Gotta love family!

By Sam

A few months ago I meet up with these sweet girls, Abby and Karly, and their cousins for their annual Camp day. They gather together to enjoy arts and crafts, field trips, etc. hosted by Abby and Karly’s parents. It is a family affair. This year they even got shirts made up!

Karly is on the left and was 6 months old at the time and Abby had just turned 3.

Karly is such a happy baby. She wouldn’t stop smiling for me. Here she is goofing with her mama.

That must have been one yummy shirt. :)

Ben & I LOVE this photo. Definitely a favorite. Canvas maybe?

Ok, the one of the right might actually be my favorite. She was loving that play tunnel.

There is just something about Gracie’s expression in the below photo and the movement in it that I just love. Ah, to be two again!

We had fun playing in some leaves. Camden is such a sweetheart.

Baby toes!

Baby belly!

I had so much fun working with this group. So many different personalities and age ranges. Thanks for letting me be apart of your annual Camp!

Christie & Jayson Engagement

By Sam

We are so excited to introduce you to this couple. They are amazing people and so much fun to work with. We love photographing people in love!  They were naturals in front of the camera – made our job easy!
We were so fortunate that we picked a Fall day that felt more like Summer. We hit up two local spots, Bisset Park and Radford University for a fun filled session.

Sam’s favorite on the right.

Here we are at Radford University. The sunlight was awesome that day! You two look great together.

Is that not the most beautiful sky you have ever seen?  We’re a little biased, but Ben and I think that Southwest Virginia consistently has the most beautiful sunsets around.

Ben’s favorite.

The picture on the right makes me want to find a beautiful fall day…and a park bench…and someone I love :)

Jen & Brian – Part 2

By Sam

More awesomeness from Jen and Brian’s wedding.

Handsome! and off the market! :)

That’s the Harrisburg skyline in the background. We could have shot here all day. Everything was just perfect at this location…the sky, the water, the boat, the couple….GREAT suggestion guys!

The guys on their way to the next photo op. Very GQ.

A little alley action is always a must when shooting downtown.

Jen and all her beautiful bridesmaids in front of the Pennsylvania State Capital building in Harrisburg.

A little fun around the back of the capital in front of the PINK foundation. Harrisburg dyes the foundation behind the capital pink in October for Breast Cancer Awareness month. Who knew?!

JB_1979_2223_blog

Doesn’t this photo just make you want to break into song? “Wishin’ and hopin’ and thinkin’ and prayin’ plannin’ and dreamin’ each night of his charms……” Ok, maybe just me.

Awesome shoes. Check. Awesome socks. Check. GORGEOUS bride and groom. Check and Check.

The bridal party staging room was down that hallway where the catering staff was rushing around.  Ben caught these two darlings trying to catch a sneak peak of the bride and groom before they made their grand entrance.

JB_2798_blog

My favorite on the right. I LOVE first dances.

Brian worked that garter like a pro! I think everyone was impressed. :)

JB_3902_blog

Jen & Brian did the coolest thing at their reception, instead of them just kissing whenever anyone clinked their glasses they instead had the DJ draw a couples name out of a bowl and that couple had to kiss and Jen & Brian would mimic it. There was some pretty funny ones. This was one of the sweetest moments.

Congratulations to Jen and Brian!  You guys rock!

Thanks for letting us share your day with you.

Jen & Brian – Part 1

By Sam

We traveled up to our hometown of Hershey, PA for the wedding of Jen & Brian. We really couldn’t have asked for better weather. Bright blue sunny skies! We had similar weather for their engagement session we did a couple of weeks prior to their big day (those photos coming soon!).

For Jen it was a whirlwind of hair and makeup in the morning with the much appreciated mimosa to calm any nerves. Isn’t Jen just a stunner! Fierce!

JB_combine01

How gorgeous are those earrings!

JB_0521_new_blog

Meanwhile the men where hanging out at the hotel swapping stories and getting ready. As a gift to all of his groomsmen, Brian got them all matching argyle socks from Banana Republic. Aren’t they great!

JB_0358_blog

The church had some crazy beautiful light coming in through the stained glass windows!   Fun fact – each of the 7 windows in the church depicts an artists rendering of the 7 sacraments.

JB_1101_new

Notice the bow and rosary in Jen’s bouquet. I love all the little details that were put into each and every aspect of their day.

JB_1185_blog

Jen, your eyes definitely have the stained glass beat for most gorgeous blue in this shot.  Hello handsome bride and groom!

JB_1238_blog

The priest’s homily was not only touching but funny. It was perfect.

Married.  This one makes me smile every time I look at it. :)
