Wildwood Engagement | Jacqui & Ben

Wildwood has that loud, sun faded, salt spray energy old-school rides humming, seagulls talking trash, neon already buzzing before sunset. It’s chaos in the best way where Jacqui and Ben fit right in…

Wildwood has that loud, sun faded, salt spray energy old-school rides humming, seagulls talking trash, neon already buzzing before sunset. It’s chaos in the best way where Jacqui and Ben fit right in.

We started on the beach, bare feet, rolled cuffs, wind in their hair. They danced in the tide, splashed through the water, and kissed between waves while the ocean nudged along. The sand was still warm and we took that mood up to the boardwalk: heart sunglasses, tattoos, ice-cream drips, ferris wheel spinning, goofy laughs by the haunted house.

Carrie and Frank's engagement in Ambler, PA

carrie_frank_02.jpg

It's spring time, the trees are blooming, the birds are chirping and April is by far the best time of the year to take engagement photos. Ambler, PA provided us with a beautiful canvas for an engagement shoot.Carrie and Frank were brought together by the love of music when they were regularly going to festivals to see Phish, Grateful Dead and other bands. They had many overlapping circles of friends but their timelines would never work out. Eventually, they've met outside of the festival scene and one day found themselves on a beach, falling in love.I'm looking forward to their wedding in September in Valley Forge.
