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?

Danielle and Frank weren’t used to being in front of the camera, so they were pretty shy at first. Not sure where to put their hands. Giggling because […]

Best of 2022 Engagement Sessions

Jan 11, 2023

Engagement sessions are a very important piece to the HMP experience. So much so that they are complimentary in any package that a couple would select. We consider them that valuable!
