If this Franciscan Monastery engagement shoot proved anything it’s that Amy and Marc are able to remain positive despite serious crazy shenanigans trying to ruin their day. I met Amy a few summers ago through a mutual friend after Amy moved down from Pittsburgh and then we discovered we would be teaching at the same […]
