Sami & Chris

Hey Everyone,

I had a blast working with Sami and Chris up at the Hershey Hotel. The hotel is under a bit of construction so we worked a few images inside the hotel and walked out behind the hotel for some garden images. As you can see, these two are crazy in love. I think I was laughing most of the time because of how playful Chris was with Sami and how Sami gave it right back to Chris. I hope you enjoy the images as much as I had fun capturing them! Make sure to look for more of their images of the wedding day in June!!

Jackie & Levi

God bless Texas!

Levi is from Texas and well he is the size of Texas! Jackie is the sister of one of our brides from 2007 and she is all about Texas! I had so much fun working with Jackie and Levi over at Rockford. We chose to capture some images in the early morning to working the morning light. One of my most favorite images that I have captured to date at Rockford is the image with the Jackie wrapped up in Levi's arms at the fence line. Right now you can look outside and see very little opportunity to capture "pretty" environmental images. But, ask you can see you just need a little love and a little light to capture something beautiful! What do you think??

Levi, thanks so much for trusting me. Jackie you did a great job of keeping Levi's mind off of the camera ;-) Can't wait to work with you this August!! Check back soon for more great photos and engagements!!

Amy & Dean Engagement Session

Hey Everyone,

Its me again...yes can you believe it!!
Amy and Dean are getting married next weekend and we thought it would be fun to run around at Lancaster County Park and capture a few engagement photos. Dean is an aspiring photographer, so we thought it would be great to really work some great light toward the evening hours of the day. Amy has this amazing smile when she looks at Dean and is quite relaxed in front of the camera...(maybe it is because she is used to Dean taking so many images of her???)

Well check back again soon for more images and Dean and Amy's pictures of their wedding day!

Melody & Patrick - 02.07.08

Hello Everyone,

My first wedding of 2009!!

Mel and Pat have many ties to Lancaster County but they live in DC. As they planed their wedding day there were a few things they desired. Pat is a graduate of F&M, so it was an easy decision to choose F&M's Nevin Chapel for the ceremony site. Next, they had a number of out of town guest, so they wanted a great hotel, Lancaster's Arts Hotel was a perfect choice. As they looked for a reception site they desired an elegant reception place with a little bit of home mixed in...Mel and Pat both grew up in the farmland of Lancaster County. So, Riverdale was the perfect fit for a beautiful ballroom with a touch of home in the olde farm house. Stacia from Petal and Beans designed the flowers. Loni and the crew from Luxe hair salon provided hair and make-up. (It was fun to just walk next door to capture a few prep images of Mel and the girls) Derek from Lavon Films documented the day through video. Char from Events by Char coordinated (She was amazing helping me work with the over 45-family members!!) DJ Freez finished the evening with great music and always a little smooth style.

Mel and Pat wanted to see each other before the ceremony and work with their over 45-family members for family pictures. Some of my most favorite pictures of the day were captured of Mel and Pat seeing each other on the F&M campus. It was incredible to see Pat's expression when he saw Mel for the first time and to see Mel react to Pat. I hope everyone enjoys the images and I look forward to blogging more soon!!
