Pinehall at Eisler Farms – Kylee + Michael

By | Pinehall Eisler Farms, weddings | No Comments

The words most spoken that day were “thank you” in every toast, every vow, every hug – they thanked God for each other, for the beautiful weather, for the chance to be together with family and friends, for life. Their wedding was so emotional. Tears of sorrow for loved ones dearly missed, and tears of joy for the power of love and celebration. I am so glad that fate brought this couple into my life because now we get to be friends for life. And I hope even in ordinary days in the future, happy times, or hard days when we miss people we love, that we always make time for champagne and confetti and fireworks and saying thank you.   Pinehall at Eisler Farms is one of my favorite rustic venues because everything is all in one place!  There’s space for both sides of the bridal party to get…

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…

Ashley & Nate | Yellow Creek State Park Engagement Session

By | Engagements, Uncategorized | 2 Comments

As most of you know – my sister, Ashley, is getting married next year!  She found herself a keeper 🙂  Ashley and Nate met in college at Slippery Rock University.  Nate is a ranger for the PA State Parks system.  They both love hiking, being outside, and shooting archery together.  We visited Yellow Creek State Park near Indiana, PA for some photos around the lake.                 Clearly, I am hilarious.  Or maybe it was all the talk about sharks.      At the end of the night, we remembered we still had their bows in the car.  Luckily, mother nature gave us a beautiful sunset and an opportunity for a cool shot.  I stood almost waist deep in the lake to get this one, and it was totally worth it!

Stephanie & Jason | fall engagement session

By | Engagements | No Comments

Stephanie and Jason are getting married in just five days!!  Let’s flashback to last fall when we met up at Northmoreland park for their engagement photos under the fall leaves.  They brought along their dog, Molly  –  AND Stephanie’s sister, Sarah, who is an expert labrador wrangler!  There was an awful lot of laughing as I flopped around in the bushes squawking like a dying turkey to get Molly to look up at just the right moment.  (It’s my signature dog photography move.)    I know I look like a nut, but it always works!  We explored the fields, found a turkey feather ironically, Molly got a lot of treats and we ended the night down by the dock with lines of geese flying south for the winter. It’s already been an exciting year for these two.  They’ve changed jobs, bought their first house and now after a year of…
