Worth the parking ticket:
Lauren and Francisco // Engaged in Manhattan
Labor Day. Spent with Lauren and Francisco, on a rooftop in Manhattan:
Amanda + Tim // Engaged in Philadelphia
Photographing close friends is pretty indescribable. I (Marisa) met Tim 9 years ago my first day of college in North Carolina. Although we rarely see each other, he's remained a true friend and a total inspiration. Tim's a seriously talented guy, insanely kind, and really found an equally incredible person in Amanda. Couldn't be happier for them both - I love these two so much. We're literally counting the days until their wedding this fall in North Carolina. I'll get real sappy when the time comes but, until then - here's a few frames from when Amanda and Tim came to visit:
Ana + Peter // Engaged Carousel Farm Lavender
We had the most amazing afternoon with Ana & Peter wandering around The Carousel Farm Lavender. Constant laughter, abundant sunshine and a farm full of alpacas...the perfect trio:
Colleen + Sean // Engaged on a sailboat
Colleen and Sean's engagement shoot: on a boat, under the Ben Franklin Bridge. This was a pretty spectacular afternoon:
Check out American Sailing Tours for (easily) the best view of Philadelphia.
Shaina + Eddie // Engaged in Brooklyn
It honestly doesn't get much better than these two. An afternoon spent together, in Prospect Park, had us feeling like close friends.
And if every shoot ended as the sun set on a New York rooftop, we'd be alright with that:
Jess + Bowie // A Surprise Proposal
A meticulously planned & flawlessly executed surprise proposal - easily the most emotionally charged morning, ever. Sharing this monumental experience, with strangers turned friends, rehearsing the lines, the timing, the music & eventually hiding in the dark, waiting & waiting. With the help of his family & friends, Bowie transformed a private airplane hanger into The Perfect Proposal. Obviously, she said yes:
Lizzy + Tim // Engaged
We got to know (the very adorable) Lizzy & Tim while joining them on one of their favorite hikes through the Ashland Nature Center. They're such incredible people to be around & they're giving us plenty to look forward to next year. This was the perfect way to spend a fall afternoon:
Johanna + Andre // Engaged
A perfect New York summer afternoon:
Nicole + Brian // Engaged
There are few things better than starting a shoot as strangers and ending as friends. Nicole and Brian are so much fun and so clearly in love. And you'd be hard pressed to find a couple that looks this good drenched in multicolored paint. Although, I'm positive it's impossible to take a bad photo of Nicole. Whoa. Their wedding on December 22nd is officially our early Christmas present.

Jess + Carmen // Engagement shoot at The Metropolitan Building
We've been looking forward to meeting Jess & Carmen for what seems like forever and couldn't have asked for a better afternoon.We had the opportunity to wander around their incredible venue, The Metropolitan Building, while we waited out the rain.
Jess & Carmen are absolutely two of the most inspiring and positive people to be around. Countdown to October 27th starts now.
Karen + Paul // Engaged
Meeting Karen & Paul felt like reconnecting with long-lost friends. They're two of the most genuine, likable & perfect-for-each-other-people around. Really (really!) looking forward to their wedding in August.
May + Sean // Engaged
Our first trip back to New York, in well over a year, was greeted by the amazing May & Sean. If you can't tell by the photos, these two know how to have a good time. Their wedding this August at the beautiful Rhinecliff Hotel is going to be the party of the summer. We. Can't. Wait. Here are a few favorites from our shoot at the High Line:
Lauren + Joe // Engaged
Lauren & Joe: easily two of the coolest, most noticeably in love people we've had the pleasure of spending time with. Their wedding is going to be incredible this September, can't wait!
Karen + Greg // Engaged
We had a great time exploring Valley Forge National Park and the town of Phoenixville with Karen & Greg!Can't wait to shoot their wedding this September! Check out a few favorites from our shoot:
Travis + Judy // Engaged
