You guys know whats really fun about knowing a shit ton about cameras but not a lot about technology? When you write out a whole blog, forget to save it as you go, accidentally click the back button, and poof! Everything is gone. Luckily enough for me Sarah and Nicole were so amazing that I don’t mind writing about…
Read More2020 has been a f*cking ride. Am I right? I spent the first half of my year wondering what I was going to do with all my free time and planning all of the things I was going to take care of with my business. Then all of the sudden it’s OCTOBER! Like what? The planner in me is thinking How did we go from Christmas to Christmas? What happened to all those months in-between? I never realized how much weddings had just become a part of my life in the way…
Read MoreBe still my beating heart. I literally can’t even with how beautiful of a day Shannon and Joe got. For those of you who have been following along you know that 90% of my 2019 weddings were rain filled at some point in the day. Skip forward to 2020 and well… we all know what has been going on so lets just not talk about it any…
Read MoreSo here is my attempt at a solution… sort of. I would certainly (if I were getting married) be down for this option. An Elopement! A lot of you may have chosen your date and it’s become something special to you. You might have it printed on a few items around the house. You planned for your date and now you’re being asked to change it…
Read MoreGoing back through this wedding had my feeling SUPER nostalgic. I miss weddings so much right now. *Insert saddest face in the world! We are so close to getting back to celebrations that I can taste it! At the same time, it’s sad knowing that those celebrations won’t be the same as they used to be. I also HATE hearing…
Read MoreRemember that time it snowed in November? And I mean REALLY SNOWED. Welcome to the winter wonderland wedding of Amanda and Nick. I’ll fill you in on a little secret - I am loyal to a T (enegram 4… need I say more?) When couples book me for their winter weddings I always get asked, “What happens if it snows?”…
Read MoreYou know that giddy kind of love that just make you nervous when you think about it and relaxed when you’re around it? Meet Sarah and Sean. Two of the sweetest humans on earth that compliment each other in an undeniable way. These two said I do at a beautiful Chapel on the Malvern Prep Campus. Fun fact - in Middle…
Read MoreI am a water person. Like 100% a water baby. I told myself I wasn’t going to do any more styled shoots because they have served their purpose for me, but then the bomb ass planner Larissa with La Rue Events throws together some magical wedding dream goals and then puts it at a lake?! I’ll be dammed if i’m not…
Read MoreThe relationship between Katie and Brian can be summed up by one story: It’s not too long… unless I ramble as per my usual. Here it goes: When I first met this couple we went through the usual conversations about their wedding, I found out Brian’s…
Read MoreThis is hard. Really hard. I want to drink a few bottles of wine but I don’t have any. That and I have the kids home. While yes, it is testing me as a parent because I NEVER wanted to be a stay at home Mom, I am enjoying the memories and activities we are getting to do each day. Few things test creativity like being home…
Read MoreOperation get better at blogging is in full swing!!! You should see every to do list that I’ve ever written. I promise you that on everyone of them says “BLOG SOMETHING”. Never what though. Why? Because I have…
Read MoreCan we just talk about my people? Josh and Riley are my people. I felt a connection to them the instant they reached out to me and it only got stronger during their engagement session. No sooner did I start the session I was already in love with them! What makes them my people? They were carefree, funny, and it didn’t hurt in the least that they are absolutely bonkers for one another. And can we talk about how cute they are? I mean damn…
Read MoreCan you say Power Couple? Kaitlin and Rich reached out to me a 4 months before their wedding… 4 Months! Unfortunately their other photographer had to bow out gracefully but luckily for me they did because then I got to meet this AMAZING couple. With only one meeting shortly after booking I was a little nervous (as I…
Read MoreYa’ll!! Can you imagine a world where everything comes together and works in your favor and deadlines are always met and stress is not even a word in our vocabulary? No? Me neither! Good to know we have that in common. Luckily for me Oliva and Bryce are total Hawaiian go-with-the-flow beings and haven’t even questioned me throughout their process. These two love birds are actually not …
Read MoreJordan and Joe got married back in October but that is an INSANELY busy time in the Wedding World, especially in PA. I feel so guilty that I’m only just now getting to their blog but maybe we will just think of it like a happy half year of marriage gift! …
Read MoreFirst things first, I LOVE THESE TWO! I can’t stress that enough and I brag about it on both sides of my life. Matt was my first ever customer at a bar I work at every now and again. This was like 6 years ago! Since then he has always been someone I looked forward to coming in because in a sea of some crazies he we a fresh breath of normal. And then he started bringing in Lisa and I was all, “Girl, Yes!!'“. Lisa in her combat boots, all black…
Read MoreYou know how I mentioned before how borderline obsessed I am with my couples? And that I get to know a bit about their lives and what makes them unique as a couple? I do this to find that emotion. I want to capture your feelings, not just your faces. Ya’ll let me just say… Megan and Boomer (yes Boomer… it took me a while but it’s normal now to say Boomer and not Greg) gave me ALL. THE. FEELS. Not only are they one of the most beautiful couples to walk the earth, but Megan is so sweet…
Read MoreAbout a week or so before any of my couple's wedding I set up a meeting to review the final details and square away anything that needs to be taken care of before the big day. After a series of humorous texts back and forth with Liz I decided they were in need of some margaritas! I searching for some delicious Mexican fare between us and settled on a new place in Skippack.... little did I know it was BYOB! Are you effing kidding me?! Fail for me... luckily this was not a bad omen for their wedding!
So we start the day off a little behind schedule as we usually do with weddings, but that's fine with me. I get worried when things are on time to be honest with you. When I walk in, what I plan to see is almost all the girls all done up and the bride getting her final touches, what I walked into this time was one girl being finished with hair and the start of the bride's makeup. No problem for me because then I have more time with the details! <3 Details are one of my favorite parts of the wedding... I know it sounds silly... and to be honest, I'm …
Read MoreThis year I have had exactly zero amount of hours to blog anything. I didn't even look at the last blog I posted before this but I'm 90% sure it was something from the winter time... last winter... or maybe even the one before that. My goals for myself this year were to blog more because I LOOOOVVVEEEE my couples and I love making pretty things. Nonetheless, I also love being a Mom and little man has shifted my main focus of my waking hours. Actually he's shifted my sleeping hours by giving me horrific dreams every now any again but I hear that's just part of Mom life... yay Mom lif—
Read MoreI love me a good Philly Wedding and what a better way than to celebrate one when it’s a friend?! I know what you’re thinking isn’t everyone your friend? Real talk… Basically. Kidding. I have known Kristen and her family for as long as I can remember. We go waaaayyy back to the good old boating days where we had watermelon seed spitting contest, to beach trips where we ran surreys into parking meters. When she reached out to me it was a 100% no brainer. Philly? Check. Friend? Check. Beautiful Venue? Well it was Water Works in Fairmont so of course that was a check! Add in…
