Jake + Ashlyn ~ The Tangier Ohio Wedding

This wedding holds a special place in my heart because Jake and Ashlyn are two of my (and my husband's!) best friends from college. I know Jake and Ashlyn better individually than as a couple because they didn't start dating until after I graduated and moved away, but seeing them together and now committing themselves to each other forever has been the most beautiful thing. Their wedding day was an amazing celebration of their love, God's grace in bringing them together, and the joy of many friends and family who support them. Thanks for sharing the day with all of us, Jake and Ashlyn! May your marriage be a blessing to you both and many others in the years to come. xoxo 

*A big shoutout to Paige Lorello who shot this wedding with me and made it possible to fly through the photos efficiently on an unusually hot June day!   

Matt + Paige ~ Stambaugh Auditorium Ohio Wedding

Matt & Paige's wedding was extra special for me because not only do adore both of them as individuals, but I have known them for years and have really grown to appreciate their generous friendship and genuine hearts. They have been together for over 10 years now (!!!!!) and so it was extra exciting to celebrate this day with them...we all knew it would be here someday! Paige is an amazingly talented photographer herself, so I was flattered that she asked me to take photos of her own wedding day. It was not only a beautiful day for the eyes (everything was just stunning) and the taste buds (the food was some of the the most delicious I've had), but it was a beautiful day for celebrating the love and commitment that these two have for each other and how they have blessed each one of us in different ways. I couldn't be more excited for you, Matt & Paige! Many blessings on this new marriage journey!

The Ladies in Rocky Mountain National Park COLORADO

I came out to Colorado this spring to shoot a beautiful wedding and wanted to take the opportunity to hang out with some of my friends who I don't get to see much anymore. We spent the day walking through Estes Park and exploring Rocky Mountain National Park, ending the day by slipping on some dresses and pulling out our cameras for some fun! 

Elise is the blonde in the photos below. She is my cousin and life-long friend...we have grown up together our whole life, and even though the majority of our friendship was long-distance, it really never felt that way because we always managed to pick up right where we left off. We are probably pretty annoying to hang out with, honestly, because we are complete goofs and pretty much just giggle and make weird comments/jokes the whole time, and I absolutely love it. 

Kristen (Krippy, SPRATT, etc.) is the dark brunette in the shots below. We went to a small Christian school together back in western PA, and then our friendship blossomed as we started shooting weddings together in college. I then followed her out to eastern PA where I got to spend more time with her and get to know her on a deeper basis, beyond photography. She is an amazing woman and I'm hoping to follow her out to "Colorful Colorado" (it's actually really brown, but whatever haha) eventually! 

The curly/wavy-haired lady is me. I can't think of anything cool to say about myself...so just keep scrolling and enjoy the photos we all created in such an incredibly beautiful place!
