MORE end of summer date ideas!!

Okay okay so mayyyyybe you saw my last blog post about southeastern PA date ideas and you were like “dang, those are some really good date ideas … but I don’t live in southeastern PA.” Don’t worry girl. I gotchu. Here are some more end of summer date ideas for pretty much anywhere — feel free to tweak to your area!!!

  1. Watering Hole Hike
    You can go on hikes in the winter, but you sure as HECK can’t get in the water!! Well, you can. If you’re superhuman and don’t feel the cold. But I’d raaaather not hike back in soaking wet clothes when there’s a good chance those clothes will freeze in seconds

  2. Camping 🙂
    I mean technically you can camp in the winter buuuuuut it is MUCH more comfortable to not have to worry about freezing to death in your sleep if you don’t have the proper gear!! I love camping, but I’m a naturally cold person and I really just don’t know if having a thin piece of fabric separating me from freezing temps would be enough to sleep comfortably!

  3. Winery
    Yes, please! This is such a summertime date — picture rolling green hills, sunglasses on your head, golden sun shining down as you cheers a delicious glass of white wine with your love … I mean come ON. What’s not to love about that? I can’t quite picture this date with heavy winter coats and no leaves on the trees. Gotta make use of all this green while it lasts!!

  4. Sunset Picnic
    DUHHHH!! It gets way too cold to enjoy the sunset outside in the wintertime. Plus, sunset happens like mid-afternoon in the winter so a romantic dinner picnic is pretty much off the table. Soak it up while it lasts, folks!

  5. City Tour!!
    You can also do this date any time of the year … buuuuut there are SO many more options available in the summertime! I’ve done city tours in the winter, and let me tell ya — not having to worry about winter coats and hats and gloves and scarves and frozen toes while walking around outside all day is a *beautiful* thing. Plus, you don’t have to worry about getting caught in a snow squall (yes, that’s also happened to me on a winter city tour!)!

I hope these gave you some last-minute date ideas to soak up the warm weather while it lasts!! It can be tempting to wish away the suffocating heat and humidity in favor of warm sweaters and hot cocoa, but don’t forget to take advantage of all the fun dates that are possible or even just better in the summer months.

“Gabriella was absolutely amazing!!! Words cannot even describe how perfect she was, but I’ll try my best. Right from the beginning, I knew she was the one. She was so caring, calming, organized, and just a genuinely happy person. She made me feel even more excited for my wedding. She was so helpful throughout the entire process right down to the big day. AND THE PICTURES - OH MY GOD. They are absolutely breathtaking and she definitely tells the story of your day in the most perfect way. She captures every precious moment while having a smile on her face the whole time she’s with you. I can’t say enough amazing things about her. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to have the BEST photographer for any occasion. We had such an amazing experience with Gabriella and we can’t thank her enough!”

"WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE HOW PERFECT SHE WAS"

- Aaron & lydia

Gabriella is the BEST photographer and we could not have asked for anyone better to capture our proposal! I had intentions of interviewing multiple photographers, but after seeing her work and talking to her over the phone, I immediately booked with her. Her passion for photography is so evident. She goes above and beyond to make your shoot about YOU. She does a great job of taking control and guiding you with poses that you will love, and her candid shots are unbelievable. She had a smile on her face the entire time and we felt like a close friend was there doing this for us. Would recommend her 100 times out of 100!

Gabriella was absolutely amazing. She made the photography session so easy and effortless. Her personality is so warm and inviting, she made us feel so so comfortable during these pictures. Gabriella went above and beyond for us and I’m so grateful my significant other found her as a photographer. I would highly recommend!

"SHE GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND"

- Alex & mike

Gabriella is not only an amazing photographer, but she is an amazing person! She was incredible to work with and made everything from our engagement photos to our wedding day extremely easy. She really understands your vibe and does everything she can to help make that come true! My husband is extremely camera shy, but he was so comfortable with her and the photos were amazing!

"SHE IS AN AMAZING PERSON"

- kevin & riya

Gabriella is the BEST photographer and needless to say she went above and beyond our expectations! She was hired by my fiancé for our surprise proposal and she did a phenomenal job at capturing every single detail of it. She made our lives easy by understanding us, our personality, the way we wanted to be captured and she did just that! From showing us every beautiful inch of Longwood gardens to telling us about different poses to capturing the beauty and essence of nature! She made my dream come true with these beautiful pictures. We spent 2 hrs with her and there was sign of rush of ending the session and it was more like whatever we felt in the moment which is what I truly enjoyed. She sent us our sneak peak pictures the day off just several hours later and needless to say not only did our jaws dropped but every single person who viewed those pics while asking who the photographer was! We proudly share her information with every member of our family and friends because she truly deserves the best❤️ Thank you Gabriella for capturing the most beautiful and intimate moments of ours and We can’t wait to work with you again!

"SHE MADE MY DREAM COME TRUE"

Gabriella captured our special moments perfectly! She photographed our proposal, Holud night before the wedding, and wedding day. She was very easy to work with and always communicative and responsive. She was able to handle a 300 person wedding with ease and always got the shot. I've only seen the sneak peek from our wedding weekend but I am already in love with the pictures. She truly captured the joy and happiness of the weekend through her photos, which I will treasure forever. She is also just a genuinely kind person, which makes working with her even better :) Highly recommend.
