A State College, Pennsylvania engagement on a perfect spring evening. After a chilly spring, it was a GLORIOUS evening for a State College, Pennsylvania engagement session. The golden sun came out to warm us at just the right times. Freshly cut grass and springtime blooms scented the air. As we walked along the path through […]

We pulled up to Speedwell Forge Lake in Pennsylvania for Renee and Brad’s engagement session, and the only car in the parking lot was a pick up truck with two green kayaks loaded up in the bed. If Renee hadn’t told me what to expect, I might’ve assumed these two hadn’t arrived yet. But, those […]

More and more, couples are choosing to get a book of their engagement photos printed in a guest signature book. Less and less we see cutesy Pinterest ideas for keeping guest’s signatures at weddings. Why? Here are three good reasons: 1. Using your engagement photos in a guest signature book preserves your guests’ love notes […]

Colyer Lake, Pennsylvania. A pristine place for an engagement session. What a GORGEOUS spot, and to think it was almost lost several years ago due to expensive dam repairs (if history interests you, you can read more about the history of Colyer Lake here). Thankfully, the PA Fish and Boat commission, along with a group […]

College. Matchmaking since…well…since college was a thing. Tessa and Tyler both attended Lebanon Valley College, and when they met at a party their junior year it was the beginning of everything. Soon after making their relationship “official”, they attended the Fire and Ice Festival in Lititz, PA–a free festival with live music, a carnival, and […]

By the time Dan and Marie were finished with their engagement session, flour clung to the beam in the ceiling and we were slipping in it. But oh man, the results were good, and I’m not just talking about the pizza. This […]

They met in Little Rock, Arkansas–a new city for both of them. Nick had just begun his C-130 pilot training, and Jules had just moved there for her first nursing job. No friends (minus their new co-workers), no family. No connections. How do you even start meeting people? Both decided to give online dating a […]

He walked through the doors of her office. She just happened to be manning the front desk that day. They exchanged smiles as Chelsea escorted Craig and his boss to her employer’s office. The intention for the visit was a tour and a meeting between the two organizations about how they could work together, but […]

He was the sports editor. She was a metro reporter. Their desks were just a few spaces apart at the office of Penn State’s student newspaper, The Daily Collegian. Naturally, that led to conversations, G-chats, and hanging out at office parties. Then, Kevin got up the nerve to ask Mandy to watch “V for Vendetta” […]

She was his friend’s sister. He was her brother’s friend. They had a lot of friends in common in their hometown of Hollidaysburg, PA, and a friendship blossomed into romance. They moved to McLean, Virginia for her teaching job and his job in finance. One cold December evening, they went to dinner in downtown Washington, […]
