Manayunk Engagement Session in Philadelphia | Katherine & Colin

Katherine and Colin are getting married! To celebrate, Katherine and Colin took us to their favorite neighborhood in Philly, Manayunk for their engagement session. If you’ve never been, make time to stop and visit  Manayunk. It’s such a vibrant neighborhood right along the Schuylkill River. Each street is filled with these incredibly colorful homes and artwork everywhere you look. We absolutely fell in love with the area during Katherine and Colin’s Manayunk engagement session! 

Philadelphia Engagement Session

Manayunk was the perfect spot for Katherine and Colin’s session because it just fits their energetic personalities. They kept us laughing the entire time we were together – from drinks at the bar to looking through all the unique artwork and murals we passed. It’s fun to watch other couples be so in love and so relaxed together. All engagement sessions should reflect who you are – whether that’s someone who loves to wander the museums in NYC or explore a colorful neighborhood in Philly. 

We’re so happy that Katherine and Colin introduced us to this sweet and beautiful neighborhood. It won’t be the last time we visit these hilly streets and we can’t wait to capture more sessions in Manayunk!
