It was a magical December day for an engagement photo session at the famous Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA with Mallory and Ken. I was especially excited because this was my first time visiting Longwood Gardens and I've heard a lot of good things about their awesome holiday lights displays. Mallory grew up going to Longwood Gardens with her family and it's one of her favorite places. She and Ken have also been there on dates together, so it was a perfect location for a winter engagement photo shoot. I had an awesome time with these two exploring the gardens, climbing tree houses and walking through fields. We even managed a few photos inside the greenhouse/conservatory, which was absolutely packed with people being that it was a weekend near Christmas. I am looking forward to photographing these two at their winter wedding in December of 2015! Can you find the bird houses in the tree house?

This green living wall of plants where Mallory and Ken are smooching lines the hallway where individual bathroom pods are nestled in between the greenery.
