e-session: jessica + phil

this was my first session for the new year...what a fun session! this recent photo shoot in new jersey was for the engagement of this sweet & cute couple. the session was an engagement gift from their friends with whom i also had an engagement photo shoot a few years ago. i don't normally have winter outdoor sessions but the couple recently just got engaged in the winter so they requested for a winter photo session. i happily obliged and just hoped for weather that wasn't below freezing! i kept wishing that it wasn't winter so we could last longer outside in the cold. luckily, we had a great sunny afternoon at the park despite the cold weather though it got bitter cold and dark really quick. i was glad that it wasn't too cold in the beginning of the session that we were able to take some photos without their winter coats. kudos to the couple for braving the cold w/o their coats! and also bringing some props which made the session more fun. :-) in the end, despite the cold weather & leafless trees, the lovely couple made the winter season look beautiful.

to jess and phil, congratulations again on your engagement and thanks for a great session! sorry that we had to rush when it got dark so quick! i hope you like your sneak peek and the rest to come soon.

i wish you all the love, peace and happiness for the rest of your lives together.

lots of love...

this was how he proposed! cute! :-)
