Chelsea and Jon both grew up in the same neighborhood in Mountainside, New Jersey. They met in elementary school and remained close friends throughout their high school and college years.
After high school, Chelsea went off to college in Boston, Massachusetts and Jon went to Villanova College located in Pennsylvania. During those years Jon went to visit Chelsea in Boston a few times and than later on while she was studying abroad in Spain, he made a vacation out of seeing Spain and Chelsea! All this time they remained just friends.
Sometime after they both graduated college, they would often times spend their summer weekends enjoying mutual friends at the Jersey shore together. Well as fate would have it, they fell in love!
Their romance began and soon after they decided to move to NYC together to enjoy one of their favorite cities ever! Jon works in investment banking and Chelsea works in financial planning. The whole vibe of the city is something they both love so it was no wonder that is where they chose to do their engagement session. One of the things that Chelsea loves about New York City is yellow cabs! She always wanted to do some fun photos to incorporate this aspect of New York City in her collection, so we found a wonderful taxi and made some magic!!
I have to say that I totally fell in love with Chelsea's dress and shoes! Her style is adorable to go along with her fun and happy personality! Jon looked so handsome in his gorgeous Brooks Brothers suit!
So let's back up a moment to where Jon proposed! This past March they went on a vacation to Mexico for some fun in the sun! Little did Chelsea know what Jon had planned! Their on a beautiful romantic beach having a private dinner for two, Jon asked Chelsea to spend forever with him!
They are planning a beautiful September wedding next year! I cannot wait!!
