Amanda and Jim- Engaged

On Sunday, Austin and I went over to Media, PA for an Engagement shoot with Amanda and Jim. Amanda and Jim brought along their dog, Sheldon, who was just the sweetest pup, and very well behaved. We had a really great time shooting with them and Sheldon kept us laughing the whole time. We started off at a park, and then wondered around town taking some more shots. Media was actually a really nice little town full of shops and bars... I think Austin and I might be taking a trip back there sometime soon. We can't wait for Jim and Amanda's wedding this coming June... only weeks away...





I absolutely love this series. Sheldon was so happy-go-lucky until it was his turn to be in the photo. He really looked annoyed to have to sit and have his photo taken which was so funny. We were all cracking up at Sheldon's serious expression...


But then he must have gotten used to the camera, and we got a nice shot...

Dana and Brett are married

This wedding was extra special to me because the beautiful bride is my cousin Dana. When Dana first started planning her wedding, she asked if I wanted to be the photographer, but I told her that I would prefer to be a guest and enjoy the day with her. So, my good friend and great photographer
Nate Juliano was hired to be the official wedding photographer. Since Nate is a friend of ours, I was able to shoot with him for the getting ready and the ceremony. At this point, I was going to sit back and enjoy the reception. That idea went out the window the moment I got to the reception. I only brought 1 camera body and one lens to the receoption and Austin and I both wanted to shoot. Nate was kind enough to lend us one of his cameras to shoot with because we apparently don't know how to just be guests at a wedding. For my cousin Dana, this works out great because she had between 1 and 3 photographer coverage all day. Austin and I did manage to make it out to the dancefloor as well, and we really enjoyed ourselves. My cousin Dana looked gorgeous, and I'm excited that Brett is officially part of the family.



My sister Dink, the maid of honor, did Dana's makeup

Donna and Greg- Married

Last Saturday I had the opportunity to shoot with Thomas Lunt for Donna and Greg's wedding. One thing was for sure about this crew: They really knew how to party. I had the opportunity to ride on the trolley with the bridal party to the reception and it was a quite the party bus. I also learned that taking photos on a moving bumpy trolley is pretty difficult, but I still got a few fun shots. The flower girls in this wedding were too cute, and we all know how much I love flower girls!

The flowers that she chose were so pretty.. I love the bright colors!


Apparently there is a song that talks about throwing money in the air... No, it wasn't real money.. but everyone was having so much fun with it

How to tell that you love what you do....

As most of you probably already know, Austin (my husband) and I are now shooting together. Last weekend we did an engagement shoot with Alison and John.... see below post for photos. When looking through all the shots that we took I came across one photo that Austin took that made me laugh. Yes, thats me in the background... cheesing away... Really, Do I always smile that big?... And although its a funny pic, I just thought it was a really good depiction of how I feel about shooting with couples and how much I love what I do...

Alison and John- Engaged

On Sunday afternoon we went out with Alison and John for their engagement session. The weather was a gorgeous spring day. We started off over at Love Park in Philadelphia and then headed to a local park to get a few more shots. We had a great time with John and Alison and can't wait for their wedding this summer!

One of my favorites: How cute are these two?

My favorite of the day because I had it envisioned in my head before we even got there, thanks Alison and John
