Ah Longwood Gardens… One of our favorite places not only for sessions but just to visit and take in the beautiful sights. Specially on a dreary day or in the midst of winter. There is truly nothing that can compare to breathing in the warm misty air of the botanical gardens, and of course, all the gorgeous florals!! So needless to say, we were excited to make our way back down to Longwood Gardens for Becky + Mike’s engagement session. Without knowing, we planned it perfectly that our visit was on the last day of the Japanese lanterns, which hit close to home with Becky. And she has been in the process of making thousands (and yes – we mean literally thousands) of tiny paper cranes for their wedding day and said that they would bring a strand to incorporate into photos. Now those are the kind of props we love, something that is incredibly meaningful to our couples. It fit in so effortlessly into their session.

We had so much fun wandering around the gardens with these two and cannot wait to see them again for their wedding day at Bear Creek Mountain next August!!
