Jamie & Keenan – Little Buffalo State Park Wedding

Bysmjphotography November 4, 2017August 3, 2020

Jamie and Keenan tied the knot on a gorgeous (yet chilly) November day that was filled with laughter, smiles, and plenty of tears. I always stress to my couples to really wear their hearts on their sleeves for the day and be emotionally invested in every part of the day. Jamie and Keenan took that advice to heart and it really paid off with tons of incredible heart wrenching moments throughout the day. The reception contained fire breathing, a giant bonfire, and a rain storm that almost took the tent everyone was celebrating in. What a day!

Alex & Adam – The Farm at Eagles Ridge Wedding

Bysmjphotography October 21, 2017August 4, 2020

Alex and Adam’s wedding day at The Farm at Eagles Ridge in Lancaster, Pennsylvania was one for the ages. Alex and Adam live near New York City (but just recently moved to the Carolinas) and wanted to tie the knot at a venue that was totally unique. I’m so glad they made the trip because their wedding day will forever go down as one of my favorites. The entire day was filled with laughter, tears (lots of them), and just plain old good times.

Steph and Jeff’s wedding day was completely overcast but that didn’t stop them from having the best day of their lives! Harvest View Barn served as the perfect backdrop for their fun filled day. To date, their reception was the absolute craziest that I’ve ever seen so be sure to check out just how wild this crowd got! Congrats Steph and Jeff!

Julia & Peter – Stocks Manor Wedding

Bysmjphotography October 7, 2017August 4, 2020

Julia and Peter are two of the most incredible human beings I’ve ever met. Seriously. The compassion they have for each other and others and their attitude towards life is so positive and comforting. Their family and friends wore their hearts on their sleeves and it made for some absolutely heart warming moments. Stocks Manor provided a beautiful backdrop for the reception and photographs. A huge thanks to Julia and Peter for trusting us to capture their special day!

Historic Shady Lane Wedding – Alyssa & Zach

Bysmjphotography October 1, 2017January 15, 2024

Alyssa and Zach’s wedding was at the end of a crazy busy weekend (engagement on Friday and another wedding on Saturday) and I couldn’t imagine it ending any better! The weather continued to stay beautiful and History Shady Lane in the fall just can’t be beat in beauty during that time of the year. I truly loved how connected both of their families were and how much emotion there was throughout the day. As you can see, there were a lot of tears but they were for all of the right reasons. The party was wild and the sparkler send off at the end was perfect. Congrats Alyssa and Zach!

Grandview Vineyard Wedding – Laura & Dex

Laura and Dex’s wedding day was one for the record books! We had beautiful weather (with some stormy clouds at times) and we were surrounded with a super fun crew. The day took place at the stunning Grandview Vineyard in Mount Joy which provided the perfect backdrop for these wine and beer lovers! Laura and Dex wore their hearts on their sleeves throughout the day which made for some incredibly touching moments. Once the reception hit, everyone put on their party hats and let loose on the dance floor. Laura and Dex capped off their spectacular day with a glow stick exit that was full of color!

Carrie & Charlie – Lancaster Wedding

Carrie and Charlie were married at Carrie’s parents’ farm on a beautiful (yet hot) fall day. The farm had been beautifully transformed by Stray Productions into a venue that any bride and groom would envy. The day was full of dogs, adorable children, and lots of love and laughter. We capped the night off with an incredible sparkler send off so be sure to scroll all the way to the end to check that out!

The Star Barn | WEDDINGS

Dixie & Luke – The Star Barn at Ironstone Ranch

Bysmjphotography September 9, 2017August 4, 2020

Dixie and Luke’s wedding day was special for so many reasons. One of those reasons being that it was the first wedding at the brand new Star Barn at Ironstone Ranch. Ironstone Ranch is known for being one of the premier wedding venues in the south central Pennsylvania area and they certainly didn’t disappoint with The Star Barn. The weather was perfect. The people were amazing. The scenery was epic. It was everything that I hope a wedding will be and I was honored that Dixie and Luke trusted me to capture their special day!

ENGAGEMENTS

Jamie & Keenan – Little Buffalo State Park Engagement

Bysmjphotography July 4, 2017January 10, 2021

Waking up at 4 AM and driving over an hour isn’t something that most people would be willing to do for sunrise pictures. However, Jamie is a photographer as well and thankfully convinced Keenan to do it. We were blessed with the most amazing sunrise that I’ve ever seen and we made the most of it while it lasted. The natural chemistry between these two certainly didn’t hurt either. Nothing but smiles, laughs, and joking around throughout the entire morning. Stay tuned for more from these two when they get married in November!

Excelsior | WEDDINGS

Liz & Steve – Excelsior Wedding

Bysmjphotography July 1, 2017August 4, 2020

Liz and Steve came to me through the recommendation of one of my former couples and I couldn’t be more thankful because they were so much fun to work with. I went to their home in Brooklyn to capture their engagement session and then they came down to Lancaster to officially tie the know at the always incredible and never duplicated Excelsior. We had such a wonderful day full of laughter and tears (best first look of 2017?!). Congrats Liz and Steve!
