My husband and I joke that every time we photograph at this venue, it rains, so we weren’t entirely surprised when Jake and Becca’s wedding day came with a decent amount of rain…
We kicked off this year’s weddings with Jaren and Kalie’s beautiful wedding at the Harvest View Barn at Hershey Farms. This wedding, probably more than any other so far, felt sort of like a fun, relaxing Lancaster County family reunion vibe. Well, that might be in large part because I found out at during the reception that I’m distantly related to the groom, like 2nd cousins once removed, I’m pretty sure…
Summer break is over! And there couldn’t have been a better way to kick off this fall wedding season than Kyle and Mary’s gorgeous wedding at The Barn at Silverstone…
I am convinced the answer to most of life’s mysteries are right under our noses, but more often than not, it takes what seems like thousands of miles of travel before we can see it…
Danny and Anna’s wedding at Historic Shady Lane was a particularly special one for us because Danny is one of my husband Matt’s good friends. So I’m going to change up this wedding blog post a little bit…
I met Zach and Megan when they were in the bridal party of one of our weddings this spring. Shortly after that wedding, Megan reached out to let me know that she and Zach had just gotten engaged…
For Cole and Kelly's wedding we traveled up to the Creekside Barn in Potter county (well, technically it was Tioga County, but basically a stone’s throw from Potter County). It was a bit of a drive, but the area was amazingly beautiful. The funny thing about this area is that it can have all four seasons within a few hours…
Some unions surpass all barriers, borders, and obstacles…Some even surpass time. This union is one of those…
There are seasons to life. Seasons to work, and seasons to play. Seasons to laugh, and seasons to cry. We had the pleasure of shooting Alex and Jackie’s engagement pictures and their wedding photos in the same location in two drastically different seasons…
Ben and Emily were referred to us by a fellow photographer friend, and as soon as we started chatting I could tell they were going to be a great couple to work with…
It’s no secret that I love coffee. We have some friends who own a local roastery, so I’ve had conversations about how coffee is made, instead of just “how is coffee so good.” Did you know that coffee beans start out as a fruit on a tree, called a cherry?…
The calm in the storm.
What can I possibly say about these two… they’re wonderful. Even when things are going poorly, they are just wonderful. Can you imagine trying to get in touch with over a hundred people and half a dozen companies to coordinate a time that works for almost all of them and organize an event with only a couple days notice? No? Neither can I. Imagine doing that while…
If you’ve followed my blog for more than a few months you might recognize these two from an earlier post this past Spring which featured Zac’s proposal to Jessie in Lititz Springs Park. We captured the whole thing and it was awesome! And before we even left the park that day, they told us they wanted us to photograph their wedding and engagement pictures…
It was so hard to narrow down my favorites from this wedding to share on the blog, but here is a little snapshot of Kevin and Adrienne’s wonderful day. Their wedding took place at the Springside Barn in East Earl, one of my favorite wedding venues for obvious reasons, I mean it’s just gorgeous!…
For those of you who don’t know, Daryl and Julie are the life of the party. Not just “the” party, probably “any” party. So when Daryl proposed to Julie, he planned out a couple waypoints in a Geocache hiking treasure hunt for the two of them and two of their friends to go on. The plan was spectacular…
The piano man and the rennaisance girl.
When we hear the bride and groom are making some of the decorative details for the wedding we get curious how it’s going to turn out. It’s usually something like, “we made the table centerpieces,”…
If you know me at all, you probably know my love for The Office. One of my favorite parts has always been the Jim and Pam office romance. But do office romances ever actually work in real life?…
It’s not uncommon for couples to show up to their engagement session and feel a little nervous because they’re not used to being in front of the camera. However, that’s not at all the impression I got when I met Daryl and Julie for their engagement session at the Reading Public Museum. They were so relaxed and comfortable together, that I had to laugh when I heard Daryl lean over to Julie and say, “You’re having a lot more fun than I thought you would!”…
I was once told that everything is all about perspective. If you think it’s gonna be a nightmare, it usually ends up being one. If you think it’s going to be amazing, you’re in for a really fun time…
Sometimes when you meet someone, you just know. But other times, you FB stalk them, slide into their DM’s, and eventually end up on a first date filled with a lot of awkward silence and a broken chair. But you know, it all works out in the end…
When I first started chatting with Jackie and Alex about their wedding, they told me a little bit about their love story and how they met while in college, hung out in similar friend circles while in school, but didn’t end up dating until they reconnected at a picnic 9 years later…
We were really looking forward to Sage and Dom’s wedding at one of our favorite venues, The Mill at Manor Falls. In the morning, while I was busy photographing the beautiful bridal details like Sage’s stunning crocheted gown and the sweet little locket with pictures of her grandparents…
My children are 4 and 7, well, almost 8. Usually over the winter we will complete at least 1 large jigsaw puzzle. Every year I get to hear pure joy as they “found a match!” But there is one point in the jigsaw puzzle journey that I always look forward to with a little bit of trepidation…
Haley was the one of the lucky winners of my couple’s session giveaway earlier this year, and when I contacted her to congratulate her and chat about setting up her session, she told me that she and Dom had recently gotten engaged…
My sweet friend Lindsey sent me a message earlier this year asking if I would be available to photograph a special event for a few hours during a weekday in May. I assumed she meant she was looking for a photographer for a corporate event type thing…
A beachfront in Maui, whales jumping into the air as a group of tourists excitedly take pictures in the distance, hiking the remains of an erupted volcano. Nate drops to one knee, and asks a very special question of Carol…
People come and go in our lives all the time. Some acquaintances, some friends, some much more. But if we are lucky, at some time in our lives we meet one person that we immediately know we don’t want to let go of. Coming and going is no longer an option, no matter the distance, no matter what separates you, you will cling tenaciously to each other. Alex and Emily first met by passing notes back and forth during the only class they shared at Grove City College. Yes, just like that middle school relationship we all experienced…
There are a ton of movies where two people who are destined to be together, who are, in fact, perfect for each other, keep passing within inches and never meeting. Lucas and Anoosha probably should have met many times. After all, his friend was dating her friend. But, they never did. Their social circles had collided, but they had not. At least, not until both of them were invited to their friends’ wedding…
Let me start this wedding blog post by saying… Having been married for over a decade, I can confidently say, finding someone who, when you look in their eyes, it just makes your stress melt away, is so special. Anything that might be going wrong, random annoyances… completely disappear, and it’s such a good thing, no, an amazing thing…
