Katie + Matt [Maryland Engagement]

This blog post is extra special to share with the universe, because Katie is one of my very dearest friends.

In 2013, I photographed a wedding where Katie was a bridesmaid. We had mutual friends, and I remember being drawn to her spunky personality. We stayed in touch, and the first time we actually hung out was a 10-day trek around Oregon and Washington!

Matt + Steph [Middle Creek Engagement]

Matt and Steph met on e-harmony, and they instantly clicked! I had such fun watching them joke with each other and have a blast frolicking around Middle Creek. When they’re not working, they love following Philadelphia sports, sipping coffee, and sharing a strong faith.

Gray + Bethany [Conestoga House Engagement]

Two years ago, Bethany's sister adopted several children. At the adoption party, Bethany and Gray were introduced to each other. Their friendship blossomed into love, and Gray proposed by writing a song on the piano. Bethany will be walking down the aisle to it! I'm a fan of couples weaving special touches into their wedding day.

Valerie + Jimmy [Conestoga House Engagement]

Strolling the lavish gardens of the Conestoga House was so much fun with this stunning couple! We laughed our way through the entire session.

Valerie & Jimmy reside in Boston, the city where they met when attending the same college. A mutual friend’s birthday party brought them together, and their relationship endured long distance while Valerie studied abroad in Greece.

Patrick & Katelyn [Hunting Hill Mansion, Ridley Creek]

Rain was forecasted for Patrick and Katelyn's engagement session, but they embraced it! I'm a fan of rainy-day vibes, and I keep two clear umbrellas in my SUV for this exact occasion. I’m thankful for adventurous clients!

Ella + Jeremy [Perth, Australia]

Photographing this stellar couple in Perth, Australia seemed surreal. The moment I met Jeremy and Ella, we all felt like friends; we rounded out the evening with Thai food and lots of laughter.

Anna + Nick [Bamboo Forest Engagement]

Anna and Nick live in Manhattan and are planning a super fun wedding at Reading Terminal Market (in Philly) this fall!

After falling in love at college, they moved to the Big Apple and enjoy going on self-guided walking tours around NYC, cooking together, and traveling around the globe (including riding elephants in Thailand, where some of Anna’s family lives!).

Paul + Tricia [Gettysburg Engagement]

As we strolled through a beautiful area of Gettysburg, they told me about the proposal. Paul did an excellent job planning a special evening while Tricia was visiting him in Chicago this summer. He popped the question in Lincoln Park, and then they celebrated with dinner and a Billy Joel concert!!
