Bia + Steve | Engaged

An MVP engagement session - Philly style!

Bia + Steve rocked our socks off. We met them in Rittenhouse Square and had so much fun exploring the city with them. They were both full of energy and couldn't have been any sweeter. Bia shares my love of all things creative - dancing, photography, painting... And Steve is a funny, laid-back guy who explained the history of every place we visited. It was awesome. We loved every second of our whirlwind tour of Philadelphia.

Next month, Bia + Steve will be married at the American Visionary Art Museum - one of our favorite spots in Baltimore. They're both from Maryland, so it's only fitting to have their wedding here. We're super excited for their big day! A huge thank you to Jessica and David's mom for passing along our info to them. You're the best, Mrs. Factor! :)

Here's Steve sporting his "S+B" henna heart. He + Bia had mehndi applied the night before for fun.

The man working at the Roxy Theatre was kind enough to let us come in between movies and shoot for a few minutes.

Bia's henna...

Steve is a med student (and Bia also works at the school he attends), so we visited the gross anatomy department where he spends most of his time, and got a little silly. **On a side note - Drew and I saw cadavers in body bags for the first time! Not something you would expect to see during an engagement session, but it was interesting and creepy ;)

I mentioned charity:water in a previous post last month. Bia + Steve's friend helped start this wonderful organization that brings clean drinking water to developing nations. Visit charity:water's website here and support the cause!

Bia + Steve - you both are delightful. Thank you for showing us around your hood :) We'll see you very soon!

A poem for Maria + Drew:

There never were two photographers who
Knew how to capture light in just the right hue.
Through talent and skill in shooting unobtrusive;
They translated love from elusive to conclusive.
Their warmth and cheer was never ending.
We'd even say it was perfect spending
A warm day in Philly with the two greatest pair.
Thank you Maria + Drew for your great care.

With much gratitude and more, Bia + Steve

these are some of my favorites. I love love love the movie theatre shots. Did you actually see a movie? Did you have to pay to get in and then leave or did they let you come in and shoot? Either way, these are great. I want these people as my friends.

My favorite engagement session! This couple is adorable, they chose a fantastic location and I don't know what else to say. I want to be friends with them (especially after reading that poem).
