Driving through Warren with the windows down, I smiled.  It was beautiful.  The sun was bright and warm and I was so excited to see Kyle and Jen again.   I tried to keep track of where exactly I was going, and I had been warned that cell service was touch and go up the mountain.  […]

If you’ve ever been in Erie longer than a few weeks chances are you’ve been to or at least seen Presque Isle. It’s a hidden gem, not because it’s hard to get to or see, but because rarely is it seen for its beauty.  Levi & Loghan knew as soon as we started talking about […]

Fairytales and magic are things that we believe in when we’re small.  Sometimes those stories end up in real time right in front of you.  That’s exactly what happened with these two.  Mike and Kaylynn are crazy in love, full of smiles each time one of their gaze drifts toward the other. It was so […]

I love proposal stories.  They are one of my favorite parts of the engagement session.  I usually wait until about halfway through to ask how it all went down, and Jeremy did not disappoint in their story!! I met with Jessica and Jeremy Sunday evening.  The sun was out in full force, spring had finally […]

The skies were a perfect shade of grey.  Weird to say that, but it was just bright enough for a mid-morning glow, and just dark enough to keep you from squinting.  I knew some rain was coming our way, but I was prepped and excited to meet another SZP Couple.  As I pulled into the […]

Picnics in the park are so romantic I think. Today I’m introducing another one of my 2019 couples! This is Taylor and Nicole, one of the most adorable couples I’ve ever seen.  Finally meeting them in person was a relied, after hatting over email for so long I like to get to hug ya! It […]

I love being in new cities.  The thrill of driving into some place I could literally get lost in excites me, and being in Raleigh NC was nothing short of amazing.  I posted in a Facebook group for photographers before I left PA, asking if there were any couples who would be available to hang […]

The autumn is supposed to be crisp, cloudy, and beautiful.  Not dreary and cold.  However, I have found that the dreary PA weather in the fall can make for some beautiful moments.  I met with Mike and Ash at their college campus, Clarion University.  They brought along their fur baby Stanley, and he was so […]

They stood on the dance floor as the DJ explained there was one more dedication.  It was form Austin to his brand new bride.  A hush fell over the room as he read words chosen carefully, and my eyes went right to Danielle’s face.  Tears fell as she looked up into his eyes and he […]

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 […]
