Engagement Session on Sea Philly

Anna and Tom’s engagement session on Sea Philly was one of those golden days that felt easy and full of joy. We had originally scheduled for an earlier date, but the weather had other plans. Luckily, our reschedule gave us nothing but sunshine—even if the wind had its own ideas!

We took the session out on the water with Sea Philly, which added the perfect layer of magic. The wind whipped around us, the boat rocked gently, and instead of stiff posing, we leaned into the moment. Hair flew, laughter echoed, and every photo felt genuine. It was relaxed, romantic, and full of movement—just the way I love it.

Their styling matched the vibe perfectly. Anna wore a stunning white dress that felt both elegant and effortless. Tom wore a soft tan suit that screamed summer sophistication. Together, they looked timeless—like a modern-day postcard from the Italian coast. That was intentional. They’ve vacationed in Lake Como together, and this vintage boat session was a nod to those memories.

Anna and Tom officially met on Bumble, but their roots go way deeper. They actually went to the same school growing up, which makes their story even sweeter. There’s something so special about finding someone familiar and seeing them in a new light.

They’ll be tying the knot at Curtis Arboretum later this year, and if this session is any indication, it’s going to be a beautiful celebration filled with warmth and personality. I loved how much they trusted the process—wind, waves, and all. It gave us something truly unique and full of feeling.

Can’t wait to document the next chapter of their story.
