Words can hardly describe how much I enjoyed working with Katie and Jeff.  They are a true breath of fresh air, have an amazing personalities and know how to throw one heck of a party.

Despite the buckets of rain that poured down the morning of the wedding and throughout the afternoon everyone handled it really well.  I wasn’t holding out a lot of hope that we would even be able to get photos outdoors with the passing showers, but the photo gods were on my side and gave me enough tiny windows of opportunity to create really breath taking images. I honestly, haven’t laughed so hard during a reception as I did at theirs in quite sometime.  From the wonderful toasts to the craziness on the dance floor it was a wedding for the record books.

Katie and Jeff, thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to document your wedding day.  You two are truly amazing and I wish you nothing, but a lifetime of happiness, laughter and love!


Happy Friday!

Emily and Brent are such a sweet couple.  When I first met them, we were under about 2 feet of snow and I had my fingers crossed that on their wedding day all of the snow would be melted and we would have the perfect spring weather.  Thankfully, all of the snow melted and the weather was in fact perfect.

As many of you know.. I am really partial to the Conewago Manor Inn as I was married there a few years ago.  So, going back to the property is always so much fun to capture my couples memories and also relive my own.  Emily and Brent were married in the lawn behind the house near the stream, guests wondered the grounds for cocktail hour and the reception was under the tent.  You couldn’t ask for more perfect day.

My good friend and hair stylist, Christina asked if I could stop by and take a few photos of her salon for her new website.  I am more than excited to stop by and grab a few images.  Christina, has amazing style and a true gift for interior decorating as well as being an amazing stylist! 

Her salon is located off of Fruitville Pike, just past Bent Creek.  Here are a few images I grabbed at the salon.  I love how inviting Christina has made the salon look and feel. I could spend hours there just chatting with Christina and the girls!

I have worked with each of the girls at the salon for my wedding and regular appointments.  If you recall a few weeks ago I posted the wedding of Melissa and Rob.  Melissa, had Kim (one of my former brides) do her hair for her wedding.

I had to pleasure of working with the amazingly talented Janell Berte in March for the April- Art of Love show. I was asked to photograph the postcard image for the show and was so excited to work with Janell. We really lucked out with the weather and the lighting was PERFECT. You can’t go wrong with an incredible dress, rainboots and bubble gum!

Enjoy a few of my favorite images from the shoot!
