Jess + Lizzie | NYC Elopement

NY City Hall just became one of my all time favorite places. I'm pretty sure I could sit there all day and just observe all the excited couples in love while they anticipate their turn to exchange vows. Jess and Lizzie were actually married last January and didn't hire a photographer for their elopement and over time, it became apparent to them that they should have. So, in the sweetest gesture possible, Jess brought me to NYC to recreate their day all over again as an anniversary present for Lizzie. And you guys, it was so much fun, even with the unexpected and super crazy bomb cyclone that kept us indoors most of the time. Despite it being an eventful day, these two were incredible. 

Jess and Lizzie, thank you so much for bringing me to NYC. I wish you love and so much happiness.

Sabrina + Banu | Phipps Conservatory Anniversary Session

There is something so sweet about being able to dress up all over again and reminisce about your wedding day for your anniversary, it makes my sappy romantic heart turn to mush. Sabrina and Banu were married last year in Virginia and wanted to do something special for their first anniversary and unseasonably warm weather gave us the most beautiful day to shoot outside of Phipps Conservatory and the Carnegie Museum. These two have the most light-hearted sense of humor and the sweetest of loves.

Sabrina and Banu, thanks so much for letting me take your portraits again, I hope you have so many amazing adventures together in your new home of Chicago!

Amy + Nate | Indiana Maternity Session

I had such an incredible time with Amy and Nate's session. We met at an old Christmas tree farm they purchased to build their future home on and it was perfect. While we were shooting, we had a beautiful scenic view, deer leaping across the property behind us, and the most breathtaking  golden hour I've ever seen. They were so much fun and have so much love, I have no doubt that these two will make amazing parents. Amy and Nate, thank you for such a lovely day together and congratulations on your new little baby boy!

Katerina & Umut | Pittsburgh Elopement

In the sweetest little ceremony, Katerina and Umut said their vows in front of a few family and friends at Frick Park right above the same spot where Umut proposed. Meeting at a Tango event when they were in college, it was only appropriate that they did a Tango as their first dance together right after the ceremony. The one thing I can say about these two is that they have the sweetest kind of love and you could see it in every glance, every touch, and every playful joke they had for each other. Their elopement is one of my absolute favorites to date because they weren't afraid to get a little adventurous, to be a little silly, and to fully be themselves.

Katerina and Umut, I am so grateful that I was able to be a part of your day and I wish you many years of happiness together.
