Emily & Matt | A Purgatory Chasm Engagement Session

I’ve said it before, and I’m sure I’ll say it again, but I really love it when couples invite me to their favorite places for their engagement sessions. For Matt and Emily, that place is Purgatory Chasm State Reservation. We spent an evening clambering over rocks and exploring. We shared a good laugh with another group of hikers – one of whom was carrying an over-tired puppy who could not walk any further. When I commented that it was the cutest thing I’d seen all day, Matt was quick to jump in with “um… Emily!” Touché.

Matt and Emily also happen to have one of the cutest engagement stories I have heard. Last year around Thanksgiving, the two were spending an evening in, and Matt suggested they update these timelines they had previously made that showed their relationship progress. When they’d finished, Matt said he just had one more thing to add for 2014, and got down on one knee. My heart definitely melted when I heard that.

These two are planning an intimate wedding next June at an apple farm. With the beautiful setting and their artistic talents – Matt is a musician and Emily is a graphic designer – I’m sure it will a feast for the senses.
