Grace Winery Wedding | Amy and Matt | Glen Mills Wedding Photography

bride and groom embrace in the vineyards at Grace Winery after their wedding

In the thick of winter, nothing makes me happier than sharing some sweet memories of Amy and Matt’s Grace Winery Wedding. It’s one of the only weddings I shot hybrid, both digital and film, and I am so proud of that fact. Film is stunning, albeit a bit scare (hello where is the preview screen?? Oh… Right…), and I knew Amy and Matt would be the perfect couple to incorporate film with. You might not even be able to tell which photos below are film and which are digital…. and that’s the goal!

This was my first time shooting at Grace Winery, and it was everything I could have dreamed of! Not only are the old stone buildings and red barn full of charm and history, but the staff were all incredibly warm and helpful. And don’t get me started on the food! Amy and Matt had their ceremony in a grassy knoll behind the barn. It almost reminded me of an outdoor theater, with benches built into the earth. Matt built the wedding arch, and all of the florals….well…. that was Amy and Matt!

For me, one of the highlights of the day was sunset portraits in the vineyard. We somehow hit the vineyard at the perfect time and soaked in all of the orange sunset goodness. More than anything, I love how Matt and Amy’s joy is so perfectly captured. If you ever get a chance to meet them, they’ll become your favorite people 🙂

For sure one of my favorite weddings of the year!

Chester County Anniversary Photography | Kris and Dave | Philadelphia Photography

couple embrace during their anniversary session at valley forge national historic park

Anniversaries call for a celebration. While they usually symbolize a year, when you really break down that year- or all of those years!- they are made up of so many incredible moments. The good and the bad, it’s another year of working through the tough and relishing in the joy.

Kris and Dave knew they wanted to document their anniversary and drove a few hours for a shoot at Valley Forge Park. With amazing weather and great conversation, we chased the sun around and I was able to get a sneak peak into their life together. Love, sweet laughter, respect, and joy.

I am so happy we were able to celebrate a beautiful love story!

Bloomsburg Engagement Session | Katie and Andrew | Pennsylvania Engagement Photographer

bride and groom run around during their dark and moody engagement session in Bloomsburg PA

When I first talked with Katie and Andrew, it was clear that they were going to be fun to photograph. Their wedding is planned for Pump House B&B in Bloomsburg, which is oozing with charm and character, and their engagement session was in the woods in between storms. They both told me that they really wanted their personalities captured, and nothing staged. So that is exactly what we did!

Despite the humidity and spritz of rain, Katie and Andrew ran through the woods, danced under pine trees, and played tag in a field. They kissed and laughed and let their engagement session become a documentary.

Their style is incredibly raw and refreshing, and I cannot wait to photograph their wedding next year!
