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.

Jena + Rob [Lititz Engagement]
“He makes the most ordinary things fun,” Jena smiled as she described her fiancé, Rob. On a seemingly “ordinary” road trip together to Maine, she realized this was her person. During their engagement session, it was evident how much fun they have together!

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.

Erin & Andrew [Spring Engagement]
Erin & Andrew met in a unique way: in college, they went on a double-date one evening...but not with each other! They were set up with other people that night. It was several months down the road that they ran into each other and struck up conversation. Clearly it was meant to be. They share a love for fitness, tacos, and the Pittsburgh penguins.
