I’m thrilled to share Jess and Mike’s awesome Philly engagement session, featured on Brooklyn Bride! Check out the full feature here!

Jess and Mike love Philadelphia! Although they live in Alexandria, VA, they both have family ties to the city of brotherly love and will be married there this December.

These amazing murals really capture the city, their love and their story. I had so much fun photographing Jess and Mike and these unique and funky pieces of art!

Jess and Mike met at a Phi Alpha Delta interest meeting at James Madison University in the fall of 2005. Jess says, “We wanted nothing to do with each other.  I thought he was really lame and he thought I was a complete snob.  Looking back now I laugh, because he truly is the funniest guy I know!”

Mike adds, “Somehow, despite our obvious incompatibility, we managed to kindle a friendship in the months to follow and the rest is history.”
