I interviewed 2016 and 2017 brides, asking them to each share a bit about their wedding planning experience. Anything you would have done differently: Taken my own advice much sooner. I was so worried what other people would think (we both were) that it became more of a hassle to make decisions....
A majority of the spotlight may be on the couple getting married but being a part of the bridal party means that you still share some of that spotlight! Playing a key role in the wedding day means that you will likely be photographed way more than anticipated. The Ceremony It can feel a bit...
As massive as the internet it, it is still surprisingly difficult to find information on some wedding topics that can cause brides to panic (such as how to deal with your period on your wedding day). I often try to put myself in brides' shoes, thinking of their most worrying scenarios, and offer...
I'm sure most of you have seen the charts floating around, the ones which show a photographer's job is maybe 15% shooting and 85% business and editing. As crazy as it is to think that a photographer doesn't actually spend most of the time photographing, it really is true! I thought I would share a...
When I first met Megan and Bree for their engagement session last October, they were already excitedly counting down the months until their wedding day arrived. Somehow months quickly turned into weeks, leaving them nearly bursting with excitement. Finally, after nearly seven years together, the...
As you begin to research wedding photographers, you’ll likely notice that many of them require a travel fee outside of a certain radius. Some photographers have a set rate for their travel fees, whether it be certain states or even throughout the country, whereas others calculate and customize the...
I've known Holly for nearly 20 years and was shocked to learn they've never had a family portrait together. Of course I insisted that we schedule an Allentown family portrait session asap to create a few beautiful memories for their wall! Mike, like most husbands, wasn't too psyched when Holly...
We're already somehow halfway through the year and I just now realize that I never wrote a behind the scenes post for 2016! Usually I just post a compilation of a bunch of photos taken of me but this time I thought I'd put a little twist on it and show the moment I was capturing as someone...
The month of May can be hit or miss, in terms of weather, but Lina and Steven's wedding day was blessed with most absolute gorgeous wedding we could have asked for! Beautiful light poured through the hotel windows, as Lina began to get ready for a life-changing day. The way Lina's shoes, rings,...
Today marks what would have been my nan's 78th birthday. Although it breaks my heart to not have her here to guide me through the rest of my life, being the oldest of 20-some grandchildren, I am truly grateful that I was able to soak up so much of her advice and wisdom. My nan met my pop when she...
Scheduling the Anderson family's yearly session was a bit of a challenge this year. The original date we planned on was scheduled the day after we ended up getting a bunch of snow dumped on us, making the Lockridge Furnace Park inaccessible. Mother Nature kept stomping her feet, telling us that...
It's been a few years since I had last spent time Amber and Peadar, as I documented their exchange of wedding vows, so I was thrilled when they wanted to schedule a session! With the weather warming up, we all agreed that a "beachy" vibe would be awesome. This spot has it all: gorgeous views, a...
