladies to wear something flowy, as it creates such gorgeous movement for your photos! For the guys, my biggest tip is to go neutral and complimentary to your fiancé! I loved how Leana and Casey wore this mocha color and it really popped against the background. As always, your engagement session is about YOU, so wear what makes you comfortable! I’m always a text away and love to help plan outfits with you!

One of my favorite things about their engagement session in Schnecksville was how fun loving they are together! They are so much fun to be around and so playful and cute with each other, it made my job a blast. When we were walking around Trexler nature preserve, we witnessed the most amazing sunset and captured the coolest sun flares in their photos! They were also down to get into the thick of the tall grass, so they went frolicking in the field and were genuinely having the best time with each other.

This was such a dreamy day in Longwood Gardens for Frank and Emily’s engagement photos! They are two of the sweetest people and could not stop laughing the entire time, which made my job so much fun! They were a joy to photograph and they were so easy going and just genuinely so fun loving with each other. We enjoyed exploring all over Longwood Gardens and finding all of the beautiful spots for their engagement photos.

Longwood Gardens Engagement Photos

Longwood Gardens is such a beautiful spot if you’re searching for an elegant and clean location for your engagement photos. It is a stunning botanical garden that has over 1,000 acres to explore! While we were exploring around, there were gardens, fountains, and beautiful architecture that complimented their style and outfits so well. Longwood Gardens is located in Kennett Square in Brandywine Creek Valley!

Frank and Emily chose simple, classic outfits for their session and were so stylish and fun! For photos, I always highly recommend to wear something that compliments the location. Generally, if you stay clear of super vibrant colors and patterns, it’s a safe bet that it will go perfect with where we’re photographing at, and continue to be timeless. Longwood Gardens was gorgeous and their white outfits fit the scene so well. We even caught the golden hour light, which made for the most beautiful, dreamy photos! We talked a lot about their upcoming wedding day at Terrain Gardens, which is a stunning venue in Devon, Pennsylvania!

Let us capture your golden hour engagement photos!

Thornbury Farms created the perfect space for Dana + Conor’s Wedding Day. It was an absolute dream to photograph and capture their love story. They kept their wedding day intimate and intentional and it was so beautiful! Their wedding day was made of the sweetest touches, her absolutely stunning lace wedding dress, and the dreamiest simple boho decor. It was an honor to witness and photograph. Dana and Conor chose to do a first look (yay!) and exchanged personal vows together, all ending in shedding a few tears, including me. It was so heartfelt and intentional and I couldn’t hold it back witnessing such a beautiful moment between these two.

A Fall Wedding at Thornbury Farms

If you’re looking for a beautiful venue around West Chester, you have found it in Thornbury Farms! It is full of nature and greenery and perfect for couples who love the outdoors. For their ceremony, Dana and Conor sealed their marriage under a gorgeous tree. Their reception followed and it was just as beautiful. They had food trucks and drinks under a stunning pavilion that also doubled as the perfect dance floor!

Boho Intimate Outdoor Wedding in Pennsylvania

There was something so beautiful about their ceremony. For one, the tree and timing created the most gorgeous , perfect light for them to exchange their first kiss. Dana’s father passed away a few years ago and we all could feel his presence during their ceremony. I was being creative during their ceremony and using a copper pipe to create a flare, but instead we got this beam of light shining down on Dana. It gave us the chills and we all believe it was her dad shining down on her special moment.
