Folino Estate Wedding: Aleaha & Ryan

Aleaha and Ryan had a beautiful wedding at the Folino Estates in Kutztown. Even though it rained and things were moved inside, the day was wonderful! The reception was full of laughter and dancing! This couple made my job super fun and easy. What a stunning bride Aleaha made!! Thank you Aleaha and Ryan for the honor of being your photographer!

Moonstone Manor wedding: Sarah & Ryan

Sarah and Ryan are the kind of couple that I want to hang out with every weekend. They LOVE to have fun and they laughed their way through the entire day. It was one of those weddings where I didn't at all feel like I was working but rather just hanging out (third wheeling) with some super cool people. Not to mention, Moonstone Manor was an absolute dream to photograph at. Architecturally stunning with gorgeous greenery and landscape. Between the amazing venue and my super adorable couple, it was basically impossible to take a bad photo. Sarah and Ryan, your day was absolutely beautiful! I'm happy to have met the both of you!

Excelsior Wedding: Stephanie & Bryan

Steph and Bryan are the most easy-going bride and groom that I've I think ever photographed. So naturally, their wedding day was the same. So relaxed and so chilled out. Steph even told me I may borrow her wedding dress after I couldn't stop talking about how much I was obsessed with it! See? She's the best. :) 

This couple was clearly deeply loved by their friends and family and it's easy to see why. They are unselfish and are concerned about the people around them more than themselves. They're the kind of people I want to be more like.

Congrats Steph and Bryan! I am happy that I met you two!

Riverdale Manor Wedding: Brooke & Matt

Brooke and Matt are a special couple to me personally. They’re sweet, fun, caring people with families and friends who are genuinely fun to be around, but what I love most about them is one simple thing… They brought limoncello shots to their engagement session! 

If you don’t know me personally you wouldn’t know how much I truly love a good party. But I do. I love them! I mean…. My life tag line is “life’s a party, rock your body” for goodness sake. So, when I rolled up to the engagement session with Brooke and Matt, you better believe I was over the moon excited to see they were down for fun. 

Now I'm no dummy. I’ve been photographing weddings for over 10 years, so I also knew this meant their wedding was going to be a blast because fun people usually surround themselves with fun people! And boy was I right!

The Bridesmaids and Groomsman put the “Party” into “Wedding Party” and I was laughing all day with them. They didn’t even blink an eye when it started to drizzle. They just popped open their umbrellas and continued doing photos like champs! 

In between the laughter and dancing were moments filled with happy tears, amazing speeches, and heartfelt commitments. You could feel the love throughout the whole day and I loved being the one who got to photograph the whole thing! 

Congrats Brooke and Matt! Thanks for letting me be part of the party!!

The Farm at Eagles Ridge Wedding: Amelia & Bret

From the moment I walked in the door, Amelia and Bret were so kind and gracious. It was their wedding day, but yet they were genuinely concerned about the care of their guests and their vendors. It was storming as I arrived, which is why they decided to switch their ceremony to an indoor space. Amelia didn't even bat an eye, she handled the, not-so-ideal-weather, with grace and ease. These two were so in love and you could tell that the only thing they cared about on their wedding day was the fact that they were marrying each other!! Thankfully, the rain did let up, and we were able to get some amazing portraits outdoors and danced the night away in the gorgeous barn at The Farm at Eagles Ridge. Rain or shine, you can't go wrong with this venue!! Amelia & Bret, thank you for the honor of documenting your wedding day and the beginning of what I know will be an amazing marriage!
