We met Allison and Joe at a local cafe, within walking distance of their home, and now I want every session to start that way! Had one of the best cortadas of my life and Jeannie had a phenomenal chai! (Kept us nice and warm for all the chilly weather we were about to face!) We got to chat with Allison and Joe for a little bit, and then got started on their engagement session!

We walked to their place and were introduced to their little pup named BAGEL!! Is there a better name for a puppers?! And he was also wearing the cutest little doggie bow-tie!! 

After we got some pictures of Allison, Joe and Bagel in the Philly neighborhood that they call home, we took off on a little stroll down to the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. (Rocky fans will recognize some of the steps in these pictures!) On the way there we were blown away by all the fall colors that were sticking around this late in the season! (Seriously, Jeannie was absolutely freaking out about it, but you’ll understand why when you see these pictures!) 

Despite the cold, Allison and Joe were troopers and we had such a great time capturing them throughout our walk of the city. We’re really looking forward to their wedding in September at Manufacturers’ Golf & Country Club!

We had a long drive home from Philadelphia after this beautiful, chilly engagement session so we of course hit the same cafe we started out for some more fuel! We may have over caffeinated that day but it was worth every drop!
