Heather & Jon – Hotel Hershey Engagement

Heather & Jon – Hotel Hershey Engagement

The weather was absolutely perfect for an evening engagement session with Heather and Jon at The Hotel Hershey. The grounds of The Hotel Hershey are absolutely impeccable and really provide a great backdrop for any couple. Heather and Jon are big Eagles fans and came dressed to the nines in their gear. Little did we know that the Eagles were actually staying at the hotel that evening! Philadelphia Eagles President Don Smolenski actually made an appearance at the engagement session and it’s certainly something that we won’t forget anytime soon! Stay tuned for more from these two when they get married at the Phoenixville Country Club in October!

Kim & Chip – Fleisher Art Memorial Wedding

One of the golden rules for photographers is that you never work with your family or friends because if things go wrong, you don’t want it to damage your relationships forever. However, I knew that wouldn’t be an issue with Kim and Chip’s wedding due to their easygoing nature and how well their engagement session went. As I expected, the day went so smoothly and we all had a wonderful time at the Fleisher Art Memorial. Their dog, Stanley, even made a few appearances throughout the day! Congrats Kim and Chip!

Laura & Dex – Harrisburg Engagement

Dex is a fellow photographer (and Nikon shooter) so I’m always a bit nervous when working with other photographers. However, Laura and Dex couldn’t have been sweeter and easier to work with. The joy and passion that they have for life is contagious and my cheeks hurt by the end of their engagement session from smiling and laughing so much. I truly can’t wait for their wedding in September at the Vineyard at Grandview!

It poured for most of Leigh Ann and Alex’s wedding day but that didn’t stop them (or anyone else) from having a wonderful time! The Greenville Country Club and The Patio at Archmere Academy had tons of beautiful indoor spaces that we used for their pictures. The reception space felt like we were in Italy and was absolutely stunning. Congrats to Leigh Ann and Alex as they begin their new life together as husband and wife!

Dixie is NOT a morning person but you would never know based on how much fun she was at the crack of dawn on a frigid Saturday morning in February. Lucas brought his best game as well and it made for a phenomenal time with these two. We really lucked out with a beautiful sunrise and some gorgeous natural light at perfect locations. Stay tuned for more from these two when they get married in September at Ironstone Ranch in Elizabethtown!

Alicia & Justin – Middleburg Wedding

When Alicia first contacted me about photographing her wedding, I’ll admit that I was hesitant because it was New Year’s Eve and I wasn’t sure that I wanted to work on a holiday. However, after talking with Alicia for a bit, it became very clear that she truly valued photography and loved my work so I couldn’t say no! Alicia and Justin’s day was perfect and their first look will forever be one of my favorite moments as a wedding photographer. They really opened themselves up and were vulnerable with one another throughout the day and I feel that it really benefited their pictures. Congrats Alicia and Justin!

Christina & Brian – Inn at Leola Village Wedding

Christina was super excited (and a little nervous) when the weather report came across with the four letter word that couples either hate or love: SNOW. Thankfully, the snow ended just in time for the roads to be safe and it left a beautiful thin layer of snow everywhere. The Inn at Leola Village looked absolutely gorgeous and served as the perfect backdrop to this winter wonderland wedding. The day was full of love, laughter, and tears and I can’t thank Christina and Brian enough for allowing us to capture their special day!

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!
