I have a lot that needs posting, but this is one I’ve been meaning to do for a while!  Below you’ll find some more of the love between Marina and Matt.  We’re getting super excited for their May 28th wedding at Riverdale Manor…  can’t wait to share in their special day with them!

Enjoy the smiles!

You may remember Marina for the bridal shower fiesta, so below is a familiar face!  Matt and Marina will officially tie the knot May 28th and we really wanted to get an engagement session in before then!  We were all able to sync our calendars to meet for an pre-wedding engagement session last Sunday and it’s time for me to show off some of my extended family members!  Marina is my husband’s cousin so this wedding is getting the extra special treatment!  There are a ton of favorites from the session and I’ll try to keep this post within reason…

We started at the Lancaster County Central Park – one of my favorite places to shoot.  I love the outdoors and I love the options the park provides.  Rockford Plantation is a local favorite, not only for history buffs but for weddings!  Check it out if you’re planning a wedding!  Okay, enough chit-chat…  enjoy a few images!

This should probably be my ending shot, as it looks AMAZING on my blog!  You guys are so freaking cute together!

Gorgeous!

I love capturing the “fun” couples have!

Change of venue…

Trees, trees and more trees!

After we had enough of the grass and trees we headed downtown for a few shots in the city!  Matt’s the county boy and Marina is the city girl – we had to be sure to incorporate both aspects of their lives in this shoot!

Classic downtown Lancaster shot!

I was so ready to join them!  It’s the beginning of May and we were all ready to jump in the pool!  It ended up being rather warm!  Good thing we started early!

I had so much fun with these two, I can’t wait for their wedding day!  Not only are they going to be a beautiful couple I know they’re going to have a fantastic day together and having the privileged of capturing the memories means the world to me!

Matt and Marina – enjoy the next few weeks and all the final prep for your big day!  It’ll be here before you know it!  Get ready to enjoy the best day of your life (up to now) and I’ll see you on the 28th!

I’m back again!  How about another post?

Remember a while back I teased you a little with shots from my session with Jenna and Justin?  You might remember the bench series I posted.  Well it’s time for more images from their session.  If you missed the previous shout-out to Justin and Jenna you may not know how extra special this session was.  Jenna is my sis-in-law…  and Justin in my soon-to-be… bro-in-law-in-law?  Well regardless, they are both very special to me and thought it would be fun to do some engagement photos with me!

We spent some time at Lancaster County Park - a great place for portrait sessions.  There are so many various places to explore with just a short drive around the park.  We started at Rockford, one of my favs and then headed toward the covered bridge.

Time for some photos.  Let’s start with a few classic shots.  Nothing fancy, just mom-approved!

I love this next shot!

I love seeing how happy two people can be together.  If you know Justin you can only imagine what happened just moments before this capture to spark Jenna’s reaction.  Regardless I LOVE IT!

I have a lot of fun with this doorway and have captures some great shots in it.

Working with Justin I knew to be ready for anything at just about any moment!  This is just a sample of the “fun”…

This was Justin’s idea and I really didn’t think Jenna would go for it…  but she did!  My next goal is to talk them into dressing back up after the wedding and having some more fun like this…

This is Jenna’s Favorite

One of my favs…

This is one of Justin’s favorites and the one I think we might be blowing up for the wall…  it’s going to look great in their living room as a gallery wrap.  It’s also a great image to end the blog with.

Congrats again Jenna and Justin!  You two are a true joy to be around and I’ll gladly take your photos any time!
