WINTERGREEN RESORT | VIRGINIA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Although weddings are beautiful, memorable, life-changing days honoring the love you and your partner have, and celebrating your life-long covenant to each other, they can also be hectic and stressful to say the least.

Which is why you might want to consider scheduling a bridal shoot apart from your wedding (partners can be included)! If you didn’t get that beautiful sunset shot that you wanted because of the weather, if you weren’t able to carve out enough time for bridal portraits during the hustle and bustle of it all, or if you just have a location aside from your venue that you want bridal portraits at that’s completely understandable.

This gives us complete freedom from the normal constraints of a wedding day, and we’d love to create some awesome ART with whatever vision you have in mind!

WINTERGREEN RESORT

Wintergreen resort holds a special place in our hearts as its stunning views of the Shenandoah valley, ski lodge, and mountain culture represent a part of our story as we used to call this part of Virginia our home.

BUCKS COUNTY WEDDING | PENNSYLVANIA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

I first met Maddie in elementary school, and like most childhood friends as we grew up life pulled us in different directions. But then she asked me to photograph her wedding.

Leading up to the wedding, I thought to myself how cool it would it be to tell our younger selves that we wouldn’t always be playing during recess or having sleepovers on the weekends; but that we would grow up, wouldn’t see each other for almost a decade between high school and her wedding day, and then would reconnect on one of the most important days of her life.

And it was beautiful. Seeing her and many others from my hometown and childhood on the wedding day was the absolute best. An oddly fun experience to reunite with the same people I used to sit in class with and see the unique individuals they had grown to become. Some of them turned out just as I had imagined, and others different than I originally pictured, but making perfect sense in hindsight.

Bucks County Wedding

Anyways, on the morning of the wedding there was a forecast of rain almost up until the moment the ceremony began, and the couple wanted to have it outside… They decided to take the risk and keep it that way. As the guests started arriving, the rain ceased and the procession started. As a result of the rain, the wooded backdrop in Bucks County was absolutely stunning because the fall foliage almost projected their vibrant colors back to us with the reflection of the sun. And although there may have been some soggy shoes that day, it was perfect nonetheless.

ALDIE MANSION | DOYELSTOWN WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Aiden and Ashley’s wedding was nothing short of a fairytale. Not only because Aldie Mansion looked like a castle, but because this classic couple infused their Scottish heritage into the ceremony, had a suit of armor in their reception hall, and had the most beautiful renaissance touches.

RIVER HOUSE AT ODETTE’s | NEW HOPE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

What an honor and special experience it is to photograph the love story of an old friend.

I met Alli during my freshman year of college at Kutztown University. We were in the same major and ended up in the same classes 99.9% of the time, which meant that we had countless 3 hour studio classes together during our 4 years. We would even do impromptu photoshoots of each other in our free time and worked in residence life together.

If you can’t already tell, we are very similar, especially when it comes to art, style, and being, well… perfectionists. So when she asked me and Josh to do her wedding and engagement photos I was actually a little surprised, but definitely up for the challenge.

Everything came together so beautifully, and how could it not with a bride so attuned to detail? The venue, wedding date itself, stationery, flowers, wedding dress, bridal party attire, makeup, hair, cake, decor, and even guestbook were all meticulously considered and elevated the moody, autumn theme.
