When you think of beautiful settings in the Pennsylvania area, Longwood Gardens immediately comes to mind for many individuals living in the tri-state area.  Longwood is one of the world’s great gardens, and is a leader in their legacy, innovation, and stewardship.  And what better place to celebrate a special event than capturing a family maternity memory at Longwood Gardens!

Longwood Gardens are a living expression of all that our founder, Pierre S. du Pont, found inspiring, meaningful, and beautiful. From the intricate fountain systems to the meticulous gardens to the architectural grandeur, awe-inspiring discoveries await at every turn, and gives them the ability to be leaders in the public horticulture planning and adherence to the principles on which the gardens were originally founded.  And Longwood Gardens continues to maintain their integrity, beauty, and stewardship by operating under four areas of concentration:

Biodiversity and Conservation

Materials Management

Water Quality and Consumption

and Energy Use and Impacts

The concentration in these key areas is responsible for the beauty of the gardens, guaranteeing it to be available for many generations to come, and  makes it the ideal place for capturing a family maternity memory at Longwood Gardens by this lovely couple.

Longwood Gardens is known for being a beautiful setting at certain times of the year, all year round.  But they are widely known for the lovely holiday setting during the months of December – January. You can set your spirits ablaze in their Conservatory, where magnificently decorated trees, thousands of poinsettias, and fragrant flowers transform their Conservatory into a holiday wonderland. Outdoors, stroll through a half-million lights that dazzle and delight, cozy up to their fire pits, feel like a kid again at their festive Garden Railway, and find surprises at every turn.

Look for yourself how the mood of each shot conveys a different theme and feeling. The change of a camera angle, the lighting, the backdrop, the positioning of the couple, the focus of pieces within the shot, are just a few areas that are a consideration by expert photographers like John in creating the most stunning and memorable pictures. His unique eye and talents have produced thousands and thousands of pictures, as well as videos. In some circumstances, John has even incorporated drones to capture wide-angle shots when the occasions would benefit.

For this couple, John has helped them capture what is just the beginning of a new journey as parents for the bundle of joy that they are expecting.  It’s an exciting time and a time that is worthy of the caliber of talent that John Ryan and J&J Studios of Philadelphia can provide.  If you are interested in the services of a leading Philadelphia photographer, please visit John Ryan of J&J Studios for all of your photographic needs.
