Monday, December 12th, 2011Wedding in Radnor | Evan and Hilary
Saturday, October 22nd, 2011“I’m going to be entering the ceremony on a zipline,” Evan casually stated as we toured the venue a couple of months before the wedding. I hesitated for a half second. Both adventurous and hilarious, Evan’s the kind of guy who just could be serious when he says something like that. Hilary just smiled knowingly at his witty remark, and we continued on walking around the grounds.
Their wedding was beautifully simple. Nothing extravagant nor tied to traditions, but everything beautiful and classy. Many of the details came from local farms and stores, but more importantly, their day was simply a celebration. It felt like a big party that reflected who they are as we all came together to celebrate their marriage.
I am so genuinely happy for Evan and Hilary, and it was such an honor to be a part of their day. We’ve known them since college, and Rich even lived with Evan and some friends for a couple of months just before we got married. (There might be something in our history together about a LOST costume party, too. 
)
Evan and Hilary are such a beautiful couple, and I couldn’t be happier to see two friends uniting their lives together.
Evan had one of the girls deliver a letter he had written for her to read before the ceremony.
Evan and his groomspeople
They laugh together. A lot. 
Hilary is just the perfect pairing for Evan’s humor. I love how they can be goofy together.

A special thanks to my husband, who was not only my second shooter for the day (and he had quite a few shots make the blog :)), but my number one support and encourager. I couldn’t have done it without you!
Wedding in Limerick | Kyle and Dana
Monday, October 17th, 2011The most perfect fall day was before us, with golden sunshine and virtually no humidity. After weeks of heavy rain and flooding in Pennsylvania, it was a welcome respite from the dreary clouds. Dana started her day early with her girls by her side, nerves high while she anxiously prepared for this wonderful journey she had been waiting for. Kyle prepared himself in the simple way guys do, though nothing could quite prepare him for the beauty he was about to see.
Their paths converged at the park where they planned to have their first look, and as Kyle turned around to see his bride, his mouth literally dropped. As they took in this moment together, their nerves began to melt away, and they started their day simply enjoying the time together.
Kyle and Dana’s wedding was such a wonderful celebration of love and friendship for us, and it was such an honor to photograph their day for them. The first look, the vows, the sand ceremony (once they are combined, they are impossible to separate), and the celebration of the evening were some of the highlights for me. Kyle and Dana, blessings to you as you embark on this journey in a covenant relationship with each other. We love you both!
The First Look!
This was probably one of the most touching moments for me–when Dana and Kyle danced, along with their parents, both of whom have been married for many years. They danced to the song that Kyle’s parents danced to at their wedding 29 years ago. Such a beautiful moment.
