This past Fall, I photographed Kelsey and Greg’s Laurita Winery engagement session! Kelsey and Greg met in the 6th grade when Greg was the new kid on the basketball team and they instantly became best friends. They later started dating after their freshman year of high school.

These two have been together for so long and have been through so much together that is hard for Kelsey to say when she knew Greg was the one, but she knew they had a future together after being able to make it work throughout college followed by pharmacy and dental school. They would go weeks without seeing each other, but they always made an effort to make things work and support each other through the tough times. It was during that time that they both realized they couldn’t see a future without each other in it.

Engaged on 03/10/2018, the proposal from Kelsey: “I thought I was going to a local park for a memorial in honor of Greg’s grandmother. When we got there, I was totally shocked to see pictures of us from every year (2007-2018) lining trees leading up to the water. At the end of the path of trees, there was a dock covered in rose petals and more pictures. When we got to the end of the dock, Greg read me the most beautiful letter and proposed! Afterwards, we went back to my parents’ house where I was shocked to see over 80 of our closest friends and family there to celebrate.” Click here for their engagement details on How He Asked!

When these two aren’t planning their rustic, classic, and elegant fall wedding at the Collingswood Grand Ballroom with a burgundy and blush color scheme, they love to spend time with their family and friends, trying new wine, playing very competitive scrabble games, and going to the beach. Once married, they want to travel before starting a family, which they are very excited for! Their ultimate goal is to buy a shore house so their family can spend their summers at the beach.

Any advice for future bride’s planning?
