This past weekend I met up with Sayra & Jonathan in Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia for their engagement session around the park! It was an absolutely gorgeous morning – the light was soft, there was a rustling autumn breeze, and everything was falling into place perfectly. The lovebirds met at the University of Pennsylvania, where Jon recently graduated and Sayra is a senior!
One of the most romantic parts of their love story was Jonathan’s proposal – he wanted Sayra to be completely surprised but he knew that she would notice if he started asking questions about her ring size & favorite settings. So one day, in the pouring rain, he got down on one knee on Penn’s campus and asked Sayra to marry him. Even without a ring, he knew that he wanted to marry her and he couldn’t imagine spending the rest of his life without her by his side… just a simple little thing called love!
Enjoy a little glimpse into their session! Congratulations Sayra & Jon!
What a gorgeous couple… the autumn backdrop is so romantic and beautiful!
Nat the black and white one with the leaves twirling around them is just PERFECT!
Oh my gosh I’m going bananas over the falling leaves photo! Frame that and put it EVERYWHERE! I love that they dressed up for their session- I always feel like clients have a bit more fun when they’re dressed to the nines and feelin snazzay.
They are such a fun couple. ahh shot with the leaves in the wind is amazing!! Also, I love the ring! So perfect.
Love Rittenhouse for shoots! Look like a lovely couple.
