Engagement session in and around Easton

It's always fun to introduce people to some of Easton's most scenic spots. Sarah and Keith are engaged to be married next year at The Riverview Country Club and enjoyed walking around Lafayette College's campus for their photo session.  We drove past Easton's Farmer's Market and down to the Delaware Canal Park where I showed them the shad migration fish ladder and the recently restored towpath (great for biking, which Keith was excited about).  I told them that it goes on for miles and that the only way I can be coaxed onto it is with a promise that we'll stop at The Riegelsville Inn for lunch.   

Welcome!

Perfect timing! The engagement and the season, too.  The fall leaves and autumn sun were at their best this weekend, offering the kind of backlit glow that photographers love, and romantic couples--well, they don't necessarily notice the lighting.  That's my job.  The location for this photo session, on the hilltop campus of Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania, is one of my favorites for so many reasons.  Notice the century-old  Japanese cutleaf maple surrounding the couple with those amazing branches?  Naturally, it's a great backdrop, but it's also a reminder that some things become even more beautiful when they endure.  I'm really looking forward to photographing this very sweet couple once again at their wedding at the Hotel Bethlehem next summer.
