Ridley Creek State Park Engagement: Melissa & Vito

Vito and Melissa first connected on Instagram, and he was intrigued by this young lady who was interested in photography, enjoyed being outdoors, and loved Jesus. The two quickly became friends, and it wasn't long before he suggested they meet "offline." A friend accompanied her to this first date (to make sure he wasn't too creepy), and Vito and Melissa have been nearly inseparable since.

We met up at Ridley Creek State Park in Media, PA, and caught some beautiful sunlight. Vito is a landscape photographer, so it was a little intimidating taking photos of him and his beautiful wife-to-be. There was no need for me to worry, though, because these two are so sweet and adorable together. After exploring the mansion and gardens at Ridley Creek we hopped over to Okehocking Preserve and caught the last of the sunlight there.

Vito has been one of Andy's closest friends for years, and it's been such a pleasure to watch his relationship with Melissa grow. We can't wait to celebrate with you!
