Summer at The Booking House: A wedding to remember | Erin + Adam | 8-28-2021
The party rocked, spilt between the dance floor and the cigar lounge upstairs. There was something for everyone. A great day from start to finish!
A Summer Wedding at The Mill at Manor Falls | Sydney + Nicholas | 8-14-2021
I don’t normally add the flower girl’s shoes to the overall flat lay design on wedding days but this one was different. This little girl, just like the final touch to the flat lay design, was an important piece in the puzzle that would fit this little family together today.
A Summer Engagement Session in Annapolis, MD | Renee + Curtis | 7-28-2021
This was probably the very first time I completely let my couple take the lead on the shoot locations. I had to. I had no way to see things ahead of time.

…They are both the life of the party and ready to help in a moments notice. They always have other’s well-being at heart…
A Summer Wolf’s Hollow County Park Engagement Session | Alicia + Paul | 6-27-2021
After giving Alicia lengthy instruction on a pose we were working on for their session, I joked as I often do to Paul about it being all about the girl. He laughed generously but then later admitted that while everyone says that wedding planning is all about the bride, he actually wants to have a part in the planning process too….It’s his wedding day too! And, I couldn’t agree more.
A Summer Aldie Mansion Wedding | Maura + Zachary | 6/12/2021
To know Maura and Zachary is to know love and acceptance. When Zach walked in the sunroom at Aldie Mansion on his wedding day to find me there taking their detail photos, he not only said hello but greeted me with the biggest smile you could imagine and a huge hug. I thought I was good at welcome hugs but honesty both Zach and his brother Patrick have me beat.
Wind in the Willows Summer Wedding | Jenna + Aaron’s Vow Renewal Celebration | 6-6-2021
Over the past year between Jenna and Aaron’s micro wedding last summer on 6-6-20 at Wind in the Willows and this year’s vow renewal celebration I’ve wondered: What do you do at a vow renewal celebration? AKA: Your original wedding panned was ruined by COVID so you got married anyway but still want to party with your friends at some point.
And the answer is…
A Rainy Spring Wedding at Historic Acres of Hershey | Christina + Andrew | 5-30-2021
It was the sweetest aisle moment I’ve witnessed to date. Christina and Andrew chose to have a traditional timeline to ensure the vision they had of their wedding ceremony, seeing each other for the first time at the alter, happened…and it was worth it!
A Rainy, Spring Wedding At The Barn at Stoneybrooke | Jennifer + Matthew | 05-29-2021
While I can’t say it was a perfect day….they really wanted to be married outside of course. I can say it was the day of their dreams.
Finding Wedding Vendors in 2021
You get what you pay for in almost all things wedding related.
From shoes to photography and everything in between this has held fast until recently. In 2021 there will be a problem with this statement. You may be willing to pay for it…but you can’t find it.
Racing the rain in Elizabethtown, PA | Caroline + Luke Engaged
Sometimes there is rain in the forecast, and we go for it anyway. This time of year, in mid-November can be tough. Rescheduling just means higher chances for colder and colder temps. It’s a rainy season though…
A Fall Mount Gretna, PA Engagement Session | Sydney + Nick
It was chilly this day and the fall foliage that was left…was on the ground for their session. Even so, the sun danced through the trees in a teasing kind of way. It played in Sydney’s hair and competed for attention with Nick. We chased the sunset from location to location as it set making magic everywhere we went.
Summer-like Fall Engagement Session at Fort Hunter Mansion | Kathryn + Brian
We got lucky for this one. It was almost 80 degrees outside for this mid-November engagement session at Fort Hunter Mansion and Park.
A Cathedral Wedding Ceremony Followed by a Fall Reception at Historic Ashland | Abigail + Walter 10.17.20
“You can’t make this stuff up people!” A recurring statement from Abigail throughout their Historic Ashland wedding day and the days, weeks and months preceding the day. Abbie posted jokingly on her pages the day before the wedding that the theme of this wedding had been, “Come hell or high water.” It couldn’t have been more fitting.
A Rainy, Fall Wedding at The Barn at Stoneybrooke | Kerri + Michael 10.16.20
“My dad is going to be my best man,” Mike told me during their engagement session. He explained just how much his dad meant to him. It speaks volumes about Mike himself but also right back at his dad. When Bruce approached the microphone for the best man speech,
Fall in the Hollow | Danielle + Paul Engaged
“We are also planning to bring Luna if that is okay. We don’t have anyone to bring along to help but we have a long leash and she’s pretty well behaved.”
“I Because I” and “You Because You”
In these moments that feel so out of control, the key is realizing the difference between the emotion and the need.
