When we meet a new couple during a consultation call, we like to hear about their vision for their wedding. Learning about how they envision their wedding day tells us a lot about them, and it helps us to discern if we’re a good fit to work as their photographers, or if perhaps the job […]

In late April, we received an email from Mary and Will telling us that they received some surprising news: Will’s deployment date had changed! All of the work and planning they had done for their wedding was quickly overshadowed by his obedience as a naval officer. They could move forward with their original plans, but […]

If you want to learn what someone values, spend time with them. As photographers, we spend more time with couples on their wedding day than any other vendor. A lot of that time is spent observing, and from these observations, we learn a lot. Our perception of each couple begins to form before we arrive […]

Emmitsburg is a holy place. Pilgrims come from far and wide to visit our two national shrines, pray at the tomb of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, and take in the history of the area. It’s a wonderful place to visit and pray, and it makes sense that Michelle and Pawel would want to come here […]

The fresh spring sun shone down brightly on the fields as we arrived for Mary and Thomas’s engagement session. Although spring was in the air, the winter chill had not yet left.

The Holy Spirit has always led the way for our business, and we do not doubt that this is what God wants us to be doing. The always-rotating puzzle piece is who we are meant to photograph. With each inquiry that we receive, we undergo a process to determine if we’re a good fit for […]

When Gabi and Ethan inquired with us to shoot their October 2026 wedding, we were super excited. Although we had yet to meet either of them, we knew that they had heard about us through Gabi’s maid of honor, Lexi, who is a friend of our family. Serving our fellow Catholics has made our time […]

Amy’s uncle just retired from a long career as a pile driver. We were lost in conversation with him at a family birthday party, discussing what his work entailed. After a bit of explaining, he summed it up by saying, “When the project (usually a bridge) is finished, you can’t see the work that I […]

We were introduced to the song Tuesdays by Jake Scott when one of our couples, Christine and Norm, chose it for their first dance. There is a beautiful message to it: love isn’t just the best or worst moments or days, but instead is found in the ordinary days, aka “the Tuesdays.” So much of […]
