I'm excited to share the photos from Kelsey's shower, which was out first official event in our new studio! It was so much fun having all of the ladies in our new space and celebrating Kelsey with them! I was happy to host and be in charge of the decorations and invites and creative-ness. So fun! Enjoy! -Brooke

Alyssa and I met McCall and her bridesmaids at their reception venue, Elkridge Country Club. McCall greeted us with a huge smile and I'm pretty sure it didn't leave her face for the rest of the day. Everyone was so excited and you could feel the positive energy in the room! The ceremony took place at the beautiful St. Ignatius Church in Baltimore, MD and I just loved witnessing both Will and McCall's reaction to seeing each other for the first time. The minute the ceremony ended the party began! During part of cocktail hour we took the bride and groom for some portraits around the golf course. The weather could not have been more perfect! The reception was a blast and everyone was dancing and having a good time. Alyssa and I really enjoyed being a small part of your day, Mr. and Mrs. Gridley. Have a blast in Thailand!

I had been counting the days until Andrew + Jessica's wedding. Jessica had found me on Instagram a while back, so I was able to get to know her a little bit before her big day. Jessica is so sweet and you could tell how excited she was to marry Andrew. When the day finally arrived, Brooke and I met everyone at Andrew's parent's rental property. The atmosphere was super laid back and everyone was working together to get ready. Jessica did a LOT herself. She had bought all of her flowers from Trader Joes and Whole Foods. While I was snapping pictures, boutonnieres were being pieced together. Brooke helped Jessica put her flower crown and bouquet together which were beautiful. It was a team effort which made it extra special! Brooke and I LOVED Jessica's dress, which was from BHLDN! The ceremony was held at J Edward Mack Scout Reservation which was absolutely beautiful. It was an intimate ceremony with only about 30 guests and you could really feel the love surrounding everyone. Andrew's sister Becky and boyfriend Jacob (from the band The Honey Trees) sang at the ceremony and it was ridiculously good. The reception was a "high tea" with awesome details. Jessica is also a super talented artist and designed and hand wrote her own invites. The entire day was a lot of fun and Brooke and I really enjoyed getting to know both families! Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Filip!

Bryan + Nicole's wedding was one I was definitely looking forward to this year. While we had only met via video chat, it felt like I was getting ready to photograph the marriage of longtime friends! Nicole is one of the most organized bride's I've ever had the privilege to work with! Her excitement about her wedding was absolutely contagious. Morris Arboretum in Philadelphia is a beautiful place. With all that was blooming, it provided the perfect backdrop for the day. I'm so excited to share this wedding with everyone, most especially Bryan + Nicole. Thank you for letting us be a part of your special day. -Jeff
It was 100% beautiful outside on Tuesday, which made for the perfect time to shoot Dani's (college) senior portraits. Tess and I met Dani at her place of work, The Canine Country Club, which I've always thought would be a great place to shoot photos! Dani brought her A-Game, with two really cute outfits and loads of happiness. It was awesome!
A couple weeks ago, Chris + Sarah were married at the always wonderful Cork Factory Hotel in Lancaster City. The moment my fiancé Liz and I walked into Sarah's suite, we knew it was going to be a great day. With about 10 people tucked into the bedroom, everyone wanted to help the bride put the finishing touches on her dress. Downstairs, Chris and his groomsmen were patiently waiting for the ceremony to begin! The weather turned out to be stunning! As we walked around the property, the four of us shared our excitement for them! It's so rewarding to be able to spend these moments with people, many who have become good friends of mine. I'm so thankful to have been able to share this day with Chris + Sarah, an extremely kind and oh-so-classy couple. -Jeff
Hagen + Maeve tied the knot this past weekend at The Farm at Eagle's Ridge and I'm so thankful that Liz and I were able to be a part of it. The weather, despite being incredibly windy, was beautiful. It was my first wedding of the year at Eagle's Ridge, so I was super grateful for the sunshine! Hagen + Maeve's first look was so sweet - from the moment he turned around to see her they didn't stop smiling the rest of the day. Their families were a lot of fun and made their celebration one to be remembered. Maeve's mother gave a speech at the reception about what she wishes for them as a couple, and each wish came with a matching ornament for their Christmas tree. Hagen's best man gave a funny speech where Maeve had a sign a document stating that she fully understands and accepts that legally Hagen is now her's to take care of.
Soon, after speeches and a delicious dinner (by Hilary Mace) the Lancaster Cupcake Truck arrived and everyone piled out into the windy night to grab a Mr. or Mrs. cupcake of their choosing.
To Hagen + Maeve - Thank you so much for allowing me to capture your families and your joy on your wedding day. You guys were fabulous.
Earlier this year one of our clients added two mini 4"x4" albums to their wedding package and they were seriously the cutest thing ever. They're the perfect little gift for your parents or even a favorite wedding vendor after your big day!
Several weeks ago, T.J.'s brother Nick, and his wife Lindsey, welcomed their first born into this world! And today I'm pleased to show you these adorable images of baby Zadok Samuel. He was extremely cooperative for photos, which was amazing!
