Connor contacted us a few weeks ago as a man with a mission.  After mulling around some different options, he decided that an Addison Street Proposal in Philadelphia between 18th and 19th streets would be the perfect place for his big moment.  We’ve done about twenty proposals here and over the years have honed our lighting technique to produce gorgeous proposal pictures at this particular location.  As Connor teared up, Jessica offered an enthusiastic yes at approximately 6:42:08 PM on Friday, November 29, 2019.

Both were overcome with emotion so we used telephoto lenses to keep our distance about 50 feet back for 5 minutes to give the couple some intimate moments to themselves.

Addison Street Proposal Reaction

After the big moment, we give couples some private time before we move in to pose some portraits.  We also do our very best to share 1-2 professional photos the SAME DAY so couples can begin informing family and friends.

Planning your own proposal at Addison Street Philadelphia?  Contact John Ryan at J&J Studios, LLC.  We usually will stay hidden and use long-range telephoto lenses for the actual moment so that it is just the two of you.  After giving you 10-15 minutes alone, we will move in and pose some beautiful portraits to commemorate your big day.  We wish Connor and Jessica the best as they begin the wedding planning process.  Are you planning your wedding or engagement?  Contact us today!  We offer photo, video and gorgeous albums and wall art.
