While Naseem and Matthew currently reside in Texas, Matthew’s parents live in Waterford Pennsylvania. Traveling back there (about 2 hours from Pittsburgh, just outside of Erie) was kind of like traveling back in time for me. Growing up, my parents owned a large art gallery in the heart of town. I passed by the building on my way to our session and was surprised to see it’s now a popular (and, according to Matthew’s family, very good) restaurant.
Just a few minutes after the old gallery, I pulled up to Matthew’s parent’s home where I was greeted by firm handshakes and warm smiles. Their house was big, beautiful and full of loving faces. Fifteen loving faces to be exact.
I spent two hours with Naseem and Matthew, documenting the soft smiles and secret laughs they exchanged. They dodged poison ivy together, roasted marshmallows and kissed under a ceiling of ivy.
I cannot wait to witness these two wonderful people marry later this year back in Erie Pennsylvania.






























these are so beautiful veronica! i absolutely love the marshmallow roasting idea, and you did a great job with it!
I just love this session. What a great idea with the marshmallows and the ones on the porch.. so sweet and genuine.

Wow these are absolutely gorgeous. The affectionate pictures look so natural. Great job, Veronica!
Beautiful work! Super cute couple and the marshmallow shots are adorable!
Ummm, holy gorgeous colors and use of light Veronica!!!
Wow the two individual ones of them both, I don’t know if it’s smoke, or a glass pane behind them, but the soft background combined with those tones, just lovely.
Super sweet and the colors are so incredibly lovely.
What a fun and gorgeous couple! I just love this session.. and I look forward to seeing their wedding!
A lovely shoot, striking images!
