Colorful Conestoga House and Gardens Engagement Session

Jul 22, 2021

Colorful Conestoga House and Gardens Engagement Session

When you think of Italy, you think romance, love, and of course, pasta!

I know, you are probably thinking, why am I talking about Italy to start a blog post about a Colorful Conestoga House and Gardens Engagement Session. It’s simple! This country embodies the two amazing people I got to photograph at this session.

Meet Marissa and Joe!

These two are a fun-loving, romantic couple that just loves the atmosphere that is linked to Italy. From the delicious food to the air of romance, it perfectly describes them. So much so, that they will be getting married next year at the stunning Folino Estate. A gorgeous Italian-inspired vineyard!

But all through their relationship, glimpses of this love have shown through!

Their first date ended with a long conversation while they shared a pizza together. The perfect way to get to know someone, if you ask me! They even traveled to Rome together to explore the place that they loved! Good food, great wine, long walks to see stunning locations. What more could you ask for!

It’s easily both of their favorite dates!

But even past the food and wine, Marissa and Joe’s personalities complement this place so well! Throughout the entire session, Joe constantly had a positive attitude and was up to try anything. As long as Marissa was by his side or wrapped in his arms, he would give it a shot. The romance and love between these two is contagious. Each smile back and forth made your heart just leap! It is so special to see the romance between each of my couples.

So unique. So special!

Marissa and Joe started out the session a little nervous. As do most of my couples. But I could tell as the minutes ticked on they started to relax and just be themselves. You could see each of them calm each other down. Just being in each other’s presence was enough to let them enjoy this new experience together! And can I just add, they nailed the session! These photos are absolutely stunning, and they are only my favorites!! Joe knew exactly what to say or whisper in Marissa’s ear to have the biggest smile stretch across her face. Sometimes I didn’t even know he said something, and she would bust out laughing with him. They seriously made my job sooooo easy! Their love is one-of-a-kind, and having the honor to document it is something I will never take for granted! It is truly an honor!

Bring on October 2022, so I can get these two back in front of my camera!

XOXO ~ Heather Marie
