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.

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!!

Lauren + Christian [Autumn Engagement]

Lauren and Christian met at a mutual friend’s wedding, and now they’re planning their own for 2018! These two are beyond delightful to be around; good luck trying NOT to smile as you peruse these pictures (and what a cute pup!!)

Allie + Ryan [Old City Philadelphia Engagement Session]

With the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame in the distance, Ryan proposed to Allie in Paris! Can it get more romantic?? While enjoying a picnic by the Seine River, Ryan realized it was the right time to ask her to spend the rest of their lives together.

Drumore Estate [European Garden Wedding Inspiration]

Ok I admit it, Paris wasn’t on my list of places to explore…until I recently had a layover there on my way home from visiting Morocco. I mustered up the courage to leave the Paris airport at 9pm, just my 50 lb camera backpack and me…no working cell phone, two phrases of French knowledge, and just enough Euros to pay the taxi driver...

Grace + Ian [Conestoga House European Engagement]

It’s evident these two have something special. Their love story began in 2008 when they were in the same place at the same time. They were attending Temple University, and they went to the movies one evening with separate groups of friends but happened to briefly chat. Afterwards, Grace sent their mutual friend a text saying that Ian was cute! And Ian happened to tell the friend the same thing about Grace.
