A Winterthur Gardens Proposal & Engagement Session
The story
When Sam told me he was planning to surprise Mackenzie with a proposal, we started brainstorming locations of what felt like them and settled on Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library in Delaware. To get Mackenzie to the spot, I asked her to model for some portfolio photos at Winterthur. Little did she know Sam had tagged along with me and was waiting anxiously for her to arrive!
Mackenzie and I wandered for a bit and then I sent her on a little walk around a small pond so I could get some "wider shots." And guess who waiting there — Sam! She was completely shocked.
After she said yes, we spent the rest of our time together wandering around Winterthur Gardens and taking engagement photos throughout the property.
Engagement Photos at Winterthur Museum & Gardens
Winterthur is such a beautiful location for Philadelphia engagement photos, with its historic architecture, gardens, wooded paths, and quiet corners that make it easy to create a gallery that feels varied without ever leaving the property.
For couples planning a proposal, engagement session, or wedding at Winterthur, it’s hard to imagine a more beautiful setting.
And for Sam and Mackenzie, it was the perfect place to begin this next chapter.
