April Blooms at The Barn at Stoneybrooke | Jaclyn + Eric | 4.17.21
It was time for the vows. Michael pulled sheets of paper from his officiant folder and handed them to Jackie and Eric. The intimate gathering of guests settled in to hear what these two incredibly intelligent, individuals had written for each other. They’ve written countless papers…maybe even a dissertation or two….but this was different.
Longwood Gardens Spring Family Photos | Moffett Family 4.11.21

A Colorful Springlike Wedding at Cameron Estate Inn | Katie + Matthew 3.13.21
I stepped out of my car and inhaled deeply. Though it was still winter the air was crisp with a delicious taste of citrusy spring. The warm sun radiated over the ground at Cameron Estate Inn as it sunk, settling into the trees at the far end of the property, just scraping the tops of the branches as it began to retire for the night. It was Katie and Matt’s wedding day.
It would be a day of introductions. A day of welcome. A day of love.

I’ve been quiet the past few days. It hasn’t really been on purpose but I’ve allowed myself to slip into full family mode over the holiday. We all needed it.
Racing the rain in Elizabethtown, PA | Caroline + Luke Engaged
Sometimes there is rain in the forecast, and we go for it anyway. This time of year, in mid-November can be tough. Rescheduling just means higher chances for colder and colder temps. It’s a rainy season though…
A Fall Mount Gretna, PA Engagement Session | Sydney + Nick
It was chilly this day and the fall foliage that was left…was on the ground for their session. Even so, the sun danced through the trees in a teasing kind of way. It played in Sydney’s hair and competed for attention with Nick. We chased the sunset from location to location as it set making magic everywhere we went.

A Cathedral Wedding Ceremony Followed by a Fall Reception at Historic Ashland | Abigail + Walter 10.17.20
“You can’t make this stuff up people!” A recurring statement from Abigail throughout their Historic Ashland wedding day and the days, weeks and months preceding the day. Abbie posted jokingly on her pages the day before the wedding that the theme of this wedding had been, “Come hell or high water.” It couldn’t have been more fitting.
A Rainy, Fall Wedding at The Barn at Stoneybrooke | Kerri + Michael 10.16.20
“My dad is going to be my best man,” Mike told me during their engagement session. He explained just how much his dad meant to him. It speaks volumes about Mike himself but also right back at his dad. When Bruce approached the microphone for the best man speech,

“We are also planning to bring Luna if that is okay. We don’t have anyone to bring along to help but we have a long leash and she’s pretty well behaved.”

A Fall Backyard Wedding - New Jersey Style | Kristin + Nicholas 9.26.20
My reaction pulling into the driveway for this backyard, New Jersey wedding reminded me of my husband seeing our wedding venue to the first time:
A Backyard, Micro-Wedding COVID – Style in Perryville, MD | Lauren + Brandon
It was a wrap. I three hours of coverage for Lauren and Brandon’s immediate family, micro-wedding at Brandon’s family home in Perryville, Maryland. Everything went superbly. A few detail photos, then my favorite part…they helped each other get ready (it was the sweetest thing I had never photographed before!), ceremony, husband and wife photos and a quick cake cutting and that was it! I was packing up my bag and heard Brandon’s mom, Julie, call from the kitchen, “Megan! We need you outside for one more photo!”
