Paul + Jenna || Pennsylvania wedding photography

It was their day, put into motion 11 years prior when they were high school sweethearts. But they wanted to share it with another couple who had been so kind and generous to them.

So, Paul and Jenna called up the couple who had opened their home and beautiful yard to wedding guests, caterers, decorators, and two photographers, to share a dance all their own. This wasn’t that couple’s first dance, but rather a dance to celebrate their 40th anniversary which would fall on the following day. And Paul and Jenna saw that as good luck.

Yes, this was their day, but it was also a day to acknowledge, thank and celebrate the love and generosity so happily offered them from so many.

the business of life–and photography || an update

Hello? Remember me? The shamefaced girl who hasn’t posted anything on here in almost a week?

I’m sorry for my absence. This business of life has proven rather needy and attention hungry as of late. That in itself isn’t necessarily a bad thing. What is unfortunate is that it’s the kind of busyness that is largely behind-the-scenes and unpicturesque (you’ll notice I haven’t changed much in the intervening days; I still make up awkward sounding words).

Seth + Brigid || Colorado wedding photography

Kate walked up to Brigid and said: “I just met your new best friend.”

And she couldn’t have been more right, because a little over a year later, Brigid stood up before friends and family and promised her “new best friend,” Seth, that she would remain his best friend for the rest of her life.

Seth and Brigid’s wedding a few weeks ago was a beautiful start to what I’m certain will be an incredible life together. It was a wedding full not of stress and anxiety over the minutiae of the day, but rather, of overwhelming love, excitement and commitment to each other and their marriage.

It was also the beginning to what I hope will be an inspiring chapter of my life as a wedding photographer with my new partner, Dan. We couldn’t have asked for a better first couple to photograph.

Seth and Brigid, congratulations again! You guys were an absolute joy to work with, and we feel so blessed to have shared it with you.
