Stephanie & Bobby – Codorus State Park Engagement

Stephanie & Bobby – Codorus State Park Engagement

Stephanie and Bobby were true champions for getting up crazy early on a Sunday morning and meeting up at Codorus State Park for their engagement session. The lost sleep was certainly worth it though as we were treated to one of the most amazing sunrises I’ve ever witnessed. While it was freezing out at first, it warmed up as we went along and ended up being quite nice actually. Stay tuned for more from their big day at the York Outdoor Country Club in June!

This engagement session started off when it was freezing (in the low 30’s) but it ended in the high 60’s. Talk about a bit of a difference in weather! Leigh Ann and Alex brought along their dogs which were so much fun to work with! I always enjoy it when my couples bring along their pets because they always make for great candid moments that you just can’t get otherwise. Stay tuned for more from these when they get married in April at The Patio!

Kim & Chip – Philadelphia Engagement

Working with family is always tricky due to the nature of photography and mixing personal and business. However, I felt very confident working with Kim, my cousin, and her fiance, Chip, because they valued my work for what it is. We woke up early for an epic Philly sunrise at Race Street Pier and then made our way back to their place for some photos with Stanley, their adorable dog. We ended the shoot by heading to the Italian Market where there were all kinds of interesting things going on.

Cara & Matt – Fells Point Engagement

I was in Baltimore for a wedding on Saturday so I decided to make the most of my trip and do two engagement sessions the day after a wedding. Exhausting? Completely! Worth it? Absolutely!

Cara and Matt were superstars for a very early and chilly sunrise session at Fells Point. It was my first time shooting in the area and I can now see why it’s so popular. The lighting was perfect throughout the entire session and these two were so much fun to work with. I had to stop and pinch myself a few times because things just worked perfectly with them and it felt so natural. Stay tuned for more from Cara and Matt when they get married at Excelsior next June!

Historic Shady Lane Engagement – Alyssa & Zach

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 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!
