Kimberly + Hunter // Spring Wedding in Philadelphia, PA

I was absolutely over the MOON to document Kimberly and Hunter’s wedding last May in Center City Philadelphia. Their ceremony was held at S. Clement’s Church and the reception was at the luxurious Four Seasons. The space was incredible and the florals were probably my favorite I’ve ever photographed. It was a dreary day outside (soooo much rain!), but everyone involved made everything so bright and beautiful. So many special moments of excitement and joy!

Hunter and Kimberly, thank you from the bottom of my heart for having me. It was an unforgettable day! Enjoy some of my favorite memories…

First looks ALWAYS get my tears flowing. This one was no exception. So beautiful and such a privilege to witness the reveal!

After the first look, we were able to walk around the Four Seasons for portraits. The views from 50+ stories up and the floral installations were breathtaking.

I mean, just look at those bouquets. The colors, the textures, the compositions. Freaking gorgeous. And the women holding them, too!

We had some fun riding the escalator up (and down, and up again ;)) on the way to the reception.

I ADORE how the couple highlighted their love and advocacy for animals in their unique and stunning decor at the reception.

It was the bride’s brother’s birthday so they gave him a little toast. : )

Sara + Mark // Chapel Hill, NC Wedding Photographer

Last Winter, I had the special honor of helping my friend and talented photographer Emily Baucom (based in Charleston, SC) shoot a wedding in Chapel Hill. I LOVE second shooting because it allows me to hang more in the background and capture more candid moments. I also love shooting allllll the pretty details. : ) Plus I loved hanging out with Emily, who I haven’t seen in YEARS. She’s a gem of a human.

Enjoy some of my favorites and also take a peak at Emily’s blog post for the full day!

Margaret + Will // Hillsborough, NC Wedding Photographer

Last fall, Margaret and Will got married at a charming venue called Cate’s Farm at Cane Creek in Hillsborough, North Carolina. Libby McGowan Photography asked me to second shoot for her, and I was SO thrilled to help! It was a picturesque fall day with a lovely, laid back group of people. Here are some of my favorites. : )

Sarah + Andrew // Philadelphia, PA Wedding Photographer

Well helloooo everybody. Long time, no blog post. ;) It’s no surprise that my photography business has taken a backseat since I became a full-time SAHM a few years ago to raise our tiny humans. But I’m still here! And I still LOVE documenting all of life’s big (and little) moments. :) There’s no time like the present to start blogging again, and the first thing I’d to share is Sarah and Andrew’s wedding day.

These two were married on a gorgeous September day last year in Philadelphia. The ceremony took place at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church and the reception was at The Union League. My favorite parts of the day included photographing the first look in the historic library, when the groom was just overcome with emotion after the ceremony (definitely teared up from behind the camera), all of the anticipation and excitement from the families throughout the day, the BEAUTIFUL florals and the rockin’ reception. I thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with these lovely people. Enjoy a glimpse into their wedding!
