New Years Eve Intimate Pennsylvania Micro Wedding

Happy not so New Year everyone! 😂 I wanted to start this blog saying that because even though we are halfway through the first month of 2021, it just fits with the photos I am sharing I am today. Stephanie and Kendel’s New Years Eve wedding was my very last wedding of 2020. They were also my very first micro wedding! (By the way I am now completely sold on them. I am now contemplating how to make half of my weddings be 20 ppl and less. 🤔😂)

Intimate Philadelphia Wedding at the Sheraton Valley Forge

‘True LOVE always prevails!’ On October 2nd, 2020, Dominque and Jared said ‘I DO’ at the Sheraton Valley Forge Hotel in King of Prussia, PA under a beautiful white tent with the people they loved the most there to witness. And despite the uncertainty of 2020 and having to switch venues not even 60 days of your wedding 😱(thanks covid 🙄) these two persevered! Dominque was escorted down the aisle in her gorgeous L&H bridal dress and fancy shoes with with red bottoms 👠by her father to marry the love of her life Jared! (who as you can see definitely matched her fly.) And they were surrounded their children and their closest family and friends to help them celebrate the beginning of

Romantic Herrington On the Bay Maryland Wedding

‘It’s the LOVE for me!’ ❤️On September 27th, 2020, a beautiful day filled with blue skies and sunshine, Krystina and Anthony exchanged their wedding vows on a beach over looking the gorgeous blue waters. And with masks and tear filled eyes their closest friends and families were there to witness. It was literally one of the most gorgeous ceremony’s I have ever photographed. 😍 And though I am still swooning, their beautiful ceremony was nothing compared to the excitement and love that was felt throughout their entire

Elegant Downtown Chicago Anniversary Session

Happy Wednesday…I think. 🤔 I know I can’t be the only one who is starting to loose track of what day it is during this pandemic. 😩 Honestly if that is you too then there is no judgement from me. As long as I do one thing that is good for me or productive per day, I feel like I am winning. And today that productive thing is this blog! I realized that with the busyness of last year, I did not have time to blog a lot of my favorite sessions. Welp, there is nothing like a world pandemic to slow…

Intimate La Banque Chicago Wedding

If I had to pick 2 words to describe Crystal & Spenser’s wedding day I would have to choose, teary eyed and joyful (and yes I realize ‘teary eyed' is technically not one word but humor me people lol). Watching them recited their vows to one another was the most memorable part of the day for me. ❤️ It was the way they looked at each other with tears in their eyes, as they told each other how much they loved each other and how much this moment meant to each of them. It was such a heartfelt moment that even a few bridesmaid’s and their moms were wiping away tears. 😭 But I can’t just say the day was teary eyed because that would not tell the whole story. Tears can mean so many things …

Elegant Bradford Estate New Jersey Wedding

Happy Friday-eve guys! Now the usual format for my blog post is to start out by picking one favorite moment from the couples wedding day and sharing it in an impactful way to draw in your attention and make you want to keep reading (I guess I just gave away the magic 😂). But to try and pick just one moment from Tiana and Naeem’s wedding day is nearly impossible. It truly was such an awesome day that I don’t have one singular moment to share. But one thing that seemed to be the common thread throughout the entire day is the way every single person spoke of these two, both individually and as a….

Romantic Philadelphia Country Club Wedding

Most wedding ceremonies are filled with deep gazes, meaningful words, and happy tears. Ashley and Stephan’s wedding had each of those things. But something else unique happened that really stood out to me. In the middle of their ceremony there was a loud disruptive noise. It stopped everyone in their tracks, including the minister performing the ceremony. And in a moment when some brides would have gotten upset that about a disruption happening in the middle of the ceremony they had spent months planning, Ashley did the exact opposite…
