Jordan + Katie are really really ridiculously sweet. One of the sweetest, kindest couples ever. And their wedding day was just a wonderful affair. On an overcast day in Gettysburg, we traveled to the battlefields to photograph their portraits. We stumbled upon a peach orchard, which was fitting because Katie used peaches in their details! I could ramble on and on about how it was such a beautiful day but I'll stop now and let the images tell the rest of the story! -Jeff
When I heard that Matt + Noelle made a trip from Boston JUST for me to photograph their engagement photos, I was beyond honored! It was so much fun learning about their upcoming wedding in Hong Kong. We walked down the road between my house and the studio, stopping at some of the places I've kept in mind for the perfect couple. Although I wish I were traveling to China to photograph their wedding, I'm so happy to have been able to capture them here in Lancaster, PA. -Jeff
Aaron + Michaela's wedding was what I can only describe as a musical-explosion. It was awesome. Both the happy couple and many of their guests hail from Nashville... so yea, I guess we should have expected it. It rained the first half of their day, but I had faith that the sun would come out eventually and it did! Michaela wore her Grandmother's dress and it was just perfect for her!
But back to the music, I swear every single person at that reception could sing just as beautifully as the last. Every time I turned around a new guest was up front, rocking the mic. The evening ended with Michaela singing a song to Aaron that she wrote for him. It was beautiful and romantic and I'm pretty sure everyone was crying. Someday when she's famous and her songs are No. 1 on iTunes you'll know why were were all crying. Happy-love tears of course!
Enjoy! -Brooke
Several weeks ago, T.J. and I spent all weekend driving all over the Pennsylvania and New Jersey for our weddings. Our first wedding of the weekend was up in the Pocono Mountains with Doug + Amanda. The girls got ready at this awesome cabin in the woods, which looked like it may have been part of Narnia. It was perfect for portraits and their first look. It was the most secluded, quiet first look I've ever been a part of. There's a good chance Aslan was watching from afar.
Amanda did a great job with the camp-themed details and I'm so glad we got to be part of their day! Doug + Amanda's wedding is proof that it can rain ALL DAY and you can still have a great time.
Enjoy!
There's a good chance that many of you have been waiting on this wedding for a little while! Maybe Jeff shot your wedding, or you follow him on Instagram, but it's finally here! Jeff has been on our team for the last several years and I've known Liz since she was little. Like, little little.
Some of my favorite things about Jeff + Liz's wedding are as follows: Uhm, the flowers. Times a million. I was so pumped when Jeff + Liz hired Lori to do their florals. She's fantastic. I also loved the handwritten details Jeff added to their day. And how hard everyone danced.
Enjoy the photos and leave a comment with your favorite! -Brooke
There's just something about these Maryland weddings! Neil + Laura were wed at the beautiful Elkridge-Harford Hunt Club in Monkton. Their ceremony was one of the most beautifully lit locations I've ever had the privilege of photographing at. It made you feel as if you were in the South. What my wife Liz and I loved most about their day was how genuinely nice everyone was to us throughout the day! I'm so excited to share this wedding with you all, it is one of my favorites this season! -Jeff
There were so many reasons why I was so excited to be a part of this wedding. Lauren and I met each other in Middle School and had the pleasure of sharing a few classes together. One day, for some reason, we decided to give each other nicknames. I called her Jesse and she called me Bob. The names stuck. We went our separate ways in high school and college, but kept in contact once in a while. When she got engaged I was beyond thrilled to learn that she was interested in having me capture their day. Getting to go back home to New Jersey is always nice. And this time, it was like a five-year reunion! Henry + Lauren were married on Sandy Hook, one of my favorite spots back home. Their day was filled with so much emotion, from tears to laughter. And to say that this was a fun and energetic group of friends would be an extreme understatement. Trust me, they all know how to have a good time. I was so thankful to be part of this day and getting to reconnect with so many people was amazing. Here are some of my favorite photos from the day! -Jeff
Over the years, I've had the honor of getting to know Drew + Bethany. I don't think there's a person in this world that would say that these two weren't one of the nicest couples on this planet. I got to know Drew through walk in love. and the first thing you notice when you talk to Drew is that he cares about what you have to say. His excitement for others is invigorating. And to be honest, Bethany is just the same. On their wedding day, the weather changed about twelve times. From sunny, to overcast, to sunny, to rain, to sunny, to overcast... you get the idea. But Drew + Bethany didn't let it affect what their day was all about. I heard some of the best speeches ever at their wedding, seeing first-hand how loved they are. And Bethany swears that when she first saw Drew, she knew he was the one. Her testimony was awesome! I was so thankful to have been able to photograph their day with my wife Liz. Here are some of our favorites! -Jeff
John + Lauren's wedding was nothing short of stunning. I always enjoy shooting at The Farm at Eagle's Ridge and it really was the perfect location for John + Lauren's big celebration. But, back to everything being stunning for a second... seriously. It was. Her shoes. Her dress. The flowers. The food. The girls. THE WEATHER! Everything! It makes me so happy when brides really know their style and use awesome vendors to make everything happen!
A big thanks to John + Lauren for allowing Kristen and myself to be a part of your day! It was awesome! Be sure to leave comments with your favorite images and share with your friends! -Brooke
