Mary Claire & Scott Michael at Huntington Valley Country Club ♡ A dream of a day if there ever was one.

I often think about the factors that make a wedding day feel like a little something more...something outside of the expected or just something that sticks with you on a deeper level. It's hard to describe because every wedding is SO different. It's hard to narrow in on a specific feeling, a specific moment. How do you sum up a day? A feeling? A memory?

For this one, I'll always remember Mary Claire talking about being "too" expressive - that she had seen a bunch of social media posts about watching your face throughout the day so it doesn't reflect in photos. But she said she decided she didn't care. And I think that level of confidence perfectly sums up MC & S. They didn't worry about a thing, they enjoyed every moment. Every loud, rambunctious, chaotic, quiet, peaceful moment. And my God, if I can impress anything on you as a photographer who's shot tons and tons of weddings - that passes the vibe check and then some. Yes we want you to look your best. Yes the details matter and need to be taken seriously. But if you're not living in a moment, you're missing it. You just are. And if you don't take time to look around in wonder at all the people and places and things that your love brought together on this day? Well, you might be missing the point entirely.

These two? Didn't miss a thing. And we love them for it ♡

A rainy Sunday wedding in the lushness of ♡

Here's three major takeaways from a rainy day wedding that you need to know :

First - love your venue inside and out. The "out" isn't always an option. The "in" needs to be able to carry your vision on its own. This one exceeded all expectations ♡

Second - hire a vendor team you TRUST. Know that they hold the key to making your day come alive. Choose them because you trust their knowledge and expertise to carry you through, no matter what comes our way. I'll never forget .the.bride crawling around discreetly on the floor to prepare the bubble cannons after the first kiss 🤣 But seriously, a vendor team that's ready to do what it takes regardless of plan A, B, or C falling through - invaluable.

And third? Embrace it ♡ Allison ran around barefoot in the wet grass, let the rain catch in her veil, her dress, all of it. You know why? Because it was her wedding day. And at the end of the day, the "things" don't matter. Your love does. And both Allison and Jordan proved that tenfold.

The sun shone in all the right places ♡

We met for a family session just as the clouds took over, but stayed behind for about 20 minutes of couples portraits. If we can make all this magic in that amount of time, imagine what we could do in an hour or two 😉🤭

Couples in love on the beach, I'll take more of that ocean magic please 🙏

Late night black and white favs from a timeless wedding day ✨️ couldn't even fit them all into one post, but that's usually how it goes.

We all know by now that I'm a lover of love, this is nothing new. I love it when it's deep and passionate, but I also love it when it's joyful and easy. I love a love that just feels comfortable being whoever it is they want to be. That cries tears without abandon, laughs like they're the only two in the room, and has noooo problem getting down on the dance floor.

Wedding days are full of every part of love. The parts that take your breath away and breathe life into your memories. That type of love sticks with me, and I don't take for granted that I get to witness it alongside you.

A pretty little Philly engagement session for your feed this morning ♡

I've talked about this before, but I used to think that "branding" myself would involve me talking about coffee and Netflix shows I binged on the weekend. It all felt hollow and repetitive to me. But then a door unlocked and I realized....oh! Branding myself just means that the people that want to find me, can see me. And I get to see them.

As I continue to shoot engagement sessions for my 2027 couples, I meet more and more people who areeee my people. And I love that they aren't exactly the same each and every time! They're multifaceted and interesting and deep and thoughtful. They're also fun and goofy and love to travel and explore. And hey - shocker- me too! It's a beautiful match each and every time because I am not one to put myself in a box. And my couples aren't either. We grow and change and love to learn, and I love seeing the things that light them up and excite them.

So I guess all that to say, the more you show up as yourself, the more your people find you. I know I know, this is brand new information! But someone out there needs to hear it and internalize it. I'm so glad I finally leaned into all the deep and passionate, but timeless and romantic pieces of me because it led to so many of you 🙌 ♡

I won't love you softly. No, not softly at all. I want to carve my name into your soul. I want to leave a craving no one else can satisfy. - unknown.

