I just can’t get enough of Gettysburg when it comes to the backdrop for photos. There’s so many options! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This couples reception venue didn’t offer a scenic outdoor area, so we decided to take a small detour and hit the battlefields instead! I’d say it was a great decision. 😍 
Y’all, it’s been a Monday from hell.💀 It’s officially 5 o’clock which means it’s time for a margarita! What’s your go to cocktail after a looooong day? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📸 taken while 2nd shooting with @lindsayandco.photo 
Let’s talk client consults! Whenever a client inquires with me, I ALWAYS suggest a consult, whether that’s face in person, Zoom, or a phone call. (In person is always my preference but ya know, pandemic.)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Why do I do this? 🤔 First and foremost, it’s a much more effective way to discuss details compared to email. You can also get to know my personality so much quicker! When clients inquire with me, they already know what my work looks like. I don’t have to sell you on my images, I am selling you on ME! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What kinds of things do we cover during a consult? Is usually start with asking about your proposal story! 💍 From there we discuss what wedding details you have so far, what’s important to you in terms of photography coverage, and any questions you have for me in regards to my package information and what it covers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ At the end of your consult, I NEVER let clients sign their booking paperwork then and there. Sounds counterintuitive right? But, I have a good reason for this! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I don’t let clients sign when we’re face to face because I never want someone to feel pressured into saying yes when they’re unsure. By emailing your booking paperwork after we meet, you have time to reflect and make sure you feel confident that I’m the photographer for you! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you’re down with my client consult process, I may be the photographer for you! I’m now booking for 2022/2023 and would love to talk with you! 💕 
Happy Easter from Apollo who somehow still puts up with me despite my annual holiday torture. 😂 Photo courtesy of @savannahsmithphoto 
It’s wedding day for Brittany and Andy!! So excited to spend the day with these two. 😍 
✨ When I dip, you dip, we dip ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That’s what’s going through my head every time I have my clients do this pose. My brain is about 90% song lyrics at all times.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ These two are getting an album delivery today, I can’t wait for them to see it! 😍

✨Wedding Tip Wednesday✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It is YOUR wedding, so whatever the heck you want! A lot of couples make wedding decisions based on what’s going to appease their family and friends. But here’s the thing... it’s not their wedding day and ultimately their opinions aren’t as important as your own. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When I got married, I had a hard time finding a dress. The one I ended up with was cream, but had a navy blue lace overlay. When I told my mom the dress wasn’t all white she about shit a brick. 😂 (Once she saw it she did get on board with it haha.) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Just because it’s “traditional” doesn’t mean you have to do it!! So the best wedding advice I can ever give is to DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ➡️ Swipe to see my wedding dress! 
Grooms getting ready don’t make it to the feed too often, but I love this shot. 😍 You know I am a sucker for an interesting mirror! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Taken while 2nd shooting with @lindeyandco.photo 
Wedding season officially kicked off over the weekend and I’m excited to be back in action for what is going to be the busiest wedding season of my career so far! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I missed weddings! Did not miss the wedding hangover the next day though. 😅 
I had this post scheduled today for “throwback Thursday” only to realize right before posting that it is in fact Friday. 🤦🏻♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So enjoy a flashback of this adorable couple from 2017. Shantelle was a bride ahead of her time, for sure! All of the fun details she had at her wedding went on to be huge wedding trends, like her floral hoop bouquet, her headpiece, and lanterns for her bridesmaids! 
It’s National Maryland Day, and what is more Maryland than Old Bay?! (hint: nothing) 
✨Wedding Tip Wednesday✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Rain on your wedding day. Try as you might, it’s just one of the things that you cannot control! But, rain does not have to be a bad thing. Here are some tips to make sure you still have the wedding you dream of. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1️⃣ Make sure you like both the outdoor AND indoor ceremony spaces for your wedding venue!! The most disappointment I’ve seen because of rain is due to the indoor ceremony space being lackluster/not what a couple envisioned. There are so many venues with beautiful options for both, so make sure you’re looking at both when you do your tour!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2️⃣ Clear umbrellas are you BFF. These bad boys are so cute, they photograph great, and will allow you to still get some portraits outside! I personally keep two in my car at all times, but it’s a great investment to grab them for your bridal party as well. (They also are always in demand, so reselling them on wedding websites is a breeze!)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3️⃣ Don’t be afraid to get a little wet! Rainy wedding photos can be so dreamy and romantic, think The Notebook scene where they’re kissing in the rain! You may not want to do this prior to the ceremony, but if your scheduled portrait time is after, totally going for it can lead to some amazing images!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Image taken while 2nd shooting with the amazing @lindsayandco.photo

Bigger sneak peek tomorrow, but I obviously could not wait to share at least one from tonight’s amazing engagement session!! It was so hard to choose just ONE of Isabela and Dennis, but how could I resist a foot poppin’ kiss at my favorite spot in Gettysburg with that gorgeous golden hour light?! 😍 
Erica and a Steve look at each other the way I’m about to be looking at my COVID vaccine! 😍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I feel so privileged and lucky to be able to get my first dose this morning. Working weddings and events is my passion and I love it, BUT I can’t say it hasn’t been stressful this last year. Even those with the best of intentions can’t keep things 100% safe for their guests of vendors. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today is not only important for myself, but it’s also important to ensure my future couples and clients are safe as well. 🙌🏼
