Real Engagement Session : spring is the season for love to grow

Today's engagement session of Josh and Kim is from Levi of Brooklyn based studio, Levi Stolove Photography. The photos were taken at Meridian Hill Park in Washington DC. When I asked Levi about the story behind the plant bouquet, here's what he wrote, "Kim and Josh had made a cutting of the plant and were growing it in a vase. I asked if she wanted flowers for the shoot and rather then buying cut flowers we all thought it would be great to use a plant that they plan to grow for a long time (like their love : )". What a sweet story.

Thank you Levi for sharing this adorable engagement shoot with my readers today. To see more from Levi Stolove Photography, please visit his web site for more beautiful photographs.

Real Engagement No2 : bubbles, painting and the outdoors

We are now on to the 2nd engagement shoot from Heather H Photography today.
