Hello and welcome to the new and improved blog! Have a look around and let me know what you think.

Today I also have an increeeedible wedding to show you. Seriously, I dare you to come up with a more beautifully detailed reception. I've been so some gorgeous receptions, but this was definitely takes the cake for the most attention to detail. It didn't hurt that the wedding also took place at the amazing National Christian Conference Center in Valley Forge, PA. Or that the wedding took place at the end of October where all the leaves are bright and falling to the ground. Or that the couple was Rebekah and Ken. These two have such a sweet friendship with each other. I think that's one of my favorite things about them. They are clearly in love, but also just hanging out and taking things as they come. This wedding was one of my favorites this year and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did shooting it!

One of my favorites of the day. Just LOOK at those leaves.

Many thanks to Ica for being the best traveling buddy and for getting so many great detail shots like these next four (and a bunch more at the end of this post).

Another favorite.

The ceremony took place in the sweetest little chapel. It was one room with no more than 30 pews and a teensy balcony.

These next two are some of the things that made this day the best. 1. There were sheep grazing in the cemetery beside the church.

2. There was a grumppy ring-bearer :)

I love how hard they are smiling in this photo. You can see all over their faces how happy they are.

And now, drum roll please........

The the most fantastic reception this earth has ever seen.

Crazy, right? And there's more!

There was also a cappuccino bar and all-out decorated buffet table ( fireplace included!) I dare you to handle so many details. I was in awe the entire reception.

Rebekah & Ken: Thank you for having me along on your most beautiful wedding day. I hope to see you both soon!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year blog world! I hope you had a lovely holiday. And apparently the first of January is a holiday as well so happy holiday again!

I have all sorts of things I can't wait to show you. If you are friends with me on Facebook you may have seen some of my photographs from this semester at college, but if not no worries. I plan on making a post of them here as well! And go ahead and friend me (or "Like" me as it's called these days) on Facebook while you're at it. ;)

First up is a beautiful wedding I photographed a few months ago when East Coast weddings were still outdoors. I really loved this wedding. Manymany thanks to Jewel Peach for assisting me. A few of the photos below are hers and she made the day a blast. Thanks, dear.

The wedding took place at the Belmont Conference Center in Elkridge and wow, as soon as I arrived I wanted to come back to shoot there again. I couldn't have asked for a more lovely day. Meredith (bride) was glowing in a beautiful strapless gown and Ben (groom) kept me laughing with his charming demeanor. This wedding was my first Jewish/Christian wedding and it was incredible! I really loved the traditional Christian elements in the ceremony and the amazingly beautiful and fun Jewish elements during the ceremony. Also, on a more somber note, Ben's father is a Holocaust survivor and I was brought to tears listening to him bless the couple during the ceremony. Honestly, it was just a beautiful day and I couldn't be happier for the couple.

Meredith's bridesmaids were so kind and cooperative. I'm happy with how these shots turned out.

Lookin' fine!

Meredith and Ben chose to have a "first look" beforehand because the ceremony was set to take place at sunset and there wouldn't be any light afterwards. Best decision ever. I love this moment between the two of them before all the guests arrived.

Gaaaah. So beautiful.

Can you time a better moment than this? I think not. I'm in love with this shot that Jewel got at the back of the aisle.

You can barely make it out here, but the junior bridesmaid has a tear running down her cheek.

Party time!!

Congratulations Meredith and Ben! I hope you have the most beautiful life together.

Stay tuned for two more weddings and a "Best of 2010" post coming soon! It's been a great year. Thank you all so much for visiting and supporting my photography. It means the world. Much love.
