I will never forget when I FaceTimed Maggie and Bryan before they booked me. The excitement and joy they felt both for their wedding and for each other put me in the best mood. I think they have that effect on people and that’s why I wanted to be a part of their day! I felt like I had known them forever and that we were just old friends catching up. Because of that, I knew their engagement photos would be full of those same emotions and I couldn’t wait.

New brides are often saying that they love the emotions they feel I capture and I have to credit my couples for that!! I give them permission to be who they are and guide them into those poses but the fact that they have such a genuine and joyful love is something I can’t create myself and I couldn’t be more grateful for that quality all my couples share!! As cheesy as it is, it’s such a special thing to feel a couple’s love for one another and to be able to capture that with my camera. I can’t help but smile as I imagine them looking back on the photos many years from now.

Maggie and Bryan’s shoot took place at the beautiful Castle Hill Cider, a venue I adore, and we had the most perfect fall evening! We pretty much hit every single spot on the property and it just made me thankful to live in a place with the most gorgeous scenery. It makes shooting fun! 🙂 And fall is my favorite time to shoot so that helps too! Thanks to Castle Hill for letting us come out!! Hope everyone loves these and that they make you smile like they did me the entire time I was editing them! 🙂
