Ali & ford will be holding their wedding later this summer at the Colonial Dames House in Philadelphia. The other week we met up also in Philadelphia (Fairmount Park to be precise) for their engagement shoot. Ali & Ford have lived in and around Philadelphia for some time and they knew the park pretty well. So, they led the route around the park from the Japanese Tea Garden area onto The Belmont Plateau (where everybody go) for a breathtaking view of the Philadelphia skyline. Next we went back to Ali & Ford’s apartment….which is more like an incredible old, beautiful home. You’ll see photos below. They love living in this unique space and both realize that they won’t be able to live here forever, so we took some photos of Ali & ford around thier “current” home. I felt like they could have had this place in a magazine like Dwell. It was just too cool. Thanks so much for spending the evening with me guys. I really enjoyed hanging out in your home. I can’t wait for your wedding at Colonial Dames (one of my favorite venues)!






Fun with extreme close-ups and wide angle lenses!
























I brought my Holga out for a few shots throughout the evening. These next two are from that film camera.






Some of the wonderful details from around Ali & Ford’s home. These two are both designers. I loved their style.
