Today I got to spend some time with Denise and BJ to capture some engagement shots in Philadelphia. Denise is originally from the area and just loved shooting inside the Kimmel Center. BJ is from the Bronx and felt right at home in the alleyways and the stoops nearby. This was a really fun couple and they held up like champs even though is was very cold and windy outside. I can’t wait to shoot their wedding!

Today was very cloudy but very bright up at the rooftop garden at the Kimmel Center. So I decided to play around and got a really nice silouette against the Kimmel Center’s cool roofline.

As we wandered around inside the Kimmel Center’s main concourse area, we found this really cool couch and wall. Denise made herself right at home.




After we wrapped up inside the Kimmel Center, we braved the cold and found this cool stoop to take a few pictures on. BJ said it reminded him of home mixed in with a little history.
