Even though Bobbie and Owen knew I had moved to Denver, Colorado, Bobbie had heard only good things about me from her friend Mallory, whose Engagement and Wedding I shot this year, and just couldn’t resist inquiring if there was any way she could get me back to the Poconos for her 2012 Wedding in Peckville.

Luckily for both of us, I am still accepting up to five weddings per year in the Northeast, with minimal travel charges (only one spot left currently!) Having finally just met Bobbie and Owen in person for the first time, I am just THRILLED to have them as one of my carefully selected 2012 Northeast Wedding couples! Their engagement session at Longwood Gardens this Friday was an absolute blast, and I definitely lucked out with such a young, beautiful, fun and spontaneous couple!

Because almost all of the gardens seemed to go into deep shade after 6:15 p.m. we lost the sunlight quickly, but we definitely capitalized on the little time we had with it for some of the first photos from our shoot!

There was one shot Bobbie wanted from a previous shoot I had done at Longwood, so as we were on a mission to find this gazebo in the massive 1,077 acres that is Longwood, we came across a few other photo worthy locations.

And Behold! The Gazebo! Ha! I just love how natural these two were able to be in front of the camera… though I’m pretty sure my verbal diarrhea had something to with that…

Onto my favorite part of the day… we were just about finished with the shoot, when Bobbie and Owen jokingly asked me if they should just jump into the fountain… I look at them with my excited beggar eyes and said, “Really?! You would do that!? For me?! Yes pleeasseee!” I was in total shock when they obliged. I totally loved how NOT ONE of the three of us, was the least bit embarrassed acting like kids in such a high-end shoot location. People passed and commented (all friendly), but we were having so much fun, we hardly even saw them!

To Bobbie and Owen: I just loved hanging out with you two yesterday! Thanks for making the trip, you two are going down as one of the coolest, most outgoing couples I’ve ever worked with on an e-shoot, so needless to say I can’t WAIT for your wedding!
