After seeing us in action at their good friends’ wedding, Ron & Natasha were excited to book us for theirs! Ron was a groomsman in his buddy’s wedding, but this time around, he was the main focus of our cameras for this engagement shoot…him and his beautiful bride-to-be ;) Seven years together and you can still see that twinkle in their eyes for each other!
Read MoreThis engagement shoot had a special touch to it, as we photographed a couple we loved working with nearly 10 years ago, in the same location (the trails & bridges of Cook Forest), with the SAME prop (a fun & flirty red heart umbrella!) We shared so much laughter and joy with Kurt & Kristen during this shoot =) Here Sam & I are, 17 years in, still loving what we get to do and WHO we get to do it with!
Read MoreWe are always up for traveling & exploring a new location for our engagement shoots! For their session, Sean & LeeAnn brought us out to the covered bridge where he proposed! The fresh fallen snow made for a gorgeous backdrop by the bridge. And the streets of the adorable little town of Ellicottville were perfect for a stroll hand-in-hand!
Read MoreFor our first photo shoot of 2023, we got to enjoy a sunny (and windy) Winter day capturing the love & laughter between Darrin & Brittany. A little fancy in an elegant dress down on the docks (still rocking the boots!), then they relaxed with a fun & flirty snowball fight, and ended by busting out the guitar for some sweet serenading shots <3 When we were planning their shoot, Brittany said: “Sometimes Darrin plays his guitar for me and I fall in love with him all over again!“, so I knew their photo shoot needed its own guitar solo ;)
Read MoreNo those skies are not photoshopped, that’s just how gorgeous the sunsets get in Western PA! It was a beautiful night for Mike + Gina’s engagement shoot as they cuddled up at one of their favorite date spots!
Read MoreWith sun shining and the bitter cold, these two made the most of their Winter engagement shoot before they move down to sunny & warm Florida this month…JEALOUS! ;)
Read MoreFor our last photo shoot of 2021, we were able to fit these two high school sweethearts into our holiday schedule. It was a very chilly December afternoon, but the sun was shining bright and it left a gorgeous glow on Grant & Gabby for their engagement shoot!
Read MoreIt’s always fun to explore new areas for engagement shoots (especially gorgeous ones like Point State Park), but it’s even more fun to hang out with and capture photos of FUN hike-trailing, book-loving couples like Zac + Leah! (Fun Fact, if you spot it, Zac proposed in Kane!) We have different themes to our sessions and one of them is called “Goofy + Giggly”…check out the last photos below, NAILED IT! hahaha
Read MoreSam & I love exploring new locations with our couples, it’s so inspiring for us and what we see through our lens…golden hour in a field, a sunset peeking through the trees, and an evening stroll creekside! We ALSO love brainstorming prop ideas with our couples to add that personal touch to the session. Sarah brought red roses, just like Andrew did on their first date! Plus the leather album that Andrew gave on her birthday that he used for a surprise proposal <3 So romantic!
Read MoreWhen you hear that the couple you are photographing next got engaged on the beach, exciting plans for a Sunset session go under way! And what a dreamy session it was!!
Read MoreSometimes a photo shoot is well worth the wait! For Dustin & Elizabeth’s session, we not only had to reschedule due to quarantine, but also because all the barber shops were closed and Dustin, understandably, didn’t want the hair of a hippy for photos ;) But what did all that rescheduling mean? These gorgeous flower bushes were in full bloom for our shoot! Along with a beautiful Spring day, complete with sunshine, blue skies, and white fluffy clouds. All the stunning scenery these two were hoping for!
Read MoreWe love exploring new locations, especially when a waterfall is involved! Brenden & Mackenzie have a natural warmth & glow in their smiles & love for each other =) We loved capturing the laughter, snuggles, and kisses during their engagement session!
Read MoreWe love exploring new locations and for this session, Tyler & Ann brought us down to their neck of the woods. To actually the exact spot that Tyler proposed! And we had their fur babies come out to play too for a bit of the session!! These two are so sweet and so in love and we can’t wait to capture all the feels next year on their wedding day!
Read MoreYesterday's Engagement Session with Brandon & Kristin was beyond gorgeous, and I don't just mean the blue skies! These two are so in love and SO FUN, we can't wait for next June to get here!!
Read MoreWell these two are just the sweetest =) You'd swear they were from the South with their charming demeanor ;) I mean within days of their Session, Sam & I received a crafted, handwritten thank you note from April sharing how much she loved their photos!...
"Rachel & Sam,
Todd and I can't thank you enough for our engagement photos! You guys made it such a fun day and the photos are absolutely stunning. Now we really can't wait for the big day! We wouldn't want anyone else to capture these memories.
Thanks again! ~ April & Todd"
