Fall Engagement Session – Hellerick’s Family Farm – Doylestown, PA

engagements

I met Nicole and Shawn for their farm engagement session at Hellerick’s Family Farm in Doylestown, PA. It was an amazingly beautiful day in late October just before sunset when we arrived at the farm. It was my first time to this location and when we first walked in it was busy with kids and family playing games and picking out pumpkins. We ducked into the corn maze for portraits, then wondered around a bit to see what inspired us. It is a small farm, but lots of cute places for fall themed photos. Nothing says fall more than the leaves changing colors and we found some beautiful trees on the edge of the field. They have a few red barns which made great backdrops for their engagement photos. Although we didn’t go on a hayride, we came across a cool wagon which worked nicely for a few photos. I love their DYI save the date pumpkins which they stenciled by hand and will be using for their Save the Date Cards which they will soon be sending out for their wedding. Just before closing the farm cleared out and we were able get some quick photos of the empty farm. They wore matching red and black flannel shirts, jeans and boots – the perfect outfit for a Fall engagement session! Hellerick’s Family Farm has a great rural vibe and was definitely worth the trip.

It was wonderful to meet Nicole and Shawn and spend the evening with then exploring the farm together. I have some favorite locations to do engagement sessions in Philadelphia, but I always welcome the oportunity to go someplace I have never been before. Nicole and Shawn will be getting married next Summer in the Poconos. They selected a rustic wedding venue with a beautiful barn reception at Memorytown USA. I can’t wait to be a part of their big day!

Here is a little bit from Nicole about their love story and upcoming wedding..

How he proposed

Shawn proposed to me on December 16, 2016. We took a mini vacation together at Split Rock Resort in Mt Pocono. We had many wonderful winter activities planned such as sledding, and ice skating, but found out when we got there that the place to go sledding was closed and it was not cold enough to ice skate and it seemed like our little vacation was going down the drain fast, but we were optimists and made the most of our trip. During one of the nights we spent there, we went out to dinner and came back to our cottage and started a fire and were drinking wine by the fireplace and Shawn asked if I loved him. I said yes, and right then and there he asked if I would marry him and I said yes. It was so romantic!

Wedding Planning

Shawn and I originally wanted to get married in the fall, but my brother and his current wife already had “dibs” on it, so we figured our next best thing would be to have fall engagement photos. We got so many fall engagement photo ideas from Pinterest and decided that’s what we wanted to do for pictures. We started wedding planning and our wedding date is on June 2018. I got my dress, and my bridesmaids got theirs. My fiance and his groomsmen will be picking tuxes in December . We have our venue set for Memorytown in Mt Pocono and we have our DJ picked. Our experience so far has been great, and we have really been having a fun time picking everything out!
