Our Forever Story

I am a sucker for enthralling, captivating, inspiring, and beautiful marriage proposals. Thankfully, being an engagement photographer in Philadelphia, I have had the immense privilege to witness and capture wonderful moments and memories that, for a couple, will last a lifetime. When Molly Hall visited her family in New Jersey, she did not have the faintest idea that she was about to experience a surprise of a lifetime. Hailing from Mississippi, it was a trip up north that she would never forget. A trip surrounded by family, love, and new beginnings.

Her brother led her in front of the First Presbyterian Church in Haddonfield, New Jersey, where she was surprised when her (now) fiancé, Ashton Wedel, grabbed her from behind. Molly had no idea that he would be there, too! You would think that this was romantic enough, and it truly showed how much he cares for Molly. Well, there was more. Molly did not know what Ashton had up his sleeves… or pocket!

Ashton’s thoughtful planning allowed Molly’s family to be part of her proposal. This let them share in one of the most memorable moments of her life. Leading her in front of the church, Ashton knelt and asked Molly to marry her. Of course, she said yes! And the official engagement was sealed with some magical photos of these two – like this one!

The Defintion Of Love

Love: |luv| – n

1. an intense affection for another person based on personal or familial ties
2. the deep tenderness, affection, and concern felt for a person with whom you have a relationship

Cheers To Forever

As it goes, Molly was astounded, elated, and awed by everything that was happening. We think every person deserves the surprise of their lives. For Molly, having Ashton propose before her family and in front of one of the most majestic and breathtaking spots in New Jersey was unsurpassed.

The First Presbyterian Church stood behind them as though paying homage to their love with its magnificent windows and brilliant architecture. The well-kept luscious-green grounds provided the perfect backdrop. The scenery, the family, and the pleasant weather were all in agreement that this was a Heavenly proposal and that the two make a great couple.
