ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY
As we were getting ready to leave the bridal suite to head up to the first look, a lot was going on. Last minute touches were being put on bridesmaids’ hair and makeup, friends and family members were coming and going with decor and details, bouquets were being passed out, the weather forecast was being...
I can’t lie: the story of how Louis proposed to Nikai is one of my absolute favorite proposal stories. And I bet once you hear the story, you’ll agree with me! About 2 years after meeting each other that amazingly fateful night in Connellsville, PA, Louis decided it was time to propose to Nikai. His 30th...

That way, as soon as their wedding photos were delivered, we jumped straight into the album-design-process! Within just a few weeks, I was meeting up with them and handing off these beautiful, custom-designed, heirloom albums (they had one made for April’s parents too – but I’ll talk more about that later!)
