When Kevin proposed to Michaela, he knew he was going to have to work very hard to keep it a surprise. The premise was pretty straightforward: Kevin’s birthday was coming up so he told Michaela that he would like to meet up with a few friends and coworkers for a small party at Il Porto […]

Kat & Jeff’s engagement shoot was one of my favorite to date! The weather was perfect, the fall colors and lighting were gorgeous, and Kat and Jeff have such a natural chemistry between the two of them that it made my job so easy! About one minute into my consult with them, I knew that […]

When Brittany applied for a job at Sabor de Cuba, she never thought that it would lead to her meeting her soulmate. Mike’s brother, Nick, is the owner of Sabor de Cuba and Mike worked for him as a server. Brittany was hired as a hostess and after working together, the two realized there was […]

Alex and Lauren’s wedding was a series of firsts for Brent and I.  It was the first Penn State themed wedding we ever photographed (or attended for that matter) and let me just say, they rocked their theme!
