Julio & Elizabeth
June Engagement In Longwood Gardens
Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA is such a beautiful location for an engagement session. If you get there on the right day, during sunset and can avoid the people around the property, you can get some gorgeous images! This session was no exception. Julio & Elizabeth wandered the gardens with us for a few hours. This place is gigantic so we chose three of our favorite spots to hit and shot there. We started at the Italian Water Gardens before heading over to the indoor atrium on the other side of the park before finishing up in the newly opened fountain area. The entire area gives such beautiful, soft pastel-y colors during golden hour. Elizabeth was a champ! She walked all over the place in her heels! We had the best time with them and cannot wait for their wedding this October!
Their Proposal Story:
We actually photographed their proposal during Julio’s brother’s wedding last June (don’t worry. It was pre-approved by the bride!). It happened during the bouquet and garter toss. Typically, the bouquet is thrown first, but in this case, it happened second. Julio’s brother, Eddie, threw the garter and it was on to the bouquet. Anisha had her back turned to all of the girls on the floor, including Elizabeth. Anisha wound up and prepared to throw the bouquet, but right as she reached the peak where she would let go and toss it, she froze, turned around and handed the bouquet to Elizabeth. She seemed a little confused at first, but then Julio came up with mic in hand and asked her to marry him right there at the reception! She was clearly so surprised and said yes!! Everyone cheered and applauded for them! What a special moment for this family to celebrate Eddie & Anisha’s marriage and Julio & Elizabeth’s commitment to one another. Can’t wait to celebrate another wedding with this family!
Julio & Elizabeth, we loved spending the very hot evening with you at Longwood Gardens! We cannot wait for your wedding and to capture more beautiful photos of the two of you! Thanks for braving the heat with us! We hope you enjoy some of our favorites from you engagement session!
