Old City Philadelphia Engagement Session | Elizabeth & X’Zayvier

Elizabeth and G have been together for nearly nine years after first meeting in college. Over the years, their relationship has been shaped by shared values, strong family connections, and a mutual appreciation for hard work and ambition. They also bond over simple pleasures together, especially trying new restaurants, sharing wine, and enjoying Italian food whenever they can.

Their proposal took place near the Philadelphia Museum of Art during the holidays in a quiet spot away from the crowds. While Elizabeth had a feeling a proposal was coming soon, the timing still surprised her. Afterward, they celebrated with both of their families at her aunt’s house, a rare and meaningful gathering since his family now lives in Florida. For their engagement session, they are drawn to locations that feel personal to them, including the grounds of Huntingdon Valley Country Club and classic Philadelphia city scenery.

Here are some favorite moments from their timeless Old City Philadelphia engagement session captured by Ralph Deal Photography.
