Engagement Photos at Kennywood or Zoo

dalecnar

Hi ladies ~

  I'm going to be getting my engagement photos in the upcoming months and I was having a hard time picking a location since my FI is not from the area.  I was thinking about doing Kennywood or the Zoo since we both love to go there in the summer.

  Has anyone had their engagement photos at either place?  My photographer said Kennywood was a good idea as long as I wouldn't mind other people being in the background of my photos.  I figure that if I go to Kennywood one of the first weekends it is open in May then there should be less people.

  If anyone has any input, I'd appreciate it!!

I think they are both fun places!  I kinda prefer kennywod, but thats just me.  Take a look through the pictures and see if you think you are ok with the number of "other people" in the pictures for both places.

I honestly had not seen e-pics at either location until I just saw the links that md shared and personally, I like the Kennywood ones better! The colors and composition of shots is great!! While the zoo is really nice too, my vote is for Kennywood based on the links that md posted! HTH!

Thank you so much for the links!!  I agree that the Kennywood pics are much more fun - I LOVE the pic of the couples in front of the moving carousel.  I  can't wait to show my FI!!

My photog did an e-pic session @ Kennywood, then went to Mellon Park. They were super cute!
