You get engaged and you are so excited to plan your dream wedding and marry the love of your life and then you look at the to do list and wonder what did I get myself into.

Lauren and Derrick got married on August 24th, 2019 at the beautiful European Crystal Banquets just west of Chicago. As you can see this wedding was GORGEOUS! It was honestly a struggle picking out my favorite photos for this blog post. I had to keep reminding myself I can’t post their entire wedding gallery. 😫😂 It was basically one of those weddings that photographers dream of…

It’s a brand new week and what better time to share another GORGEOUS Downtown Philadelphia wedding. 😍 This is my first year photographing weddings in Philadelphia and I must say I am loving it. Philadelphia is really a city like no other. It is filled with so much charm and character. And I love when my couples embrace their hometown and opt to incorporate a little bit of their home…

One thing that I love about MY brides is that we almost always click instantly. Now that I am becoming a little more seasoned as a wedding photographer I’ve learned the importance of having that connection and sharing the same vision with your couples and not just providing a service to collect a paycheck. It will save you a lot of unnecessary headaches. From our initial consultation I knew Danielle was MY bride because it felt less like meeting with a client and more like talking to a girl friend about her wedding plans…

I have been looking forward to Lauren & Derrick’s wedding day since we had our initial consultation back in November. All of my couples are awesome but I instantly clicked with these two. One cool thing is that I went to high school with both of them. We graduated a few years apart but we know so many of the same people. I can never complain about not having support because my Hillcrest High School family have been some of the most supportive clients I have had…

Happy first day of spring guys! 🌸As great as that feels to say it doesn’t actually feel like spring just yet. And as much as I want to break out the sundress and sandals I know I have to give it another month or so for mother nature to get the memo! But just because it’s a little to soon to get those perfect spring portraits that doesn’t mean we can’t plan ahead and be ready for them.

Miranda and Jared’s engagement session was a major milestone for me. They were my very first engagement session when I moved to the East Coast. And their photos came out sooooooo gorgeous! 😍 Completely changing my location after shooting in Chicago for 5 years has definitely been a challenge but they were definitely a good start!
