I mean there’s just so much… the day was awesome. We left their day feeling so fulfilled. They might go down in history as the most family photos we’ve taken in a day but they may go down also as the best families… attentive, receptive and on time for photo segments! The florals are always a favorite for me. Can’t get enough. And Sami’s gown… OMG… Haley Paige, and the bridesmaids… Sami crushed it. What Sami picked out for her babes… they all looked incredible!

Woot Woot! These two are married! We were so excited to be part of this wedding. From the timeline to the vendors to the families and the really incredible wedding party, this couple deserved it all. To be trusted by a couple like these two is unreal. We can play, experiment, have a lot of fun. There wasn’t a single moment that these two got photo’d out… a phrase we use often and what we work really hard to avoid. The whole day was fun. The guests were so enjoyable to be around and empowered us to create magic and fun for all!

Yah! This wedding has been delivered and they love their photos! And I have to say, we do too! When we met Steph and John, we just knew that they would be one of those couples that would have an awesome wedding day, be excited for the full experience of the day, but also trust us to do what we love and are good at. The whole day was wonderful. These two opted not to do a first look which allowed us to do a lot of their separates on the front end of the day. Steph shared a really sweet reveal with her dad. John gave Stephanie a photo album… like a custom one and it was so sentimental. One of my favorite details from their day was including their dog on socks as well as signature drinks. Oh, and Steph wore cowboy boots!

This session is super special to me because Kellie is my COUSIN! I haven’t seen her in months, maybe even over a year, and it’s not too often that we see each other because we live in different states! But we had a family reunion a few months ago to celebrate our grandmothers life as she passed away earlier this year due to COVID and other health related things. Soon before our reunion, Kellie got engaged to Evan, a really sweet guy we were sooo excited to meet! Yah for more cousins (I only have 3 bios and now they all will be married!)

It was only fitting when we were together to take engagement pictures. It was also fitting because we happened to be spending the weekend all together at Britland Manor Estate for the reunion, which is also a wedding venue!

Bridal Shows are one of those things that we LOVE to do from a marketing standpoint and relationship standpoint. The ability to meet a lot of people in a short period of time is thrilling but also allows us to meet some pretty amazing people. Nikki and Pat were a couple we met through the Bohemia River Overlook show. I actually forgot how tall they are, but something that we remember talking to them about what how height and weight plays a part in photography and posing people based off physical dynamic and those factors matters.

Nikki and Pat also ended up being the winner of our engagement session giveaway so when they chose us to be their wedding photographers too, we were thrilled! These guys met through the University of Delaware but actually met in another state thanks to Volleyball. Pat is a surfer and volleyball guy, and Nikki is a physical therapist for athletes. They wanted to do their session at their Alma Mater, so we drove up and met them and cruised campus. We did over 15k steps and got such cool variety… the university has so much photo “treasure” as we call it, places to take photos, spots and the lighting was awesome. My favorite location… the kissing arches. Supposedly it’s like divine intervention, that if you kiss under the arches, you’re destined to that person for life! Now that I think about it… I should have kissed Patrick while we were there!
