Keely & Todd | fall engagement photos in a cornfield

By | Engagements | No Comments

Sometimes the road to love is long, even for the best people, and Keely and Todd are two of the best.  They are always willing to help out a friend and value family above all else.  Life threw a lot of curve balls their way before they met each other.  Happily ever after had to work hard to track them down, but it didn’t give up.  This saturday they will say their vows on top of the hill at Keely’s parent’s property in the very spot where her sister Afton was married a few years ago.  It’s the spot where Keely had imagined her wedding long before she and Todd even met, and that her family has enjoyed many thursday night campfires over the years. Last fall we took a rambling drive around all of the dirt roads near their home.  We visited the hill where they’ll be married, the…

Chelsea & Adam | the hunt is over

By | Engagements | No Comments

 Their first date was at Home Depot. If that doesn’t say “married,” I don’t know what does. *wink*  Married people – you know what I’m talkin’ about!  They met one night at the bar where Chelsea works and exchanged numbers after a little prompting from their friends.  Adam (who is just as handy as he is handsome) got a text from Chelsea not long after asking if he knew how to install a ceiling fan.  When he arrived with his tools, Adam determined she’d bought the wrong ceiling fan so they headed to Home Depot to exchange it which turned into dinner, which turned into many more dates, and this weekend they will say forever, I love you. For their engagement photos last summer, we traveled to Chelsea’s family’s camp along the banks of French Creek where they’ve spent a lot of good times with family and friends.   They…

Michele & David | engagement photos at Mingo Creek

By | Engagements | No Comments

Michele and David are getting married tomorrow!  Hurricane Joaquin is just going to have to wait because these two deserve a beautiful day together.  When I asked David to describe Michele in three words, he said that she is intelligent, compassionate, and beautiful.  We met up last fall for their engagement photos at Mingo Creek Park near Finleyville, PA.  Mingo Creek is known for its covered bridge festival and beautiful scenery, it was the perfect spot to enjoy a crisp fall evening together before David had to leave.  Being a member of the armed forces, David and Michele were living their love long-distance since he would be away from home for several months.  Now he’s home and their wedding day is here 🙂  Time to celebrate!       It took all three of us searching the ground to find the perfect acorn and three colored leaves for a photo…

Jessica & Elias | sunset engagement photos

By | Engagements | No Comments

October is here!  And there are some darn fine people getting married this month 🙂  This weekend we are kicking things off with a wedding double header as Jessica and Elias tie the knot on Friday.  A few months ago we met up at Northmoreland Park for some sunset engagement photos and they brought along their dog, Lexy. Fate totally brought these two together.  It was a super hot day on a work trip in 2008 and Elias had a few hours to kill – he and his boss asked a random stranger in a Wendy’s if there were any pools close by where they could cool off and got directions to a pool down the road that turned out to be for members only.  After explaining their situation to the owner, he let them in for the day and you guessed it – there was the woman he would…
