Ashley & Travis - engaged!

Hello Everyone,

We have been workin hard this month and excited to be posting more pictures for you!!

This capture session was based off of Ashley vision...she pre-scouted all the locations. Amazing job on location and I think the pictures say it all...

Ashley and Travis will marry this fall and I can't wait to work with them...check back soon for more pics!

Mara & Gabriel

Mara & Gabriel celebrated their engagement at Bent Creek Country Club May 8th. They enjoyed a small intimate ceremony that I was invited to capture. Two weeks later, they were married in Romania.

The joy about photographing this event for me was that the ceremony was performed in a different language. I could not understand a word the priest said but...I could perceive what he shared. Please enjoy these few photographs and let those in these pictures tell the story of this precious commitment.

Mara & Gabriel, thank you for giving me this privilege to work with you and bless your married life together.

Cathy & Austin : now one

Hello Everyone

Blog time again and we have a number ready to go!!

Cathy and Austin married on April 24, 2010 in New Holland, PA at Petra Christian Fellowship. I wanted to share with you a set of images captured during the ceremony that have blessed me and have given me more passion for capturing images. Let me explain...

As I look over these images I see more than just people wearing nice clothes...maybe clothes they may never wear again. I see more than just people standing on a stage and in places of prominent view (even if they don't like being on center stage). What I do see is:

Two mom's lighting a candle reflecting on the life of the one they now release...

A man in transition to something new and exciting and something he has long been anticipating...

the support of little and big...

the joy in receiving and giving away to the more that is in store...

a community of people surrounding one another in worship of a Creator that surrounds them...

the encouragement of mentors that will help guide Cathy and Austin and be there yesterday, today, and for years to come...

a commitment being made and instruction being given and the mystery of two becoming one...

participating with elements to remember this day that they are no longer two individuals but now together, forever...

prayers and knowledge of others being imparted to Cathy and Austin...

a first kiss...literally...this is something that I have rarely seen or have had the privilege of capturing...



...this is a series that I wish hugs and smiles could talk...or do they?

the joy ahead of a new life together as Mr. and Mrs...


Bless you Cathy and Austin...your commitment to one another has inspired me...your family and relationships challenge me...may these images be a reminder of that cool April day where you became one!

National Day of Prayer 2010

For the past few years I have been capturing the NDP and this year the event took place at a new location!! Lancaster Bible College hosted the event. Tony Evans spoke and son Anthony Evans lead worship for the evening. Here are a few of my favorite images of worship, encouragement and prayer!
