Francesca and Alex


Francesca and Alex first met online, and although their initial dating period was short, they remained close friends for years. They eventually decided to give their romance another chance, and last year, Alex proposed to Francesca at a winery farm in Napa, California.


I was searching for a couple to photograph for an engagement shoot in a Facebook group when Francesca contacted me. She and her fiancé, Alex, were more than happy to drive down to Double Trouble State Park in South Jersey for the session. The day was incredibly humid with a high chance of rain, but nothing could dampen their spirits or stop them from capturing these special moments.
