If you’re happily engaged and looking for a great place to get your engagement photos taken, you couldn’t be in a better spot. Here in the Lehigh Valley, there are MANY amazing spots for engagement photos, much more than 5, but the following are some of my favorites, and deserve your consideration!
Trexler Memorial Park – Allentown, PA
This park is amazing for it’s varied scenery, trees, grasses and overlook, and is so big that it’s a great little bout of exercise too! I have taken many a favorite shot here and I come back again and again.
Lehigh University – Bethlehem, PA
I am an “old building” lover and you just can’t do better for architecture than the turn of century buildings and gorgeous landscape at Lehigh University. It’s academic, timeless, and I have so many favorite corners, you will always win here.
Historic District/Downtown Bethlehem, PA
I am biased, because I live in this town, but I know this area by the back of my hand, and I love that you can go from open pathways, to quaint brick doorways, to stunning architectural interest all in a few blocks. I will always push this one especially to Bethlehem locals!
Valley Forge Park – Valley Forge, PA
It’s a teeny drive from the valley, but well worth the trip. Valley forge is vast and breathtaking, with monuments and structures that will simply stun time and time again. Any time I get to come out for a shoot, I wind up blown away by the results.
Longwood Gardens – Kennet Square, PA
Ok… hear me out, this one isn’t exactly in the Lehigh Valley either but it’s just such a favorite for me I couldn’t not end on this note. Longwood Gardens is one of my favorite places in general, truly a marvel to behold any time of year, and when there is love in the mix, it’s like a fairy tale come true.
Do you have a favorite location in this amazing group of towns? I must know! Leave me a comment!
