Jordan and Julie

Okay, I had two other weddings before this one but I’m finally finding the tie to blog something so Hello 2024 x3! It’s no surprise that I love Philly - I don’t know why, I just do. And Philly in the spring time is chef’s kiss. When Julie and Jordan reached out to me I felt like I was going to enjoy being around them, but like HOT…

Nick and Mackenzie

Every wedding photographer under the sun will be able to admit to you that there is always a wedding they are looking forward to in their season. I’m lucky enough that I had multiple of them in my 2023 and Nick and Mackenzie were 1,000% one of them. From our initial connection I was getting such good energy from these…

Tips for your Engagement Session

Engagement sessions can be stressful. Trust me, I get it. I am humbled every time I have my own picture taken and the lingering feeling of the “professional photography” stigma is not lost on me. Remember in school where you would just sit in a chair and tilt your head a little to the left? Or when your Mom would want…

Rebecca and Andrew

One word to sum up this while day - Mummers. If you know me, you know my unhealthy obsession with getting my ass up every New Years day to see the Mummers in Philly. Bringing Philly to the Lancaster area to get a party started? The only thing missing was a parade down Two street following a Uhaul filled with cases…

Kerri & Joe

Can we just talk about what might have been the biggest upset of my 2023 season? And I only have myself to blame. Story time - Kerri reached out to me in the height of busy season last year. Anything from September to November is just incredibly busy for me and to top it off, I also traveled for a week amidst it all. So here I am, trying to keep my business afloat and not fall behind on emails and really just keeping my head above the…

Meredith and Tim

Meredith and Tim came so close to not having a rainy wedding day, but unless I get sunset pictures in, it still counts as a rainy day. Needless to say this is one of my more sun soaked weddings of the season and I was LIVING! These two celebrated at the beautiful and lush Historic Ashland. This was my first time visiting this…

Skye and Matt

Matt and Skye are two of the dopest people I have had the honor to call my couple. I knew when I first met them that I was going to fall in love. Honestly they reminded me of all my friends growing up in high school and for me, it was an instant bond. These two rock climbing lovers skipped past the ballroom, estate vibes…

Christine and Matt

Christine and Matt were blessed with one of my few sunny wedding days of the 2023 season and they took full advantage of it. The humidity was no joke for them but it doesn’t even matter! From the stunning florals to the tiny hands, everything about this day was as much fun as it was beautiful…

Melissa and Brooks

Melissa and Brooks shared one of those days I can only dream about. Would a bit less heat be helpful? Maybe, but who’s to say? I would relive this wedding day 100 times. And I need the number to the rain god that Melissa prays to all week because the timing of the quick monsoon could not have been more…

Kailin and Ryan

Kailin and Ryan were such a dream to photograph at their engagement session that I was literally counting down the days until their wedding. And through all the ups and downs of the day they still both managed to look like absolute perfection and it’s been an honest mystery to me. Shout out to Ariel Katrina and her hair…

Katie and Jerry

I seriously don’t even know where to begin with Katie and Jerry. Hello fairy tale wedding. And I mean the go big or go home type of fairytale. From Katie’s dress and crown and insanely amazing veil to the chandelier table decors beautiful put together by Belovely Co. There was no detail that was overlooked by these two and the way everything came together seamlessly is just beyond me. Could we have done with out the wind?…

Can we just take am minute to talk about the Garden Party Wedding of my dreams? Olivia, being a florist herself, had a very clear vision when she reached out to me. Our initial chat was littered with the words color and florals and I was eating it up! And ya’ll she left no crumbs on the vision. I’m obsessed with how everything…

Hanna and Steve

To say my couples this year so far have been nothing short of the actual shit would be doing a huge disservice to how amazing these people really are. Hanna and Steve HAPPILY belong on that list. Since their engagement session (roughly one million years ago - it feels) I have been looking forward to their wedding…

Heather and Andy

I’m going to be honest - I don’t like the rain anymore. I don’t like the clouds anymore. Give me the blasting beating hot sun. Please someone remind me of this feeling when I’m swearing off the sun in August. This is why I have to live in a state with seasons, they all have their quirks and I’m happy to adjust from one to the…

If you’ve been following along my 2023 Wedding Season Journey - you will see just copious amounts of rain. Like more rain than one state needs in a month. Ironically enough… only on the weekends!
