When people I already know hire to to capture their wedding for them, my little photo heart grow 10x in size. I’m not kidding. Would I love to be a guest sometimes? Yes! and I am. So that’s besides the point. When I can integrate into your wedding day and peep all the beautiful things before everyone and most importantly…
Read MoreEngagement sessions are THE BEST! I love finally being able to interact with couples on a one on one level where I’m not talking business or trying to feel them out based on their wedding day. Hailey and Ian were so amazing to photograph I’m a little jealous of my associate shooter that will be photographing their wedding…
Read MoreI cannot say enough good things about these two. I first met Elle at a Tyler Gardens Event through her cousin Larissa. Larissa, HBIC of LaRue Events, was the planner for this wedding day as well! If you’re looking for a planned who isn’t just going to feed you blush and white, she is your girl. Anyway! So Larissa told me she had…
Read MoreSo what happens if you or your spouse is active duty and you aren’t stationed near where you’re getting married? You can’t meet you photographer before your wedding day. You can get to know each other at your engagement session. You have to try to be yourself around a complete stranger. What happens? How do you…
Read MoreAnyone who wants to bring me to the city in the spring, please please please understand it will always be a “Hell Yes!” for my answer. Watching the city come back alive with people is second to Philly on a Sunday which is only second to New Years Day in the city. If you didn’t follow all that - basically what I’m saying is I…
Read MoreRaise your hand if you were outside on Saturday? Keep your hand up if you were wearing a suit. Keep it up if you kept your jacket on for 90% of the day even though it was hot AF. Doug - I have to assume you’re the only hand left standing so hats off to you my guy! …
Read MoreIf you don’t know these two personally, you are seriously missing out on life. I cannot express how much enjoyment I got from this session and it honestly wasn’t great working conditions. It ended up being colder than expected, I had just come from a funeral, and the wind was relentless! Looking back at all the goodness that we captured though I literally don’t see that in any shot. I’m obsessed with every single one of these…
Read MorePHILLY!!! Ugh, such a special place you hold in my heart. If you haven’t been clued into it yet, I love the city. Especially on a Sunday! I don’t know what it is but the vibes that the city puts out on a Sunday are like no others. Weekdays are a very close second for my favorite. It’s like the people that are there at these times belong there. They know the space. The visitors have all gone home to get their own lives together. SIPS…
Read MoreI was walking today with a friend and she was talking with me about just the general changes she’s seen in my style over the years, and growth in general and she straight up asked me, “how did this shift happen?”. My first thought a year ago if some one were to ask me that would be fuck, that’s a loaded question. Today, not so much; the answer came easy. Manifestation and Output. I started just believing I was living in the career I…
Read MoreI can’t even just say my inner child is screaming for this wedding because we all know that my inner child has very much morphed into an outer child and still screams when she wants to. And you guys, I am SCREAMING for how much Nicole and Zach were living their best life on their wedding day! While the Bird Flu may have pushed the eagles to a new location and the rain pushed the ceremony to a new location, that doesn’t even…
Read MoreThis is what' it’s about. This is the reason I shoot weddings. Normally I start my blogs with a little blurb bit about me, but not this time. I have never felt so much energy as I did this past Saturday with Uju and Merwyn. Everything was EVERYTHING. The style. The beauty. The culture. The smiles. The love. The speeches. You…
Read MoreIf someone could explain to me how I’m supposed to sum up a wonderful day into a few lines, that would be great. I know I have attempted a few times so far, but like, after the break and downtime it just doesn’t feel like enough. The need to shout from the rooftops of how much I love my job is ever-present in my life. Be still my…
Read MoreBe still my heart. What a way to end the 2021 season. All on November and December I’m reading about all of my photographer friends being slowing down and getting to enjoy the end of the year and I’m not going to lie - part of me was envious. But the other half of me knew the greatness that was coming my way to wrap up the season. Colleen and Tom are amazing people individually and such a blast when they are blended together…
Read MoreA little wedding history lesson for you. In 2018 I was still growing and learning. In 2019 I swear to you it rained every single wedding I had. In 2020… well we all know what happened there. And now 2021 has either been the hottest day - or a rain mixture. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good over cast sky, but a note to Mother Nature: Can I please have a dry ground every once in a while? Bless the beautiful brides who still let me do my…
Read MoreWhat better way is there to start off the New Year than attempting to actually reach one of your goals? Personal Life goals: Be more present with family. Take better care of my mind and body. Business goals: Blog shit! Keep up with my site and invest in myself. With daycare being closed until Tuesday I am 100% getting so much more baby time than before so check…
Read MoreIf you told me I had to photograph nothing but Amanda and Max for an entire month straight, I’m 100% sure I would have no issues with that. Especially if their puppy babies were along for the ride too. I am not kidding when I tell you on their wedding day we devoted a solid chunk of time to portraits prior to their wedding so we…
Read MoreIn honor of these two baddies completing the 75 Hard Challenge, I bring you a blog about them. I feel like a crazy person for the amount of times I’ve liked, commented, sent claps, fires, hearts, and everything else to show support through social media. But every time Katie posted something I can’t help myself! The amount and drive and determination and grit and strength and mental capacity it takes to complete something like…
Read MoreCan we just talk about how hard it was for me to pick and choose which images I wanted to use for this blog? I have so much goodness from Cathleen and Dave’s wedding day that it hurts! I just want to share it all! It’s so nice walking into a wedding and seeing faces that I know! I live for it…
Read MoreOkay - who is bringing me back to General Warren in next year? Not for nothing, I’ve been at this venue 3 times and each time has been to capture some of the most sweetest and endearing weddings. Don’t get me wrong, we all know how i feel about banger weddings, but it’s also nice to just slow down and celebrate with a …
