Elegant Longwood Gardens Engagement Session

Mar 21, 2024

On March 14th in 1993, PA had a blizzard that left over two feet of snow. On March 14th in 2024, PA had 72 degree weather and was filled with sunshine. Which would you rather have?

Megan and Brady were thankful for the latter for their elegant Longwood Gardens engagement session.

As I type this, we are back down to 43 degrees and windy. The luck of the weather working so beautifully for their session can only be thanks to Him!

Brady and I have known each other since we were little. We grew up at the same church. Seeing each other weekly in our Sunday School class. As the years went on, our paths grew apart, but our parents still stayed in touch. So I knew Brady had been traveling all over for his career. He was a physical therapist and had worked for several NFL teams!

It was awesome to hear which team he was with each time my parents got an update!

My favorite team he worked for was, of course, the Pittsburgh Steelers! How awesome is that?! I may have asked him a few too many questions during our session, but I was just so intrigued about his time there. He had gone to school at the University of Pittsburgh, so it was the perfect connection for his career.

But even more perfect than that was his connection to his soon-to-be wife!

Megan and Brady met at the end of their freshman year at a school fundraiser. It was a dance marathon, so they spent the first 24-hours of knowing each other on their feet. It was meant-to-be. Megan has been so supportive of Brady. Traveling with him for his career and loving every minute of it!

But it doesn’t just go one way!

One of Megan’s favorite things about Brady is how much he supports her. He truly is all in with whatever he or she does! They make the most of their time together, even if it’s a night in with comfy clothes on and a board game. (Personally, that sounds like a FANTASTIC night).

These two are truly meant-to-be!

It was so evident during their elegant Longwood Gardens engagement session. Checking in on each other. Laughing together while I got ready for a shot. It was so sweet to watch. Plus, they blew me away with the photos! These two are naturals without even trying. I seriously can’t wait for their French Creek Country Club wedding in June. I can already tell it is going to be amazing! Thank goodness I only have to wait a couple more months. These sneak peeks will help hold me over until then.

XOXO ~ Heather Marie
