I recently photographed Kim & Ryan's lovely springtime wedding at Monterre Vineyards in Orefield, PA. As soon as everyone finished getting ready, we went to Cedar Creek Park in Allentown for Kim and Ryan's first look. After a portrait session around the cherry blossoms and weeping willows, we headed over to Monterre Vineyards for the ceremony and reception.

We chose a soft color palette of dusty blue, silver and sage, and incorporated a lot of greenery and an ice motif to evoke a mood reminiscent of winter. Tyler Gardens was the perfect backdrop for the sophisticated and modern style of this shoot.
Read MoreI recently photographed Ruchi and Ryan’s traditional Hindu wedding ceremony at Anoopam Mission in the Lehigh Valley. Ruchi and Ryan’s closest family and friends surrounded them as they tied the knot, and the ceremony was truly a beautiful union between Ruchi and Ryan, as well as their families. Immediately following the ceremony, the joyful couple greeted all of their guests. After their family and friends congratulated them, they braved the cold and windy winter weather for some portraits around the scenic temple grounds. Full of smiles and laughter, their happiness really shines on camera! Congratulations, and best wishes for a lifetime of love and happiness to Ruchi and Ryan!

Read MoreLast month, I photographed a beautifully styled shoot designed by amazing wedding planner and designer Heather Benge of Heather Benge Events at the stunning George Peabody Library in Baltimore, MD. The George Peabody Library provided the perfect romantic backdrop for the elegant and modern style of this wedding inspiration shoot. Our bride Lissa Bergmann wore a beautiful strapless gown, and bridesmaids Katelyn Laremore and Alyssa Smith were styled to perfection in blush and gold gowns provided by Francesca's Bridal. Groom Erik Bergmann complemented the blush and gold color scheme with a blue suit and brown leather shoes.
The talented hair and makeup artists of Behind the Veil did an amazing job on the girls with a nice variety of hairstyles speckled with flowers and beautifully done makeup. J Starr's Flower Barn really tied the different parts of this shoot together with a stunning floral alter, a floral table arch and gorgeous bouquets made completely of locally grown flowers from Clear Ridge Nursery, Honeybee Flower Farm and Seaberry Farm. By incorporating the floral and metallic elements of this shoot, The Cake Studio made one of the most impressive cakes I have ever seen. The four tier cake featured contrasting textures, a metallic pop, and a fresh floral look of handmade fondant flowers. Check out some of my favorite photos from the shoot in the gallery below!
Read MoreA few weeks ago, I traveled down to Baltimore, Maryland for Melissa and Stephen's engagement session. This session had it all - a beautiful waterfront, historic architecture and an amazing view overlooking the city. And we couldn't have asked for better weather or a more gorgeous sunset! We started the engagement session in historic Federal Hill before taking a stroll around the Inner Harbor. We then headed up to the top of Federal Hill Park for a spectacular skyline view and watched the sun set over Charm City. Once the city lit up, we took a few night portraits and ended the session by the American Visionary Art Museum. Here are some of my favorites from their session.
