Carly & Kyle’s engagement session at Race Street Pier in Philadelphia was an absolute dream—and made even better by their adorable dog, Mac! This was my first time photographing at this iconic location, and it did not disappoint. With the stunning backdrop of the Ben Franklin Bridge and the peaceful riverfront, every moment felt effortlessly romantic and fun.

We met early in the morning, just as the city was waking up. The soft morning light cast a beautiful glow over the pier, creating the perfect setting for their session. Carly & Kyle’s playful energy made every shot feel natural, from sweet, quiet moments by the water to Mac happily stealing the spotlight.

Engagement sessions are a time to slow down and celebrate this exciting chapter, and Carly & Kyle’s love was so evident in every frame. I can’t wait to capture their wedding next year—it’s sure to be just as full of love, laughter, and incredible moments!
