Pose for the camera

During the planning process, I always advise my clients to set aside a few hours in any given day and schedule an engagement session with their photographer. Unlike the wedding day,where there is a ton of "hustle and bustle", the engagement session gives the couple the opportunity to truly relish in each other's love and have it documented...not to mention you can feel like a true superstar and have an excuse to shop. Who doesn't love that?

Engagement session photos can be utilized for ceremony or reception decor, incorporated into your wedding stationary, or simply retained as your own keepsake. What I love the most about the sessions is that typically, my Clients say that they experienced a much needed "break" from the planning process and really enjoyed themselves. The session also gives the photographer a little room to be more creative.

This is one of my absolute FAVORITE engagement session photos of my gorgeous October bride Tiffany. How fabulous is this shot?

So, did you elect to have engagement photos taken? If so, what was your experience. If you are newly engaged, are you considering? We'd love to know!

Jennifer & Colby

Jennifer and Colby are our Virginia connection.

One of the best perks of being a Wedding Coordinator, and especially one located in Cherry Hill, New Jersey,is that due to our geographic location between New York and Washington DC, we have engaged couples come into the Delaware Valley region for their nuptials. This Virginia couple found Philadelphia the perfect location for their "destination" wedding.

Jennifer and Colby and I have been working together for months on thier wedding taking place next May. I remember the first time we met at the Hyatt Penn's Landing. From the very first exchange, it was obvious that this was a couple in love. Not just ordinary love either. These two truly finish each other's sentences, talk in a private language and laugh at each others jokes. They have THAT kind of love.

We don't get to see each other very often, since they are a distance planning couple for POSH, so we welcomed their last visit to the city for their engagement session with the always fabulous Rob Medina. Here are a few sneak peaks:
