Yesterday was one of those gorgeous weather days that every Fall bride hopes for, blue skies & fluffy clouds all day long and a stunning sunset to cap it all off! For Sean, LeeAnn, and their wedding guests though, it was all about the party on the dance floor. The koozie favors pretty much summed it up, “We said the I Do’s, now it’s time for the booze”!
Read MoreSam & I met Lindsay 10 years ago when she was a bridesmaid at her dear friend, Abby’s, wedding. When she got engaged last year, she reached out less than two weeks later (before even booking her venue or confirming her date) to make sure we could capture her day just like her best friends. What an honor to be asked and what an opportunity to capture stunning photos of a gorgeous bride! We are so glad we got to be a special part of your day <3
Read MoreWhat a gorgeous, not too hot, Summer day for this June wedding! These two high school sweethearts looked so stunning for their big day, but the love the groom had for his bride stole the show! Tears and emotions throughout the vows and beaming smiles all day long.
Read MoreWho would ever expect a warm & rainy day (we’re talking 60 degrees warm!) on a mid-December day?! The weather certainly didn’t cooperate for Eric & Erin’s wedding, but it didn’t matter because these two are just hopelessly in love with each other and it showed all throughout the day! We captured so many laughs and loving looks from Erin to her groom yesterday, it made my heart so happy to end our 2021 wedding season with these two holiday lovebirds!
Read MoreOctober 2nd and such a beautiful Fall day with sunshine, blue skies, and 70 degree weather! The only thing sweeter at a wedding is the love a couple shares with their family, friends, and each other throughout the day. Making sweet family memories together at these kind of events is truly priceless, not to be taken for granted, and an absolute blessing to be able to capture for our couples. The meaning behind some of these reception photos taken yesterday is something Sam & I will never forget <3
Read MoreWOW, you really couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day for a September wedding! Warm weather, and gorgeous blue skies, I love capturing these stunning scenery shots for our couples, so they can remember how blessed their day was <3 I also love capturing so many unique details that our brides put into their weddings. including Julia’s “hidden Mickeys” sprinkled throughout the day…a Disney girl after my own heart!
Read MoreMore than once this weekend, I heard “Go big or go home!” and that was Travis + Molly’s wedding to a T. Travis is in the lighting business and Molly loves planning events, so their two-day celebration was a photographer’s dream! Friday evening they had a private ceremony with colored uplighting and romantic twinkle lights strung the whole way round the guests’ seats. And on Saturday, they invited all their friends & family to party at an outdoor concert with food trucks, live bands, sparklers, and fireworks…like I said, “Go big or go home!” ;)
Read MoreZac + Leah are such a sweet, fun-loving couple and their wedding matched perfectly! The ceremony had SWEET touches, like a Tree Watering moment. And the reception was filled with FUN as their family & friends crowded the dance floor and our photo station all night long!
Read MoreWe were excited about the thought of a vineyard wedding, but just WOW, this venue blew our expectations out of the water! Lauren told me yesterday, when they toured Starr Hill Winery and saw the scenic views from the ceremony space, they were sold and I 100% agree!! And those SUNSETS…just look for yourself!!!
Read MoreToday, Tyler & Johanna celebrate their 1st wedding anniversary! This weekend, last year, they had a beautifully intimate ceremony with their closest family & friends. And yesterday, they celebrated a year of marriage with their official wedding reception! It was so special to relive & remember so many moments from Part 1 last year, including a reception replay of the highlight video we created for them last year! This year, there were unique touches, like Tyler helping Johanna get dressed this time around and the bridal party finally getting the chance to toast Tyler & Johanna’s marriage! But really, yesterday was all about having FUN at the reception, packing the dance floor and Photo Station all…night…long!!! Such a fun way to celebrate your 1st Anniversary!
