Glimpse: Amy + Jake, Constantino's Catering and Events Wedding Photography

There is nothing better than reconnecting with an amazing family you worked with in the past. We had the pleasure of meeting Amy + Jake after photographing Amy's brother Tom’s surprise proposal. That proposal led to many more beautiful moments captured with the Rummerfield family and Amy + Jake’s big day was going to be another occasion we wouldn’t miss for anything. It was charming and classic in every way from pool table antics with the Groomsmen to beautiful floral backdrops with the Bridesmaids. Their wedding venue of choice, Constantino’s in Dunmore, provided the perfect ambiance and top notch service to kick the party off right. We had such a nice time seeing some familiar faces and watching two great families grow larger with this beautiful joining. We are so happy for Amy + Jake and wish them many years of happiness!

Glimpse: Kailey + Elias, The Grand Estate At Hidden Acres Wedding Photography

We can't say enough good things about this wonderful couple! Kailey + Elias reached out to us about doing their engagement session back in the summer of 2016. Both not being from Lehigh Valley they decided to temporally call it home while continuing to pursue their higher education and careers. Finding a local photographer to capture their session was a must and the rest is history. We were thrilled when they contacted us months later to join them and their loved ones in Pittsburgh to celebrate. This was our first time to that area of PA so we were excited for the mini road trip, hotel stay and of course the wedding! Seeing everyone at the Estate was like being with old friends and we instantly started capturing amazing moments. The love, support and happiness that surrounds this couple is evident in every photo. We are so happy we were able to share such a special moment with a group of amazing people. A big congrats to Kailey + Elias and to many years joy!

Glimpse: Laura + Bryan, Steel Stacks + Lehigh University Engagement Photography

Laura + Bryan's engagement session was truly amazing! We were thrilled when Laura's sister Abby reached out to us about doing their wedding and engagement photos. Abby is an amazing wedding coordinator who we love working with and we're so excited to be part of her sisters big day! Laura + Bryan really wanted to incorporate their love for the local landscape so we decided to bear the 20 degree cold and photograph the sunrise at Lehigh University and Steel Stacks. So glad we started early because the light was just beautiful and we had the entire place to ourselves! We couldn't have thought of a better way to spend the morning. We couldn't be happier for this wonderful couple and can't wait for their big day!

Glimpse: Best of 2017

What can we say about 2017...besides the fact that it was our most amazing year yet! We met so many wonderful couples along the way and we were humbled by their kindness, hospitality, and graciousness towards us. Together we captured the true emotion of their day and so many beautiful moments in between. We couldn't be more grateful for all the support and opportunities that brought us here today. It definitely wasn't easy to narrow down our favorites from 2017, but here they are! 2018 has some tough competition and we're ready for the challenge! Wishing everyone a healthy and happy new year!

Glimpse: Lauren + Oscar, The Ryland Inn Wedding Photography

There is no better way to end an amazing year than with a wonderful wedding! Lauren + Oscars big day was full of joyful friends and family celebrating their love. From an intimate and traditional tea ceremony in the morning to the romantic grounds of the Ryland Inn everything came together perfectly. The golden fall sun even took a bit of the chill out of the air so we could take some beautiful outdoor portraits. We are so happy for this lovely couple and wish them many years of happiness!

Glimpse: Kelsey + Matt, Lockridge Park Engagement Photography

We had such a fun time exploring all the beautiful areas of Lockridge Park with one warm and down to earth couple. Kelsey + Matt were a joy to photograph and their closeness seems to shine through in every photo. We also were gifted with the absolute best fall day at Lockridge Park. The color was at it's peak and we practically had the whole place to ourselves! Needless to say their engagement session went amazing and we're so excited to see them again on the big day! 

Hope everyone's having a great week!
