9 Years ago today as the sun set over Assateague Island, Brent Rader got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! At the time, Brent and I had been together for five years and I knew the proposal was coming. In May, we went ring shopping at Golden Nugget Jewelers in Philly […]

When Jessica and David told me they were thinking of going with a gunpowder and lace theme for their wedding the first venue I thought of was The Lodges at Gettysburg. I was so glad they chose it because I think it perfectly complimented their understated theme. Jess’s lace dress and beautiful hairpiece set the […]

If ever a wedding day could be considered, “perfect” it was Adam and Danielle’s Springfield Manor Winery & Distillery wedding.  Despite the fact that most of July has been downright miserable their day was beautiful; sunny, low 80s, with a gentle breeze. Danielle chose a lavender and teal color scheme and their decor was simple but […]

I have always wanted to do a lavender field engagement shoot but had no idea there was one so close to us! When Brittany suggested we check out Soleado Lavender Farm I felt like a kid in a candy shop as I scouted out their website and instagram. This place is seriously gorgeous and I had […]

Needless to say we rescheduled, and honestly I did a little dance when it snowed because it […]

This summer I had the incredible opportunity to travel to Paris for a five day photography workshop with renowned photographer Scott Robert Lim.  I had never done anything like this and found myself both excited and incredibly nervous as the course crept up.  As soon as I stepped into the apartment where we met every morning […]

Engagement shoots are so fun because they give us time to get to know our couple better and showcase their interests and personalities.  Heather and Kyle are both dog lovers and as such wanted to incorporate their family of four puppies into their engagement shoot. We met at their home to get pictures in their back […]

Brent and I met Abby at the Carroll County Bridal Show this past March and within a couple minutes Brent and Abby were connecting over their shared love for cars and glocks. It’s rare that Brent has more in common with my brides than I do, but the three of us quickly hit it off and […]

With the months of planning and preparation that go into a wedding, the big day can often be stressful.  I have to say that Justin and Amelia were the most relaxed bride and groom I have ever worked with!  Their Holly Hills Country Club wedding was perfect, right down to the last detail, and the […]
