▣ Kate & Dan | succop conservancy engagement session
There are not many settings as perfect as a summer evening in the country. And so I found myself waiting for Kate and Dan to meet me for their engagement session at Succop Conservancy in Butler County.
I have to give my couples a lot of credit for not looking at me too strangely when I suggest we explore a little for photos :) This was the first time meeting Kate and Dan in person and we discovered that they watch a lot of the same History Channell shows that are on at my house! (Mountain Men, American Guns, Pawn Stars, Pickers, etc..)
Succop is a great location for photos if you are a nature lover! There's the barn, the pond, fields, trees, pathways through the woods. While we were there we saw 2 rabbits, a ground hog, a few turtles, and lots and lots of canadian geese.
Kate and Dan's wedding is less than a month away at armstrong farms! I can't wait to get these two back out for photos. (Buckle up, Dan ;)
Only 23 more days to go till you are Mr. & Mrs. Gilson!

I have to apologize! This post was up 2 days ago and then mysteriously disappeared after a few hours. *Computer glitch*?
Kaity and Chris invited me out their camp where they are spending the summer in rural Bedford County. It was a real treat to have such a great couple, cool props, and fantastic scenery all combined into one session!
One of my favorite locations we stopped at was a historic covered bridge over a creek that is still in use!
Kaity and Chris also had a pair of vintage bicycles we took with us.
We got a few photos with the four legged members of their family, Aspen and Titan :)
The grand finale of this great day was being on a hill overlooking some classic Bedford County country side as the sun set behind us painting colors across the landscape.
I had such a great time with you guys, I can't wait for the wedding !! :D Comments added to this post ▣ Laura & Tom | Fall engagement session at the park
Today's post is special, not just because I'm sharing engagement photos of a great couple - but because TODAY July 21 - is their wedding day! Laura and Tommy will tie the knot in just 5 hours later today at beautiful Armstrong Farms!
We met at the park early last november on a blustery cold day when most of the leaves had fallen from the trees.
We actually did their session in 2 parts becase the first day it was SO COLD and the wind chill was even colder that after a few photos with their puppies, we decided to come back two days later when the weather was more cooperative :)
Happy wedding day Tommy and Laura - see you soon! I will bring the sunshine :D

After weeks of shooting and editing, I'm taking the rest of today off !
A few shots of the fireworks at canal days this year :)
Have a happy and safe 4th of July celebration! Comments added to this post ▣ July 2012
July - the halfway mark of the calendar - and a hot one this year !
This hazy sunset is from Greenough, MT on our trip last year where the smoke from neighboring wildfires obscured the distant ridge lines by day and painted the sky with color at night.
While we were out exploring and enjoying the sunset, we came upon a family of mule deer who curiously eyed us up over top of a dirt mound.
Get out and enjoy the outdoors this holiday (with plenty of water and sunscreen)! Have a safe and happy 4th of July !
Comments added to this post ▣ Emily & Brian | Happy First Anniversary!
Catching up on back logged blogging from last week! Please forgive my lateness - I've been swamped lately and trying to stay above the water and keep time with the waves of shooting and editing. We shot 9 weddings in June! Emily and Brian's anniversary was actually on June 25th and so I wanted to share their photos with you to celebrate their first year! I was lucky enough to get to see Emily, Brian, and their family a few weeks ago for family photos with their cute new nephew!
Their wedding day started as many others do with the girls hanging around the church having lunch, getting their make up done and telling stories. St. Richard's church was beautiful!
Emily's grandpa came to see her in her wedding dress before the ceremony to bless the rosary she would carry with her bouquet.
Brian and Emily exchanged personal letters to each other before they walked down the aisle.
Too cute! Emily and her bridesmaids anxiously sneaking a peek a the musicians before the ceremony.
Even though they didn't wan to SEE each other before the ceremony - they decided to share their own moment and hold hands around the corner.
Emily's brother's stood next to Brian in the wedding party as Emily's Dad walked his little girl down the aisle.
A few quick photos in the church garden.
We found a few spots after dinner for photos outside.
The whole room came out onto the dance floor for Rocky Top by John Denver !
One year later and it was still one of the best parties of the year! Congrats on your first anniversary and here's to 50 more!
Ceremony: St. Richard Catholic Church
Make Up: Pittsburgh MakeUp
Enterainment: DJ Mark Tishko
