Elegant garden engagement shoot in Philadelphia
Fans of the hit TV show Shark Tank on ABC may recognize the groom of this elegant garden engagement shoot in Philadelphia. Dr. Shaan Patel was a winner during Season 7 for his education product, Prep Expert. After achieving a perfect score when he took the SAT, Shaan started Prep Expert to help other students achieve their best possible scores.
Shaan and Megha were married in California, but they wanted their engagement session to take place in Philadelphia where they were living at the time. The couple really wanted a European look for their engagement photos, so they and their photographer, Callie Manion, headed just outside the city to Longwood Gardens.
The beautiful gardens span more than 1,100 acres of intricate fountains, grand architecture, and beautiful flora of all kinds. The couple chose the perfect outfits for the setting with the bride in a pale pink silk gown from Camille La Vie and the groom wearing a light gray blazer. Then for the second half of their session, Megha changed into a white, off-shoulder Reformation dress with Shaan in a classic suit.
