Elizabeth and Gabe both attended this small college in Austria… during separate years! Their college in Ohio has a sister-school program with this small campus in Gaming and every year, many of the American students go and study abroad in this charming little European town. These two decided to host a destination wedding in a […]

You know that feeling when you have your hopes really high for something and you’re not sure if how you feel will be validated? Welp, I finally got to work with East Made Co and all of my expectations were exceeded! This dream team put together this Monet editorial like it came from my dreams. This was definitely one of the highlights from my time in Nashville at The Hybrid Co conference which I was able to speak at this spring!

This year was surreal. I built my business in ways I never thought possible. I photographed 29 weddings, 61 engagement & lifestyle sessions, 10 boudoir sessions, 2 proposals and 21 mini sessions. I traveled to abroad to Cuba, Tulum, Montreal, cruised Alaska and slept in a car in the Great American West.

When Ben and I wrote down our travel bucket list, I thought this one would never happen. I’ve always felt cruises were for old people and families AND I never thought I would have a week in summer when BOTH of us would have time off. Welp, the stars aligned and got to go on our first solo vacation in nearly two years! I can’t tell you how much we needed this vacation. We detoxed, got couples massages, gained some perspective on our future goals as a team and ordered a hell of a lot of room service. I’m came back feeling recharged, at peace and more in love than ever. I thought I would leave Alaska feeling inspired by nature and while that may also be true, what surprised me about this trip was how much I missed hanging with my number one.

I met Katie about 3 years back through an amazing mutual friend: Jess Perry. As with a great number of my friendships, swimming is involved. Katie grew up in New England swimming as did my former college roommate so it only stood to reason that once Jess got engaged, all of her worlds would collide. Katie and I became fast friends through that year and I always seemed to run into her an Bryan at weddings! After the two met at Tuck business school and dated for the years after, everyone would say “When are you two getting engaged?”

Last year, I made a Destination Photography Bucket List on the blog. This year, I looked back on it to see if I had made any progress. I shot 8 of the 20 locations on the list! Not half bad for a year! After a full calendar year had past, I was inspired by my journey to look ahead to new travel and reevaluate the list! Some remained on the list and a few new venue-related locations popped up. Here it is folks!

Being a Division I swimmer, I have ALWAYS wanted to do a water session with one of my couples. But it’s not the easiest thing to convince couples to throw on bikinis and go for a dip when the closet body of water is the Potomac River. I was lucky enough to capture Ellese & Dave’s proposal during their trip to Banff this summer. Since Ellese is a wanderlust like me, we naturally started planning our next adventure. Since we had our eyes set on Tulum, it was a cinch to snap some engagement photos during the front end of our trip when Dave could visit for a few days.

On my plane ride over to Cuba from Ft. Lauderdale, I sat next to a stranger who described how her parents met. She said they were at a party and her father looked up, saw this woman across the room and and thought ‘Oh, there she is.’ This is nearly the exact same story for this darling Cuban couple.
