Guests slowly made their way out of the reception tent. They clutched purses and jackets in their arms. The night of celebrations and dancing was coming to a close. Shoulder to shoulder they stood, as one by one they reached out to take a sparkler. As the flame passed from guest to guest, the lighting […]

The late-afternoon sun wrapped around the greenery and flowers. Meadowlark Botanical Gardens was quiet on this Tuesday night. We were walking around one of the many flower gardens, and Amy held Marybeth’s engagement ring in her hand. With all of the flowers surrounding us, we were looking for the best spot to shoot some images […]

The anticipation of Veronica and Troy’s wedding built as the bridesmaids stepped into the limo. They were about to ride across the campus of Mount St. Mary’s university to the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception. Veronica and her dad, Mike, would ride alone next. It was almost time for the limo to circle back around […]

Every room of the Berard house contained people busying themselves. Faith’s sisters and soon-to-be sisters-in-law applied final touches of makeup before getting into their bridesmaid dresses. Faith’s mom, Pat, gave us a tour and showed us where everything was set up for the reception following Mass. Amy captured photos of bridal details while Kyle photographed […]

Friends and family began to trickle in from the kitchen. The living room, dining room, and stairs started to fill with guests. The Aduccis’ home was decorated with beautiful details here and there for the celebration. Katrina and Kenneth hadn’t originally planned for their wedding reception to be at her parents’ house, but it was […]

The tall grass brushed across our shins. Yellow caution tape wrapped around the playground next door. Silence fell heavy all around us. The sun tucked itself neatly behind the tree line, but allowed its hazy rays to shine through branches on the trees. Occasionally, the sound of children’s laughter pulled our attention briefly toward the […]

We stepped out of our car and grabbed our camera bags. Throwing them over our shoulders, we approached the house. Elizabeth grew up here. This had become her home, once again, for the last few weeks. Today it would serve as the getting-ready quarters for Elizabeth and Erick’s wedding Mass. Their original plans didn’t look […]

The last bit of camera gear was packed into our bags. We were walking with Elizabeth and Erick through Spruce Street Harbor Park. There was a blue tint cast on everything from the sunken sun hidden by the clouds. We were basking in the post-engagement session high and enjoying our last bit of time with […]

Amy closed the bedroom door. Alli, now dressed as the most beautiful bride, sat in a chair by the window. In her hands was a card. Her name, written in Drew’s handwriting, was on the front. Alli said, “I have no idea why I’m crying” as she brought her hand up to her face to […]

I sat at my parents’ dining room table. Winnie played in the living room with my dad. They were hosting a tea party for our old Furbys. Just a normal day. Noting that she was taken care of, I turned to my laptop. I opened the file of images from Elena and Jonathan’s wedding. Everything […]
