Epic Proposal at The Ballroom at Ellis Preserve

There are a plethora of settings in the Philadelphia Pennsylvania area that can serve as the backdrop for a host of special events worth acknowledging and celebrating. One such event is an engagement, and one such setting it the building and grounds of of the Ellis Preserve and the photo session of the Epic Proposal at The Ballroom at the Ellis preserve.

The Ballroom at Ellis Preserve in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania was built in 1932 as a Greek Revival structure. It was named after Charles E. Ellis, a local entrepreneur who left his estate to Establish Ellis College in 1909.  The building features towering columns and marble stairs. The building had a history as a school. From 1922 to 1977, the property was home to Ellis College, a school for girls in the Philadelphia regions. In 1970’s, the school was sold to ARCO for research and development, and in 2001 SAP purchased the rest of the land. Today the Ballroom at Ellis Preserve is a popular wedding venue, having been purchased in 2016 by the Finley Family.  The ballroom can accommodate up to 250 guests and the venue’s grounds can be used for outdoor ceremonies or cocktail hours.  
For this lovely couple, they decided that the wonderful building and grounds provided the perfect place for them to memorialize their proposal. And what better photographer to capture their special event that award-winning photographer John Ryan of J&J Studios of Philadelphia. John has managed in the ensuing photographs to highlight some of the more intimate moments of the day. He has fully used the settings that the Ellis Preserve offers – the building, the grounds, and the natural that surrounds the preserve.

The combination of the backdrops switching from the buildings to the the trees and nature give provides a variety of angles that diversify the young couples adventure. The use of natural day and evening lighting creates lovely mood to the photographs and will certainly provide a wonderful souvenir for this couple for many years to come.
