Baltimore
Baltimore has some amazing choices for engagement photo locations! We love it for its striking public artwork — you can get captivating looks just by strolling downtown. The historic waterfront at Fell’s Point is also full of character and makes for distinctive shots with an old-world feeling.

Boston’s got a little something for everyone — from the beauty of Boston Public Gardens (how about those swan boats!) to the stunning city skyline of the Harbor Walk, to the wooded paradise of Topsfield Holiday Tree Farm— you’re certain to find a look you love.
Harrisburg
Harrisburg is full of charming locations for the perfect shoot. You’ll love the color and life of the dynamic landscaping of the riverfront to the rich textures of the City Island and Market Street Bridge. We love this combo of glass and stone!
Hartford
The nature-loving couple is going to have a blast at the gorgeous Harkness Memorial State Park and Sugarloaf Mountain — both the shoreline as well as the rolling hills make for beautiful engagement photography.

Lehigh Valley has many charming spots just waiting to be discovered! Get lost in the rows of grape vines at Manatawny Winery or explore the great outdoors at Jacobsburg Park where you’ll find rugged trails and natural textures.

In Philadelphia, you can step through the atmospheric Old City, full of brick alleys and lovely homes.

Pittsburgh holds a special place in our hearts! Hartwood Acres is a location full of romantic charm with its classical architecture and spreading green lawns, while Station Square offers opportunities to play along the riverfront and capture some uniquely Pittsburgh looks.
