Historic Shady Lane Engagement – Alyssa & Zach

Bysmjphotography

As soon as I met Alyssa at our initial consultation, I knew that we were a good fit and we were both anxious to squeeze their engagement session in while the weather was still perfect. We really lucked out with the weather and Alyssa and Zach were a dream to work with. I always love when my clients give me complete creative freedom because it allows me to take a few risks that really pay off. Stay tuned for more from these two when they tie the knot in October 2017 at Historic Shady Lane in York!

Jessica & Brandon – Gifford Pinchot State Park Engagement

The weather was absolutely perfect and so were Jessica and Brandon. They’re too adorable (see proof below) and brought a ton of smiles, laughter, and love to their session. This was my first engagement session back since my surgery and it reminded me how much I love my job and how much I missed shooting engagements like this one. We did a little trespassing and got into some dangerous positions for the shots but it was totally worth it in the end. Stay tuned for more from these two next year when they get married at the Stone Mill Inn!

Liz & Steve – Prospect Park Engagement

Liz and Steve live in Brooklyn but are getting married at Excelsior (an amazing new venue in Lancaster) next year. They were kind enough to bring me up to Brooklyn so we could shoot their engagement session at the amazing Prospect Park. I was running on about three hours of sleep and had just worked a 16 hour wedding the day before but Liz and Steve were a blast to work with and kept the energy flowing throughout the shoot.

Kristi & Mike – Central Park Engagement

It’s not every day that you get to shoot an engagement session in Central Park. It’s basically a dream for a photographer that doesn’t get to frequent the area as much as they would like to. We had the most perfect weather and Kristi and Mike’s love for each other was as clear as the skies that day. This is a classic example of why it’s so important that your engagement session location is meaningful to you. Stay tuned for their wedding at the Cork Factory Hotel in less than two weeks!

Carolyn & Jon – Lancaster City Engagement

Carolyn & Jon – Lancaster City Engagement

Carolyn and Jon live in Lancaster so it was only fitting that they had their engagement session in the city. I love shooting engagement sessions in the city because it’s full of little nooks that you discover each time you shoot there. I also like to incorporate lots of flash during urban engagement shoots because it helps everything pop and become more dramatic. Stay tuned for more from Carolyn and Jon as they’ll be getting married at Prospect Valley Farm in Columbia in June!

Alicia & Winston – The Hotel Hershey Engagement

I was so excited when Alicia and Winston told me that they wanted to do their engagement session at The Hotel Hershey. I had heard so many great things about the grounds and they certainly didn’t disappoint. No matter where we went, there was another picture just begging to be taken. They’re getting married at the Colonial Country Club in September and I’m really looking forward to their big day!

Courtney & Michael – Carlisle Engagement

When I first met with Courtney and Michael to discuss their wedding photography, they asked how I felt about horses and if I had any experience working with horses. Ironically, I did as my aunt owned a horse for a few years and I did a few photo shoots for her. Courtney and Michael (and their families) are involved with the local library so we started off there and then went to the stables where they keep their horse. This one goes down as one of the most unique engagement sessions ever! Keep an eye out for their October wedding at Kennedy Family Farms.

Longs Park Engagement – Nastassia & Henry

I meet a lot of fun and carefree couples but I think Nastassia and Henry take the crown as the most fun loving couple I’ve shot to date. As a photographer, my goal is to get my couples to feel and look as natural as possible in their pictures. Nastassia and Henry couldn’t have made it any easier and they reminded me of just how much fun my job really is. We had a beautiful day at Longs Park in Lancaster and I can’t wait for their wedding next month at Historic Shady Lane in York!

Katie & Bam – Lancaster Olympian Engagement

Bysmjphotography

This was an engagement session for the record books. This is what happens when you mix two Olympian athletes/photographers/overall awesome people and one really stoked photographer and give them a few hours on an unseasonably warm Sunday afternoon in Lancaster. Katie plays on the USA Olympic Field Hockey team while Bam played for the South Africa Olympic Field Hockey team. They were such a pleasure to work with and I can’t wait for their wedding at The Booking House that’s just around the corner!
