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!).

Melisa + Tim [Downtown Lancaster Winter Wedding]

Although Tim and Melisa attended Temple University simultaneously, it was a Tinder date (a decade later!) that caused them to officially meet.

These two are amazing together, striving to make a positive impact on the community of Lancaster. They accomplish this through Melissa’s motivation in the non-profit world and Tim’s innovative orthodontic skills.

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 [Ash Mill Farm Wedding]

As Ryan and Allie twirled on the dance floor to Thomas Rhett’s song, “Die a Happy Man,” they were lost in the moment. Their choreographed first dance was impressive!! All of their efforts at their dance lessons paid off! Friends and family watched from the edge of the dance floor, full of love for this amazing couple.

Jess + Jim [Wedding]

Jim and Jess's first date involved Trader Joe's, coffee, and rapping to 90's rap...when they told me this, I knew we'd get along well. They're a blast. And they light up when they're around each other, as is evident in these photos.

Maggie + Eddie [Booking House Wedding]

It’s rare to meet your future spouse at age 7! But Maggie + Eddie did! Eddie was on a baseball team with Maggie’s brother. She was the bat girl, and her dad was the coach...

Kristen + Gary [Four Seasons Baltimore Wedding]

Every aspect of Kristen + Gary’s Baltimore wedding was spectacular. In an elegant room overlooking the scenic inner harbor, they exchanged vows as Kristen’s dad officiated the ceremony. At various moments of the day, people laughed until they cried; these two bring out the best in people!

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...

Maci + Michael [Lancaster Wedding]

An outdoor November wedding in PA? Yep, and it was beautiful! Maci + Michael lucked out with a mild, sunny day which is practically unheard of in November! All the details came together perfectly: guests were welcomed with hot cocoa and blankets, the couple’s puppy walked down the aisle, and the bride + groom looked like they were straight out of a magazine (I’m still swooning over their color palette of maroon, navy, and neutrals!)
