University City & 30th Street Station

We will discuss your style, whether it’s urban and bold or soft and romantic and choose locations accordingly. At the station, you’ll find dramatic neoclassical stonework, sweeping interiors, high ceilings and columns. Outside in University City, you’ll find ivy-covered walls, low-traffic walkways and leafy paths. Together, we’ll map a path that covers contrast and variety while staying logistically smooth.

Given the mix of architecture and greenery, we’ll guide you on wardrobe options that play off both urban structure and softer foliage: think structured jackets or dresses for the station’s interiors, and lighter layers for the walk in University City. We’ll also factor in timing, morning or golden hour, to ensure the light complements your outfits and the setting.

Yes, we’ll allocate a session timeframe that allows moving between the station’s interiors and an outdoor walk in University City, giving you two looks in one engagement shoot. We’ll build in time for transition, wardrobe adjustment if needed, and make sure we don’t rush. The key is capturing variety while keeping the session enjoyable.

We’ll work around the weather and light. The station’s interior gives a strong backup option if outdoor light is poor or the weather is challenging. If sunlight becomes harsh outdoors, we’ll move to shaded or covered walkways in University City. Our goal is to keep the session comfortable for you while still delivering high-quality images.

We’ll use this shoot to get comfortable: you’ll move naturally through the station’s arches, walk through the cityscape, pause in softer garden-style corners, and we’ll capture you both interacting naturally. This helps you relax, know how we work, and gives us a chance to learn your best angles, so on your wedding day, everything feels more fluid and confident.
