I thought it was pretty adorable that before they had even discussed it together, Brandon already had thought of the perfect location for his & Megan’s engagement session. Of course it HAD to be at York College! To the average person it might not seem like such a big deal but for these two, this was not only the perfect location but the most meaningful. It was, after all, the place where they met and fell in love! What’s more special than that?? I mean, my husband and I met at our workplace in CVS Pharmacy and that wouldn’t be cute for photos. It’s not every day people get to credit a gorgeous campus as the birthplace of their love story. Just from deciding on this location alone, I knew it was going to be a great engagement session 🙂 And then I finally met them and fell in love with them even more! Megan & Brandon currently live in Maryland and with me being in New Jersey, there was no easier way for us to talk than through Skype! But even through talking with someone and seeing their faces that way, it’s even more special and important for me to capture their engagement session and get to know THEM and who they are as a couple. And I learned a lot about these two during my time with them. All good things of course 😉

I learned that these two LOVE to laugh together and NOTHING makes me happier than a couple that likes to laugh together…. especially when I’m a photographer capturing a couple’s happiness and all I tend to get are sweet photos of them laughing together. That truly melts my heart and makes me fall in love with my couples even faster. These two were NON stop laughing and giggling! In fact, there are some photos where they are laughing so hard I actually got a teeny bit nervous while I was editing them, thinking “what were they laughing at again?? was it me??” I really don’t think it was me saying funny jokes behind my camera. I think that’s just who they are together! Another thing I learned about Megan & Brandon is the love they have for the place where they met and fell in love, York College! It was fun walking around the small, quaint campus with them and hearing them totally getting freaked out at how familiar it was to be there again. They had only graduated 2 short years ago! The fun thing is it holds nothing but dear memories for them and still continues to! Not only will they look back on these photos with even greater memories to cherish but ALL of their siblings attended/are attending York College as well! How fun is that!?

I’m so thankful for Brandon and Megan for so many reasons! It was a CHILLY morning when we met up for their engagement session and they braved the cold with me for a while, especially in their York T-shirts! But I’m not going to lie, I secretly love cold and windy sessions because it means Brandon’s got to hold Megan a little closer to him and that’s never a bad thing for me to capture 🙂 I’m also so thankful for the fact that even when I had to postpone their session the first time all thanks to a nasty stomach bug, they were TOTALLY cool about it. I could go on and and on about these two… but luckily I get to do that next September after their wedding day! I can NOT wait for their wedding day already and can not even imagine how GOOD their wedding photos are going to look. If they were nervous at all, I’m sure it does NOT show in these photos because all I see is big smiles, sweet kisses and lots of warm hugs… and TONS of giggles!! And honestly, I wish I looked this good when I laughed! Megan & Brandon… I hope you LOVE your engagement photos and I hope it gets you 10x more excited for your wedding day next September!! I hate to rush these special days but I can’t wait to hug you guys again and see you become husband and wife!! 🙂 Enjoy my favorite images from their beautiful, fall engagement session at York College!
