You want to pop the question!! Ring is bought and you are looking for the perfect spot to ask the love of your life to share all your tomorrows.
if you are working with a photographer, they will probably have great suggestions for you. And there are lots of things to consider. Photography takes into consideration time of day, sun angle, other people in your shots, and many other options.
Planning a Couple Photo Shoot is loads of fun. I am located outside of Philadelphia in South Jersey and have many spots that are located on private property. I also love a stroll on the Jersey Shore. I have some special spots that are perfect for engagement portraits.
Here is a list of places I like in Philadelphia. Some might need a permit, others are perfect for a stroll.

Of course, you might have access to a private space that is special to you both. I was so fortunate to have an “in” at Google Headquarters in Manhattan, NYC. We got to play on their terraces overlooking the Manhattan skyline, in their cafes and lounges.
Where is special for you?
Whatever you choose, have FUN. This is a wonderfully happy time for you both.
And contact me if I can capture this magical time for you!