A dark and rainy night for a dark and moody wedding at . An absolute dream of a dream with two people who love fully, completely, passionately. A love that pushes and pulls, that challenges and grows. A love that doesn't settle, it makes you FEEL something.

This is what I mean when I say a vision changes everything. And commitment to that vision even more so. If you get married in a dark moody castle, be dark and moody. Be willing to touch, to yearn, to be in the moment. Be breathless. Be overcome. I loved every moment of photographing these two, because they GOT IT. I'll say it til I'm blue in the face - but my people always find me. And when they do, magic happens. So honored to have been there to witness this evening unfold. So in love with these two and their love ♡

(And a special shout out to Keith for blowing us both away with his commitment 👏 🙌 👌 You get it Keith!)

What a PARTYYYYY at for Mandy & Matt this weekend!

My brain is still spinning with all the colors and all the lights and all the music - it was a perfect evening under the stars ✨️

Mandy & Matt first locked eyes at the Fillmore, and I LOVE that they held their wedding here. It was such a different vibe, and we got to approach their day completely differently from our norm. Embracing color and light that we normally never get to play with - flash, drama, all the things. It was SO fun and challenging and an absolute blast to dream up everything this day could be, and see it through to fruition.

But more than any of that - we got to witness a love story nearly a decade in the making. One thing I love about these two is that they never stopped pursuing their passions while still pursuing each other. They run businesses, make music, party harder than anyone I know - and raise a family, love each other well, and build a life that is SO full. And if you know me, you know music is one of my deeper love stories as I love the way music moves through us and carries us away. A wedding centered entirely around a good beat and a good party was exactly what my heart needed.

A night I'll never forget ☀️🌙✨️

A deeply moody and emotional affair with Isabella & Dean at one of my favs .country.inn ♡

I think a lot about love. In this job you kind of have to. I think a lot about what it feels like to be in a bubble where the world just makes sense because "they" exist. You know the one. Without them, life feels a little untethered. A little less bright. With them? Sun.

I know it seems obvious, but being in love is one of life's greatest gifts. And if you know that in a deep place, a transformative place, it changes you. Love is a fluid thing that moves you, moves through you. It rewrites your code and DNA into a new person - one that moves heaven and earth to make your partner laugh, or to be next to them in times of sorrow. It's a magnetic force that calls you to them when you're apart, like a piece of you aches for your missing piece. It becomes a core piece of who you are, and who you'll grow to be .

Isabella and Dean love each other to their cores. They compliment each other in a way that's hard to express, but is deeply known to those in love. They are immeasurably tied and tethered, always reaching for the line that calls them home. And what a thing it is to witness, and to know love through them. What a thing it is to know.

What a day, what a time, what a place. What a party!
So honored to have been a part of it all ♡

It rained. We liked it.

I say it every year, and every year I mean it - I work with the most amazing people. The clients I hop on phone calls with feel more and more aligned. I remember feeling so at ease talking to Ashley and knowing that her vision was SO in line with what I love to do. It felt like kismet. Meeting her and Bill yesterday solidified that. The right people will always find a way to me.

The people I work with embrace the unknown. They trust. They play. They laugh at themselves. They aren't afraid to try. They bake banana muffins and bring me some 🥹 They take nothing too seriously. They just want to get married. The details are important, they matter. But at the end of the day they're still just things. People matter, and moments matter. Being in love in this moment, at this time and place - it means something. It's everything. And the couples that understand that have a special place in my heart.

When we find each other, beautiful things happen ✨️

In honor of me jetsetting off to Switzerland 🇨🇭 this evening, here's some random photos from past adventures!

Maybe it makes me a basic biddy considering I've barely seen my own back yard and have SO much of the world yet to see, but all my favorite stories live in Europe ✨️ so it'll always be my favorite place to visit. I can't wait to explore a new land and make memories in this glorious place!!

This is my oldest son's first trip outside of the US and my heart is bursting at the thought of spending this time with him. This is his last year of "childhood" and I'm trying to soak up every second I can 🥹

I'll still be reachable and working and delivering things here and there (ready to edit on this plane baby 😆) but response times may be a little slower! Can't wait to share our adventures with you!!
