There are many occasions where it is desirable for individuals involved to have the desire to capture the event on film or photographs in order to enjoy for many years to come. A major reason is, as the old saying says, “the days are long, but the years are short”, and as such time can be fleeting. So this allows folks to enjoy and treasure the experience they engaged in long after the event itself has passed. Such was the case of the Logan Square Proposal of Molly and John.

One aspect of such an event is the location. In this case, the couple chose Logan Square as their photo venue. Logan Square is a vibrant mix of historic buildings, swanky high-rises and museums sharing verdant parkland. Designed by Philly-born sculptor Alexander Calder, the bronze figures of the park’s Swann Memorial Fountain symbolize the city’s waterways. Logan Square’s personality defies a single definition. It combines corporate and municipal office buildings and luxury high-rises with modern and historic houses along tree-lined side streets. Museums bordering the wide Benjamin Franklin Parkway add yet another dimension. Green spaces — including the area’s namesake — provide spots for relaxation, reflection and fun. Popular attractions for both local families and out-of-state visitors include the Barnes Foundation and the iconic LOVE sculpture, a popular spot for tourist selfies. Logan Square, which sits between Broad Street on the east, the Schuylkill River on the west, Market Street on the south and Spring Garden Street on the north, is home to many iconic Philadelphia attractions. City Hall, the hub of city government, is a natural focal point. Its elaborate architecture and ornamentation often catch the gaze of passersby and photo takers. The architectural equivalent of a wedding cake, the sprawling building is adorned with carvings of allegorical figures and capped off with a prominent statue of William Penn, all designed by Alexander Milne Calder

For Logan Square Proposal of Molly and and John this was a very logical choice. It provided a number of lovely settings in a simple but interesting backdrop which enabled their award-wining photographer, John Ryan of J&J Studios of Philadelphia, the ability to artistically intertwine the various settings in order to provide the couple with a variety of special moments that they will embrace as they begin the official journey that will ultimately culminate in the wonderful celebration of marriage.

From the ensuing pictures you will be able to see a display of the artistry of photographer John Ryan. He works closely with the individuals who are fortunate enough to engage him to partner in the full scope of what they mutually wish to accomplish out of the photo shoot. This ensures that he and those who engage him are working towards the same goal of what the end result should look like.
