Ariel & Josh – Engaged

On Friday evening, I met up with Ariel & Josh at Valley Green Inn for their engagement session. We spent half the time there and half the time in Chestnut Hill, but pretty much the entire time, we couldn’t stop laughing. Honestly, those are the best kinds of sessions… when two people can really make each other laugh. Ariel and Josh have been together for eight years… all the way back to Freshman year of high school (which makes me feel old, as I graduated from college 8 years ago). But, anyway… they are truly made for each other. And, I am very excited for their wedding this October at Ballroom at the Ben. Happy viewing, friends!
Josh’s first request was to get a shot of him smelling Ariel’s hair. I thought this was the better image, though. :-)
i LOVE LOVE LOVE this next one!
It was quite chilly in the shade at Valley Green Inn, so we went straight up to the town of Chestnut Hill after those… Josh was hoping to lure strangers into their portraits, I think.
love this sweet moment.
love these next few, right outside of our favorite kids’ cafe in Chestnut Hill!
…but honestly, we could’ve had our entire session in front of the toy store! it was the perfect colors!
LOVE!
last one to close… the swings were a little low to the ground for swinging (made for kids for sure), but we still played!
thanks so much, Ariel & Josh!
