ERICKA & ALEX

Filed under: love,marry me,portraits — admin at 2:20 pm on Saturday, April 23, 2022

You’ve probably seen Ericka on my blog before! We’ve been friends for over TEN years!

Alex came into her life last year right after she told me she was DONE with guys!

Thankfully Ericka lives right down the road from me and was able to make it up after the sun disappeared behind the mountains but wasn’t completely gone!!

Because she really wanted snowy engagement photos!!

MY FAVORITE!!!

Ericka and I both are REALLY jealous of his GORGEOUS hair!!

Can you guys get IN the snow for me!?

ERICKA!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!

I LOVE THAT SHOT!!!

We ran back inside to WARM UP because it was SO COLD that day!!

And they talked to to the people that couldn’t make it to the ceremony!!

I cannot imagine our lives without FACETIME!!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!!

They’ve waited a LONG time for this moment!!

That’s one of my FAVORITE photos of the day!!

I ADORE THAT SHOT!!!

Courtney & Kevin – THANK YOU SO MUCH for asking me to spend this long overdue day with you!!!

Courtney found me on THE KNOT!

She and Kevin had dated YEARS ago and then lost touch.

BUT they found their way back to each other and didn’t want to waste another second!!

Courtney LOVES her nieces – and they equally adore her!

I love that she’s still in her jammies!!

I couldn’t believe that her stuffy was a RAINBOW TROUT!!!

My maiden name is Trout and my dad REALLY wanted to name me RAINBOW!!

Being an aunt before you have your own children – it’s a MAGICAL thing!!

True to late fall – early winter in North PA – it was a VERY windy & chilly day – but it was their wedding day and it was BEAUTIFUL!!!

Do you see how intense her gaze is!? She was MORE than ready to say I DO!!

THEY DID IT!!! HUSBAND & WIFE!!!

NOW it was time to warm up!!!

MARRY ME

I’ll be taking wedding photos for Kellsy & James in October!!

I HIGHLY recommend having an engagement session with your photographer before your wedding!

It helps you get to know one another a little bit before spending THE day together!!

I KNEW this would be a KILLER session!!

AHHHHH!!! I LOVE THOSE!!!

Kellsy and James were up for my vision!!

This might be my NEW favorite place to take photos!!

Can you guys lay in the grass for me!?

AND THEY SAID YES WITH NO PROBLEM!!! NEW FAVORITES!!

SERIOUSLY!! THE BEST!!

The location I’ve been wanting to try out – which is a little bit of a hike to get to – AND a killer silhouette shot!?

They’re my FAVORITE!!!

Aren’t they GORGEOUS!?

Kellsy & James!! THANK YOU FOR BEING AWESOME & ADVENTUROUS!!

I CANNOT WAIT FOR YOUR WEDDING IN OCTOBER!

INTRODUCING THE MARRIED COUPLE!!

Their first dance as husband and wife!!

The song they danced to – DON’T BLINK! I knew where her TARDIS notebook was – so I ran and grabbed it – it was a PERFECT moment!

A tiny break in the rain called for photos of the bride & groom!!

Jessica & Ben – thank you SO MUCH for asking me to spend the day with you!!

I hope married life is EVERYTHING you hoped for and more!!!

MR. & MRS. BEN FELTEN!!

Rain ALL day on your wedding day can’t stop the happiness you feel!! LOOK AT THEIR FACES!!

Those shots are some of my favorite shots of the day – especially that last one – even though it’s out of focus!

These are the moment I love to give you – the ones you didn’t even realize were being photographed!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!

There was a small break in the rain – for just a few minutes!

GORGEOUS!!

I love a good moody black & white!!

I’ve got ONE more blog post to show you!!

I met Jessica at the ENDLESS MOUNTAINS BRIDAL EXPO in early 2020!!

They were originally getting married in October of 2020 but decided to postpone since 2020 was a dumpster fire!!

I could take pictures of Jessica ALL DAY!!!

SO HAPPY!!!

Isn’t she GORGEOUS!?

 

It rained their ENTIRE wedding day – THANKFULLY The Inn On Quarry Glen is BEAUTIFUL!!

SHE WROTE HER VOWS IN A TARDIS NOTEBOOK!? She’s my favorite!!

A first look moment with her dad!!

It did NOT disappoint!

He is SO ready to say I DO!!

HUSBAND & WIFE!!

Stay tuned for the rest of their wedding day!!

 

 

AN MARISSE & MICHAEL

PERFECTION!!

We went outside for a few shots before the sun went down!

A DREAM TO PHOTOGRAPH!

I love that VOLDEMORT was there!!

An Marisse & Michael – I had a GREAT time spending the day with you! THANK YOU so much for asking me!

 

 

 

AN MARISSE & MICHAEL

Filed under: love,marry me,portraits,silhouette,wedding — admin at 12:48 pm on Saturday, February 12, 2022

I got a message on FACEBOOK from An Marisse asking if I was available on September 25 – but I already had a family session and an engagement session scheduled that day!

We talked a little bit more and she was very interested in booking so I asked if my other sessions could reschedule – and they said ABSOLUTELY!!

Michael and An Marisse live in California but were traveling back to PA to get married because it’s where Michael grew up!!

I met with them in person a week before the wedding. I knew she would be a DREAM to photograph!

An’s sister was there to help her get dressed!

Sometimes photos just BEG to be black & white!!

I didn’t plan this shot – but when I looked back through the window to see if she was ready – it was waiting!!

A STAINED-GLASS SILHOUETTE!? YES PLEASE!!!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!!!

An Marisse changed dresses and we met at the park!!

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!

STUNNING!!

Make sure to come back and see the rest of their wedding!!

 

 

CASSIE & KOLTON

Cassie messaged me about engagement photos for her and Kolton!!

I was SO excited but that also turned into the realization that someone I grew up with in church (who is my age) has a daughter preparing to get married!?

I AM NOT THAT OLD!!

BUT – Jared’s parents met my parents at my dad’s 40th birthday party – so … I AM that old!!!

ANYWAY – we met at Waverly Glen because it’s BEAUTIFUL and local to them (and me when I’m visiting my parents)!

I had a little time to kill before they got there – so I explored!!

It was late September and a little chilly – so we avoided getting IN the water!!

The top of the waterfall is also GORGEOUS – so made a trip up the hill!!

STUNNING!!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!

Cassie & Kolton – thank you so much for trekking all over with me!

I hope it works out to be there on your wedding day!!
