This post, while the last of the Best of 2019, may be your favorite! This is where I share all of the great faces I make during wedding days, the time when my second shooters snap some real keepers.  It’s fun for me to share these with you though, because they’re real.  They are the […]

    Back in May, the Styling With Sam workshop held it’s first 2 day workshop experience! I worked so hard at making sure everything was perfect, from the swag bags all the way down to what kinds of food we were going to eat.  My workshops include a heavily detailed styled shoot, to put […]

Warm tones and textures, macrame and lace.  These are the things that I only ever dreamed of photographing before.  Boho style weddings are not that common in Pennsylvania, so when I looked around Forest Hall and saw some of these details, I was pumped.  It was finally going to happen! I wanted to make sure […]

Sunshine, birds, the sounds and feelings of warmer weather woke me up as I lay in my adorable quirky Air BnB.  I was in Pittsboro, North Carolina and it was the morning of the How We Gather Shootout.  I spent the day before driving from Pennsylvania, about 9 hours.  I was exhausted by the time […]

A few weeks ago I shared an amazing blog post about the importance of hiring a calligrapher for your invitation suite. I loved the feedback I got from that post, even with some of my own brides! Kelly and Buck work so hard (as well as other calligraphers and letterers do!) to really give the […]

“It’s Christmas themed without being too Christmasy” – words that I read while looking at the inspiration board of a beautifully detailed Nutcracker-esque wedding. I was so excited to travel to Pittsburgh for the Fine Art Wedding Workshop. As an educator myself, sometimes I find myself wanting to just have a little fun.  Not have […]

Today, I am so excited to be featuring an amazing vendor post! I have posted before on DIY floral projects, as florals are one of my favorite wedding details.  Today we’re going to take a peek at some table runner ideas and inspiration from floral company FTD. What is a wedding without flowers? The bride […]

Prepare yourselves for this blog post.  It’s a doozy.  A good doozy but I hope you stick with me until the end.  The month of July is over, and while I am so sad that fall is coming, I’m happy that my month of travel every week is done.  I took July and spent a […]

The 2nd styling with Sam shoot was last week, and oh mylanta was it perfection.  I spent months planning and being picky over details for this shoot.  I wanted it to stand out from the norm in styled wedding shoots, and I am so happy to say that I did just that with the help […]
