Sam & Caitie just booked me for their wedding about 2 weeks ago, and we jumped right in and did their mini-engagement session at Presque Isle on a clear, blue skied and sunny day! They are doing long-distance right now, so I think getting to hang out and be lovey-dovey was a fun time for them! Check out some favorites of mine, and guys can’t wait for your wedding next June 30!

Also, sam & caitie are PRO-rock skippers! they were going so far I was having a hard time photographing them, so I had them skip shallower and caught these cool pics

This wedding was completely special to me, as Aaron is my second cousin and he and my sister and I all grew up together. In fact Amy even graduated with him! So getting to see a family member tie the knot with such an incredible young lady, Hollie, was a joyful event for everyone. Aaron & Hollie met while working together at the Sarah Reed Children’s Center, and originally wouldn’t date because Hollie had a rule about dating co-workers! After various circumstances, they met again outside of work, talked and talked, and the rest was history!

Even though the rain was cold and wet and not the ideal weather setting we had envisioned, we made the best of it in a short time and I think got some of my favorite documentary shots ever. It was easy with such a beautiful and in love, happy couple! Enjoy – here’s a bunch more on flickr.

Ashley & Jim are one of the greatest couples! They are so in love and I just love their calm nature! The wedding was awesome, perfect weather, and gorgeous family, bridal party, guests, flowers & details! I was so honored to photograph it I always have a soft spot for couples that have done engagement photos with me, because I feel like I’ve been waiting with them for the big day! This one was no exception. Here’s some of my favorites, and more on flickr! Enjoy!!

I’ve had the honor of photographing two beautiful couples that are expecting their first child soon! We both had a blast. Here are a few favorites from each session!

I was so excited to do Hannah’s senior pictures. I got to head out to North East to shoot these pictures, and it is truly such a gorgeous little place. I love it there! We started out on the main strip and a cool, colorful alley way. It was a perfect night ( a little cold ) but stunningly gorgeous light and skies… and I had the honor of going to a beautiful property full of ponds, grape vines, old apple trees, grass, sunlight… it was amazing. Hannah was a total sport and we had a great time!! Here’s some of my favorites.. I had a really hard time narrowing these down because this girl is soooo cute!!!
