I am going to be shooting Chelsea and Steve’s wedding next Sunday. So, we decided to finally arrange their engagement session. Chelsea warned me that Steve was very shy….so I was a little nervous. I think he will be used to me a little more next week!
We met in Elizabethtown this morning, bright and early, just as everyone was going about their daily routines. This made us all laugh as we were in the middle of town and all eyes on us! We found some quieter places later…
Here are a few of my favorites.
See you guys soon!! Thanks!!

Saturday, Dawn and Mike met me at Long’s park in Lancaster for their engagment session. We tried to avoid the crowds of people having cookouts for Cinco de Mayo. They did come in handy when we saw a little girl shaking the cherry blossom trees and asked her to do that for us. Here are a few for our gorgeous day!

Today, Katie and I headed to Gettysburg for Kacinda and Michael’s wedding. The day went flawlessly. I was so happy they were up for anything. Their whole wedding party made the day so much fun. Patton, one of the groomsman even drug me out on the dance floor for the oh -so -famous electric slide…(there are no incriminating photos of that!) Their reception was held at the brand new Wyndham Hotel in Gettysburg. What a beautiful classy place!
We even got to work with one of out favorite DJ’s, Matthew from Occasion’s DJ.
Here are a few from today before we go!!

On Friday night, Katie and I headed to my church for Amanda and Brian’s wedding. I always love to do weddings in my church because it feels like home. Plus, It is like a big family reunion. What a beautiful day for a wedding. This was one of the most relaxed weddings I have done. The ceremony went perfect and I was able to have a little more creative freedom. Amanda and Brian were up for anything. So, we headed up to Higher Grounds coffee house on Main St. for a little fun. The girls in there were so excited to see us and let us do whatever we wanted.
Afterward we went back to the church for a little reception. I hope you enjoyed you honeymoon! Here is your show!

Ali and Steve were my last session of the weekend. What a great way to end it though! I met them on City Island in Harrisburg and then walked all over the city. These two cracked me up! Steve was very quiet while Ali and I talked, but then whenever it was time to shoot, he was the crazy one. It is nice when you find a couple that will do the crazy things you ask….sorry Liesa, I know I said I wouldn’t make people jump….but it was necessary!
Here are a few from our gorgeous day!!

Yesterday, I met Lauren and Mike in Philly for their engagement session. It was an amazing day! The weather couldn’t have been more perfect. It was great to be able to come back to where I used to live. Even though I had spent so much time there, Mike was able to show me places that I never knew existed. I couldn’t believe it! We even went to walk by my old apartment….which was now a huge pile of rubble….so sad!
We started off at Love park and ended on South Street. I wanted to take them to one of my favorite things to look at every morning on my way to school. We had trouble finding it again, but it has been so many years since I was there. This place has grown tremendously! There is an artist who has been doing tile mosaics for years…now, it is a museum, so to speak. Really indescribeable….
After our session, we went to lunch at Fado’s. It is a great little Irish pub off of Walnut. It made for a great private moment between Mike and Lauren.
Here are a few from our day! Thanks guys for everything!!
