Great Oak Manor Wedding | Maryland Wedding Photographer | Jessica + Cole

Jessica and Cole’s wedding at Great Oak Manor was gorgeous!! I had never shot at their venue before, so I got there early to explore and it is gorgeous! there are so many beautiful spots for photos, right on the Chesapeake bay! Maryland weddings are some of my favorite because of the setting. Jess put so much work into all the details and planning, and you can tell!

Taylor and Chris’s gorgeous Historic Shady Lane Wedding was one for the books. Historic Shady Lane is one of my favorite wedding venues and I love shooting there, so when Taylor asked me to shoot her wedding, I was over the moon excited! So many incredible vendors came together for their wedding and it was perfect. Taylor and Chris lived in Colorado at the time, so Taylor completely trusted her vendors to make the day happen. Between the florals, mismatched bridesmaid dresses, and the grooms green suit, everything came together perfectly for their boho glam wedding.

When my friends Lexi and Dre asked me to shoot their Promise Ridge elopement, I was over the moon! I had been following them for a while and have been wanting to shoot there. Promise Ridge is a gorgeous venue set in the Pocono mountains that specializes in elopements and micro weddings. So if you are wanting to elope in Pennsylvania, here are some ideas! Lexi and Dre eloped in front of the Living Wall at Promise Ridge, and with the leaves changing colors around them, it couldn’t be more perfect.

Alexandra and BJ had a beautiful Excelsior Wedding in Lancaster, PA! Excelsior is one of my favorite venues since it is in Downtown Lancaster. Alex and BJ’s wedding was gorgeous and classic. It was supposed to rain that day, and did for about 5 minutes and held off the rest of the day! Alex and BJ incorporated so many fun things throughout their wedding. Alex is Polish, so there were a couple of those traditions sprinkled throughout the day. They also had a live band and midnight snacks! You could tell that Alex and BJ cared about their guests experience, and it was all so fun!!

This past spring I got to photograph a beautiful Rock Lititz wedding! Julie and Bobby were such a fun couple, and their wedding day showed that too! Going into the day, I knew  it would be fun because we had a bunch of mutual friends, some were in the wedding party! Their wedding was the first at Rock Lititz, so getting to capture that was amazing. I hope to be back there more next year!

When I was first starting my business, I photographed a lot of backyard weddings. Because of that, they have such a special place in my heart.

The wedding took place at the grooms parents house under their willow tree, and it was so dreamy!

In June I got to photograph the most beautiful wedding at Smoker Farms in Lancaster, PA. This wedding has a special place in my heart. The bride is my cousin Makayla and her now husband Kyle! I was an emotional wreck the whole day. The day was so perfectly them. It was all so simple and beautiful. The day was based around their marriage and love, and you could see how happy they were happy to just be married.

They gave their florist free range to do whatever she wanted, and in return got the most beautiful arrangements of subtle, yet colorful wildflowers! The arch at their ceremony spot was covered in greenery and pretty pink flowers, and really popped against the beautiful field backdrop behind them.

I’m not sure what else to say because it was just so perfect and emotional, so here are photos to show that. Hahaha

For Katie and Levi’s engagement session we decided to head to the Hershey Hotel. I hadn’t been there for years and forgot how beautiful the property was! Katie and Levi were amazing to work with and so incredibly sweet. Their love for each other just bubbles over and it makes me so happy. I couldn’t stop smiling while editing their session. I can’t wait for their wedding next year at the Peter Allen House!
