You know, things just sometimes don’t go to plan. These two just didn’t let anything get in their way for their wedding day, not Covid and especially not the mosquitos! Jeanette and Brian were married along side a handful of their family and friends in the woods behind their home. A small linen covered table […]

When a client asks you to travel to Allegheny State Park for their engagement session you reply “date and time!” You hop in your car and you go! Not only is Allegheny State Park a huge part of Elizabeth and Dave’s life, it’s mine too. It was a no brainer to take the trip to […]

This is not the first time I have photographed these two love birds. Marissa and I met through my niece, Olivia, years ago while they were pregnant with their first child together! We reconnected when Marissa and Gabe were expecting their little lady Lucca. Gabe claiming to be the “awkward one” he opted out of […]

What could be more exciting than a pop up wedding, beer and the Bills? If you don’t know than you are not from Buffalo, NY. Clearly. This adorable couple flew […]
