Things I love: Philadelphia and couples in love. Brandi and Josh call Philly home, so it was a no brainer to have their engagement photos there! This city holds a special place in their hearts forever and always. Their spring Old City engagement photos could not have been more fun!
Brandi and Josh met at a local bar in Philly the day after Brandi’s 21st birthday. They spent the night chatting and hanging out, and Josh even offered to keep it going after the bar closed. However, Brandi had her sights set on Wawa mac n cheese, so she agreed to another date a few days later. Josh offered to cook on their first date, so Brandi set out for his house (that wasn’t on Google maps yet). Brandi thought she was walking into a trap, but found out later that his house was newly built!
Now they’re planning their spring wedding at The Barn at Stoneybrooke and I can’t wait! Four years together has brought them here and they have a lifetime of love and laughter together.
We met up a weekday morning in Old City and the weather did us a solid. They had beautiful overcast light which made any and all spaces SO easy to work with! We began their Old City engagement photos at Merchant’s Exchange Building, one of my favorite spaces in Philly. These two are soooo much fun together! They’re always laughing and keeping each other smiling. Spring was in full swing that day, so we had gorgeous weather and beautiful blooms all around us. Brandi LOVES flowers, so that made it extra special for her. I can’t wait to see what she picks for her wedding day blooms!
This was an incredible session and has me SO excited for their wedding day! I’m so thankful to have the best clients on the planet. Enjoy some favorites from Brandi and Josh’s Old City engagement photos!
