Taylor's Maternity Session- Devil's Den, Gettysburg, PA

I'll admit.  When Taylor asked me to meet her at Devil's Den in Gettysburg for her maternity shoot, I wasn't "seeing her vision".  I didn't picture the battle field as an idea spot for beautifully touching photos. 

I was wrong.

We were loving this flowing wheat!

Favorite! I'd love to see this blown up BIG!

Jesse did a great job making this shot pure MAGIC.

Ok wait, maybe this one is my favorite.

Big brother got into some shots.

Cropping out all of the children climbing on the rock behind them was quite a feat.  The place was PACKED that evening because it was an absolutely GORGEOUS day!

It was just perfect on the top of this rock. Looked like an oil painting with the way the light was hitting the trees.  Couldn't have asked for a more perfect background.

Thank you Taylor and Jesse for helping me to create some of the most beautiful photos I've ever captured.  You guys crushed it.  

I can not WAIT to meet this little guy and do his newborn photos!

Rachel and Matt's Wedding

Remember Rachel and Matt from the engagment session I did of them? They just got married in May in historic downtown Gettysburg and I had a blast photographing for them!

Little did I know, Rachel is just oozing with style and taste...She used turquoise and red as the colors for her wedding. At the beginning of this year I had declared this my new favorite color combination and I was SO excited to see it in action. The bridesmaides held tulips and roses, while Rachel's bouquet wasn't technically flowers- they were metalic- broaches I believe. Her whole look was creative, artistic, and I loved it!Absolutely gorgeous details- down to their shoes. Fabuouls shoes.The ceremony was rather emotional. Actually the pastor made me think about things- why get married he asked? His conclusion is to have someone with whom you can experience life :)Told you she had style- I think she naturally did this pose on her own...Rock it out!We finished up with the formal photos and walked down to the old theater in Gettysburg.It was Majestic- no really, it was.Love the facial expressions during the speech...One of Rachel's bridesmaids sang the song for their first dance. Added a personal touch and great meaning.Shot this from outside at night through the glass. It's uh, very "different" or "artsy". Not sure how I feel about it. Looks very advertisementy- not sure for what.Congratulations to Rachel and Matt. I had a great time with you guys and you were so much fun to photograph for the day! Capturing your love for one another was my honor.

Uh, Yes!

I know you're all wondering if I still take photographs. The answer is yes. Lately blogging had dropped to the bottom of mylist of priorities. I'm recovering from abdominal surgery and am gearing up for an epic adventure to Montery, California to visit friends, then to meet up with my family in Ocean City, Maryland for a few days. But back to the fact that I'm STILL a photographer. Here is a preview of a wedding I photographed in May. Full blog is posting tomorrow!

Gettysburg Engagment Session

I met Rachel at a location that meant a lot to her and her fiance, Matthew. They both attended Gettysburg College and it made an ideal location to take their engament photos. I loved hearing about how different areas and buildings have different meanings to them.

Thanks guys for such a great time. It was great getting to meet you and learn more about you two. Totally stoked for Rachel and Matt's wedding in Gettysburg next year!!
