Emily and Michael’s Engagement

It’s time for a love story so divine it feels like a fairytale! Emily and Michael ventured into the world of online dating and came out victorious. Emily is a gorgeous goofball who adores animals, while Michael is a cool-as-a-cucumber guy with showstopper dance moves.

From their very first date, Emily and Michael were on the same page, and they couldn’t wait for the second. Their dreams and future plans aligned perfectly, so they decided to share life’s journey together. Whether they’re enjoying home-cooked meals or savoring ice cream, they couldn’t be happier as long as they are together. Emily and Michael cherish the deep understanding they have of each other, more than anyone else.

We did their engagement session at Paulus Farm Market, a place known for its beautiful blossoming flower fields. Emily’s love for flowers and the peace they bring made this the perfect spot. This family-owned business offers local produce, a FarmPark with animals, and delicious ice cream from the Cow-Lick truck.

Our second location was just a short distance away. Michael chose Mechanicsburg Brethren in Christ Church (McBIC) for its lush green grounds and personal significance. One of the church’s guiding verses is Matthew 9:38, “Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”

It was my pleasure to capture Emily and Michael’s engagement photos at places that reflect their likes and values. Emily has found her “Mickey” mouse, and Michael couldn’t be happier!

Holly is a joy to work with and be around!! She’s so upbeat, bubbly, and personable! She has an artist’s eye with her photography, which I LOVE!! She made us feel comfortable with different poses and trying some fun new shots! She had her own shot list and was open to our ideas as well!! We will definitely be using her services again!
