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 […]

All Jessica knew she wanted was snow.  That’s all she asked for when we booked the engagement session.  Now, I stupidly thought of course there would be snow in December.  It’s Northwest Pa we’re talking about.  I woke up that Saturday morning, looked out the window and nothing.  Not one single flake in the sky.  […]

The cold snowflakes fell on Kaitlin’s hair as he tucked it behind her ear. It was cold in Erie Pa, but it made for the most magical looking engagement photos! Niko and Kaitlin, clad in their formal best were excited and making jokes the entire session. IT was like they weren’t even aware that we […]

I looked out the window as the speedometer needle lowered.  The view was terrifyingly beautiful.  I could feel my heart quicken as I tried to meander my way through the mountain roads.  When I arrived and got out of the car, the warm summer air took me by surprise.  I heard the sweetest voice as […]
