A Summer Engagement Session in the Hollow | Kerri + Michael
Recent research has shown that play is a big part of our well-being, both mental and physical. I started reading more about this phenomenon after listening to and photographing Doc Trish earlier this year in California. Now, I watch for people who “play” with each other more rather than focusing on (and worrying about) all the tiny insignificant details. Let’s just say, these two have that covered. I’ve never met a couple who were so willing to laugh and play together as Kerri and Michael. This session was SO MUCH FUN.
Wolf’s Hollow County Park in Chester County, PA didn’t allow us to drive from spot to spot staying cool in the air conditioning of our cars so Kerri took my advice and got handheld fans to keep the air moving as we walked from place to place. The park held particular meaning to her growing up down the road from it and, even though she and Michael now live 3 hours away in New Jersey, she still frequents it on visits to her parent’s house. We exchanged death march stories from our childhood memories with our active and adventurous parents and Mike’s ability to turn anything into a joke kept us rolling laughing the entire session. I was so grateful for the humor and fun. It has been a super busy few weeks on my end and it was just the session I needed to keep me going and remind me why I love what I do so very much. And, if anyone needs a pick me up story, ask them about their adventures (or more accurately horrors) in moving into their new home. Bugs and bears….oh my!
Kerri and Mike, so yeah, I still won’t be visiting any time soon…Love you guys though!!! Thanks for having fun with your session and coming so far for it. You lit up my whole day with your joyful spirits. Thank you for trying a few new things with me and for being so good at taking direction. I am in love with your photos and I can’t wait for your October 2020 wedding at The Barn at Stoneybrooke!!!! See you soon!!! And, because I know how hard it is to wait, there are some surprises in your inbox RIGHT NOW so go check!!! XO - Megan
