Valley Forge National Park is quickly becoming a fun new location for me and engagement sessions! I feel like I should shoot here all of the time and never get tired of it! Thankfully, Matt & Morgan agreed to come to Valley Forge National Park – I don’t think it disappointed at all. Especially with Morgan’s amazing taste in her dresses!
I actually first met Morgan when she was a bridesmaids in one of my previous client’s weddings and from then on, we just clicked! She’s been in multiple weddings of mine as bridesmaids or even as a guest, so it’s an extra special treat to have her in front of my camera as the BRIDE-TO-BE! *cue the happy tears*. I’m officially counting down the days until their Excelsior wedding next year!

“Matt is an accountant from South Jersey and I am a Physician Assistant born and raised in Lancaster County. Although very different in our individual interests: Matt loves everything sports and I love shopping, iced coffee, and reading. We are both very laid back people and can have fun doing just about anything even the simple things. We particularly love going to Wineries, his grandparents shore house, walking our dog, Harper, together in the evenings after work, and enjoying drinks out on our patio.“
“We met at King’s College when Matt asked me to go to Dunkin with me (hence my iced coffee obsession). Initially I said no but we continued talking and the rest is history. Eventually after sticking out long distance for almost our entire relationship Matt made the move to Lancaster and our relationship grew even closer.”
“Matt proposed to me at Nissley Vineyards in March of 2021 with our dog Harper there! In typical Matt fashion it was all planned out. I knew all week something was up and either thought he was going to break up with me or propose. There was no in between.”
“After he proposed he took me to dinner and messaged some of our closest friends to meet up with us in the city afterwards! He was so nervous it was adorable. He actually forgot what he wanted to say when he proposed. Afterwards, he asked if he could recite his initial thoughts which ended up being so thoughtful and sweet.”
“When asked about his proposal plans he said the “hardest part was getting Morgan to look nice without giving it away because she loves her sweat pants”. What can I say.. the guy knows me well.”
