Julie and Ben | Engaged!


Julie and Ben's
engagement session in Jim Thorpe

Julie and Ben came to town recently to meet up for their engagement photos. They had Ben's parents along for their visit and his adorable daughter Charlotte was also in tow. After a quick meet and greet, their family split and we got down to business over a few brews. The shoot was a fun and easy stroll to a couple of our favorite tucked away places in Jim Thorpe that Julie had previously spied on our blog. It was a gorgeous day! Looking forward to the wedding in June!
















Kim and Chris' wedding at the Please Touch Museum

Chris and Kim's
wedding at the Please Touch Museum

In the planning stages, Kim and Chris said they were hoping for a "fun and fancy event, where family, guests and ourselves can relax and just enjoy the experience without worrying." The day started with getting ready at the Four Seasons Philadelphia. The hotel staff graciously allowed us access to their rooftop for a private "first look" location among the skyscrapers towering overhead. We then jaunted around the city with the wedding party to capture photos at several iconic Philadelphia portrait locations. It was pretty much non-stop action! Kim and Chris have a great sense of humor and were a pleasure to work with. We particularly enjoyed exploring the Please Touch Museum with them. There are so many fun places to take photos!

Our Lady of Lourdes is a gorgeous church. I loved the blue behind the altar! This church was special as well because Chris' grandparents were married there too. Back at the Please Touch Museum after the ceremony, guests were treated to cocktail hour around a carousel followed by dinner and dancing in the PTM's unconventional-yet-spectacular ballroom setting. Wedding/party band Contagious did a great job keeping the party going as did the staff with Brulee Catering. Scroll on to check out some of our favorite moments from this "fun and fancy" event!
