Ben and Katie’s engagement session made my heart swell. They are the kind of couple you meet once and instantly root for. He’s a golf guy through and through; she has the biggest, warmest heart—and together they’re a perfect match. With their spring wedding at Stone Ridge Acres in McAlisterville, PA we celebrated with an engagement session that felt like them. It was playful, personal, and full of easy laughter. From skipping, to twirling, Katie and Ben kept ME smiling throughout our evening together.
A Session That Showed Off Their Story
From the start, I knew these two were going to be such a delight to be around. Katie lights up around Ben, and he returns it in that steady, grounded way. It’s the kind of chemistry that photographs beautifully.
Location & Light That Flattered Everything
Central Pennsylvania delivers soft, rolling views and golden-hour light that flatters every scene. We timed Ben and Katie’s engagement session to catch that dreamy, last-hour glow. It’s perfect for natural skin tones and creamy backgrounds. This combination of Snyder County scenery and warm light works especially well for couples who want photos that feel timeless without feeling staged.
What to Wear for Central PA Engagement Photos
Katie chose a neutral piece with soft textures. It was perfect against the greens and warm fields we shot in. Ben kept it classic and comfortable, which is perfect for outdoor engagement sessions. If you’re planning your own session around Selinsgrove or greater Central PA, consider:
• Neutrals & layers that complement the landscape (creams, sage, soft blue, tan).
• An elevated look to make those photos pop.
• Meaningful accessories—Specifically the ring. I love to be sure to feature your beautiful ring on your session!
Looking Ahead: A Spring Wedding at Stone Ridge Acres
Stone Ridge Acres in McAlisterville, PA is a dream backdrop for a spring wedding. It features expansive grounds, beautiful light, and plenty of room for portraits. Katie and Ben’s connection will pair perfectly with the natural textures and open-air views there. If you’re planning a wedding at Stone Ridge Acres (or anywhere in Juniata County), an engagement session like this is the best warm-up. You and your love get comfortable in front of the camera, learn your most flattering angles, and build a flow with me before the big day.
