Holly & Chris grew up locally to Medford and we decided to have their fall engagement session in Medford, NJ behind the Medford Library. Medford Township sits in Burlington County, about 20 miles southeast of Philadelphia, and the wooded trails and open meadows behind the library make it one of South Jersey’s quietly beautiful spots for fall portraits. Decades-old oaks and maples drop just enough color in October and November to give that warm, saturated fall light without the crowds you’d find at a state park. She was a trooper wearing her dress as it was very cold this wet and chilly fall day. We trekked through woods & forest and had an amazing time. I am so happy with their session and they are truly awesome to work with. They have two beautiful Wall Art pieces that we created for them and I can’t wait for their wedding this spring at The Ballroom at The Ben in Philadelphia.
This is a double exposure on my film camera as well as the next two photographs. Something that I serendipidsley created.
Holly wore a dress on a cold, wet fall day and didn’t flinch about trekking into the woods. That says a lot about the kind of person she is. We went deep into the tree line, moved through clearings, came back out to the open field near the library, and covered a lot of ground. The double exposures you see in this set came from a roll of film I was running alongside the digital work. Something I created in-camera, not in Photoshop. When it worked, it really worked.
Their Wall Art pieces came together after the session and they were happy with how it all turned out. That kind of instant connection you get with a couple on a get-to-know-you shoot carries straight through to the wedding day. Holly and Chris were getting married at The Ballroom at The Ben in Philadelphia, one of the most elegantly restored venues in the city.
We serve South Jersey couples from Mount Laurel, across Burlington and Camden County, through the Delaware Valley and into Philadelphia. If you are planning an engagement session in the Medford or Marlton area, reach out to check availability.