Read MoreWOW, there are just some weddings that, as a guest, you won’t forget…and I have a feeling, Mike + Joanna’s will be one of them! There’s not much more you could have packed into their Reception, when it came to memorable moments: a classic hits song medley, including the bride’s namesake “Joanna”, for the Father Daughter dance…a kid’s dance-off contest…a live Polka band with the always fun Polish Dollar Dance (that’s the one where the groom has to fight his way through all the guests circled around the bride)…a special Sinatra celebrity impersonator appearance…and a surprise polka performance by the bride’s mom and aunts as a tribute to her Grandfather <3 The energy was electrifying and so were the groom’s and his brother’s suits they changed into for the Reception…I guess that’s what happens when your father-in-law owns the local Tux Shop! ;)
Read MoreCameron and Taylor’s day finally arrived, after a reschedule due to the pandemic. 2020 proved to be a tough year for them, as they lost multiple loved ones who would have loved to been in attendance yesterday. A filled memorial table, a special song played during the toasts that brought tears to the guests’ eyes (mine included!) and such a sweet substitute of the best man, with his father stepping in to fill the role of his son who passed away last year <3
Read MoreStephen & Courtney chose a stunning venue to have their intimate wedding ceremony yesterday!.The mansion had gorgeous places both inside and out for photos, even including a heart-shape garden! Of course we had to make that shot happen, even if it was from a second story window ;)
Read MoreHow fitting that, this Father’s Day weekend, we shot a wedding where the Dad was the source of so many sweet, emotional moments <3 After seeing the way Gina and her father laughed, cried, and embraced all throughout the wedding day, it’s no wonder that Gina does the same with her new husband. Such a good reminder that the love from a girl’s daddy will be carried throughout her life!
Read MoreJust over 3 months ago, I received a text from my bride, Sarah, who had just found out her reception venue cancelled their wedding due to the pandemic’s capacity restrictions. In her words, she was distraught and asking for any help I could provide on possible replacement venues. Within minutes, I sent her a list of local venues we have shot at, with the link to a page on our website that features day-after blog posts for each of those venues! (So helpful to be able to see how all the formal events and open dancing of an actual wedding look like in the space.)
Needless to say, Sarah was grateful for the support and the next day they secured their new venue, Luigi’s Villa. And now, the day after Andrew & Sarah’s wedding, I look at these photos and think they honestly couldn’t have ended up with a more perfect reception venue…besides the fact that the location was perfect (on the same street as the church), it also had a gorgeous chandelier, drapery, and lighting that perfectly matched the romantic ambiance Sarah envisioned for her special day. It all worked out in the end and these two love birds had a PERFECT sunshine and blue skies day!!
Read MoreHow do you go from freezing cold, snowy weather one weekend to sunny, warm & gorgeous blue skies the next? Live in western PA, haha!

Read More2020 was quite the year for our bride & grooms! As if planning a wedding during a pandemic wasn’t enough, how about being thrown a new restrictions curve ball two days before your event?! Corey and Rachel had an emotional rollercoaster during their journey to the aisle, but they ended up with gorgeous weather and a cozy, intimate gathering with a select few family & friends.
Read MoreNathan and Alexis had gorgeous weather like our other October weddings this year, but their day was unique to them in so many special ways. Butterflies cascading in Alexis’ hair, rose gold and floral rings, lanterns for the bridesmaids instead of bouquets, a 33 year old cake knife and serving set from the parents of the bride’s wedding, and so much more!
Read MoreAs if being thrown the curve ball of COVID during wedding planning wasn’t enough, Brenden and Mackenzie also found out they would be bringing a beautiful baby boy into the world, just one month before their big day…that actually made for TWO big days! But Kenzie is one sweet and strong momma…determined to marry the man that she loves and make their wedding happen as planned. They could not have asked for a better Fall day, sunshine and 70 degree weather! But even though the sun was shining bright, Kenzie stole the show as new momma and stunning bride, she truly was glowing <3
Read MoreSometimes things don’t go as planned, but they can be all the more special when they don't…not to mention, utterly romantic and memorable. Freddy & Diane had a few changes along the way when it came to the venue and guest count for their wedding day.
