This past weekend it was FRIGID. I'm talking bitterly cold. Mariana & Derek braved the cold though, and we were able to make their engagement session happen - at least it was sunny, and there was no snow on the ground! We started off their session on Penn's campus, in the dorm where they met and lived for 4 years. Mariana is from Brazil and is living there now, so we managed to squeeze in their session while she was back in the states. Her and Derek have been doing a long distance relationship ever since she graduated about 2 years ago, and she'll continue living in Brazil until their wedding:) I was so glad we were able to make this session happen while she was here, I loved hanging out with you both!
This is the view from the top of their dorm on Penn's campus - how's THAT for an awesome view!
Gorgeous:)
I just love how these two interact with each other:)
Next we headed to Rittenhouse Square, to the exact spot that Derek proposed:)
LOVE this ring shot - isn't it an awesome ring? Mariana was telling me how there is no such thing as "engagement rings" in Brazil - you usually just decide as a couple that you're engaged, and that's that! They only exchange wedding bands. AND they wear their rings on their right hand, instead of left. She got an engagement ring anyway, and I love that she did:)
TOO sweet!
Thanks for braving the cold with me this weekend guys, I had so much fun hanging out with you!!
It’s wonderful to see her in front of the camera!
