“ I have found the one whom my soul loves.” 💍🌸 I’m editing this engagement session tonight and totally counting down the days until their wedding next month. They have such a cool story about how God brought them together. Can’t wait to share!!!
One of these days I’ll prep my Italy blog and tell you all about how the wanderlust bug got a hold of my heart, and has me daydreaming of our next adventure...🚤🍷🍕 _______________________________________ #wanderlust #ishootfilm #ishootfujifilm #mamiya645 #veniceitaly #venicewedding #elopementphotographer

Okay, my turn!! Some of you may have seen our gorgeous 10 year anniversary photos done by the talented Cassi Claire Photography and now I get to share the ones I took of her and her awesome hubby. Pretty much, shooting a couples session in my new favorite place on Earth was everything you'd expect it to be. It was surreal, a dream come true, and absolutely breathtaking...BUT, my favorite part of this whole shoot was making new friends. We ran into Cassi and Chris walking around town the night before our shoot and ended up chatting for three hours on the beach. Then after our shoot the next day, we swapped testimonies, chatted about business, life, and all things in between over some amazing Italian food. I walked away with my belly full of delicious pizza and my heart full of quality conversation. This will be one of those shoots I will have to pinch myself years from now. Did I really just do that? I hope you enjoy! #positano __________ #ishootfilm #ishootfujifilm #fuji400 #photovisionprints #filmweddingphotographer #fineartwedding #filmisnotdead #mamiya #mediumformatfilm #positanowedding #positanoitaly #positanoengagement #positanoweddingphotographer #positanophotographer #positanophototour #destinationwedding #destinationweddingphotographer #destinationbride #anniversaryphotographer
A sweet couple session I did in Positano, Italy is being featured on the blog tonight! I’m so excited to share! #linkinprofile _____________________________________________ #wanderlust #italyengagement #positanowedding #elopementwedding #elopementphotographer #positanoitaly
It took ten years for this dream to become a reality. Ten years for us to get our act together and go on a honeymoon! How does that even happen? In our first year of marriage we talked about doing a honeymoon and then every year just passed us by. It stinks we waited ten years, but while we were there we chatted about how much more it meant to be doing this trip in the thick of a crazy season of life. We are raising three kids, running a business, and working on some ministry road bumps, and all signs pointed to “too busy,” but sometimes we just need to take a sabbatical from “too busy,” don’t we? Especially when it comes to the better of our marriage. More and more I’ve been thinking about building my business around my life instead of my life around business. Life is far too precious to not be celebrating something like marriage on the regular. Double tap if you agree! 📷 @cassiclaire
I just started going through my Italy pictures and organizing for a blog post. Can you believe it has taken me so long? Have you ever had that feeling that you were experiencing heaven on earth. That happened to me in Positano. I still dream of the waves crashing into the rocks beneath my window and being in awe of the deep blue waters. And every time I get a chance to talk about our trip, I cry when I speak about leaving Positano. This morning I woke up thinking about it, so I had to find a picture to post of the small wonder that is my personal heaven on Earth. I consider myself a small town coastal girl, so this city pulled on my heart strings in a major way. The picture is of the rocks right below our hotel window. *sigh* take me back! Do you have a favorite spot like this? __________________________________ #wanderlust #positanobride #destinationbride #italyweddingphotograper
I remember leaving our first meeting at a bagel shoppe on Main Street in Newark and calling Steve and telling him that if I didn't book them, I'd for real, be so sad. It felt like I was reconnecting with old friends when I was with them, and I just had this really good feeling we had a great connection. And we totally did!! Fast forward 16 months later, a few dinners, dozens of texts, and lots of laughs and smiles...and imagine me trying to photograph their special moments?!? I cried at least a dozen times and drove home last night wanting to pinch myself that I photographed my new friends’ wedding. Maria and Kevin, I know you already know how much I love you, but you should just know that this is the official IG statement that you ain’t getting rid of me (and Megan). Ever! 😘❤️ I’m so beyond thrilled for you two. Yesterday was perfection!!! Congratulations my friends. You are going to rock this marriage.

When you walk upon a field of wild flowers you need to stop to take a romantic picture. It’s like a rule in professional wedding photography. 😘🌿💐🍃💐 —————————————————— #calledtobecreative #ohwowyes #weddinginspiration #instagood #risingtidesociety #communityovercompetition #engagementring #shesaidyes #howheasked #engagementphotography #philadelphiaengagement #phillyphotographer #lookslikefilm #mastinlabs #instagood #theknot #filmphotographer #engagement #marylandphotographer #lightcaptured #lightinspired #theinstagramlab #risingtidesociety #thebloomforum #evokingyou #naturallightphotographer #shootandshare #fuji400 #hybridphotographer #inbeautyandchaos #communityovercompetition #delawarefamilyphotographer
Whew! I just love this. We’ve been studying the book of Exodus at church recently and if I’m honest it has left me with the inspiration and prayers to be more humble in life, particularly in my business and personal relationships. Social media lends itself as an easy means to getting sucked into yourself a little too much. And it’s not all bad, but it is for sure deflating. For example, “my work isn’t as good as {this person}” Or “I wish I booked that venue” or “why can’t I have that vacation?” (etc. etc). We all have done it, but can you imagine if we all change our mindset and only operate to serve others above ourselves?? What a beautiful world this would be. I can’t say much more that the quote doesn’t already say, so I think I’ll just mediate in this and pray I get better at putting others before myself in 2018.🌸 __________ #exodus #cslewis #encouraginguotes #inspiration #humble #communityovercompetition
I love him. I love him. I love him. There is nothing special about today except that I was going through vacation pics and saw this handsome guy and thought he deserved a Monday night shout out. Shouldn’t we all lift our spouses up every once and a while? But this guy....**sigh** He loves me fiercely. He makes me laugh on the regular. He is the best dad to our kids. He loves The Lord. He never ever complains about my crazy ideas for my business and on the contrary gets equally excited with me. He is the calm to my crazy, and my best fran in the whole wide world. Love you hubby! P.S. that smile and Positano looks good on you. _________________________ #beating50percent #fiercemarriage #marriedup #wanderlust #marriageisbeautiful #tenyearslater #becausemarriagematters
