A sweet neighborhood proposal followed by a surprise engagement party at Second District Brewing

Some proposals are just pure joy, and this one hit us right in the heart. Cibi and Chris are close friends of ours, so getting to photograph their engagement was extra special. Chris popped the question on a walk along a lovely cobblestone street and Cibi’s reaction was everything—pure surprise, laughter, and a full face of smiles. 

When she finally looked up and caught me photographing, she screamed in delight. These two are a riot. We love them so much.

After the proposal, Chris had one more surprise up his sleeve, a celebration with friends and family at Second District Brewing. As soon as Cibi walked in, she was met with a wave of cheers, hugs, and happy tears. We’ve got so much love for these two, and watching their story unfold has been the sweetest. And the best part? Their story keeps unfolding. We just photographed their newborn baby (yes, full circle moment), and we cannot wait to share more from that next chapter soon.

We love photographing engagements and surprise proposals, especially in South Philly. It’s our neighborhood, so these sessions always feel a little extra special. Following couples from proposal to wedding to babies is one of our favorite parts of this job. Watching love grow and getting to document it along the way never gets old.
