As we were walking out for Sarah & Jason’s First Look, I couldn’t help but sarcastically comment to Sarah, “I’m not sure if you’re happy & excited enough. You might want to take it up a notch.” I was completely kidding of course because Sarah was literally giggling & squealing in delight. Nothing could wipe the...
I love listening to wedding day toasts. There is something so magical when the closest friends of the bride & groom talk about the bride & groom. The best toasts involve a little bit of thought, at least one funny story (or two), and make everyone in the audience tear up. In total there were four...
Debbie & Kevin were planning a Christmas wedding. They had been dating for about 2 years and they knew that a wedding & marriage were in their future. No official proposal had happened yet, but both agreed that they thought they’d like to wait until the holidays to plan a unique, snowy, twinkle-light filled wedding. That...
Wedding Photography Custom USB. I am all about giving my KAP Couples freedom with their photos! I’ve built my business around what I wanted when choosing my own wedding photographer, and my number one request was to have the digital images. I wanted the freedom to be able to go back & look through my photos over...
I am so excited to share that Kyle & Joe’s wedding has been featured on Rustic Wedding Chic today! You’ll probably remember Kyle & Joe’s remarkable, rustic (and rainy – HA! See what I did there?) wedding from last summer! It stands out in my mind as one of the most laid back & relaxed weddings I...

[…] Last Saturday I photographed my first “destination” wedding – it was literally a dream. Everything went perfectly (which is odd for a wedding day) and everything was so beautiful. I had a blast with Sarah & Jason – their wedding highlight blog was posted here: Sarah & Jason’s Christmas in July Chautauqua Lake Wedding. […]
One of the things I saw as quite fitting is you could see the tents from the adjacent Boy Scout Camp, Camp Merz, from the site where the ceremony was held. For 5 summers and a spring break and possibly winter break, Jason worked at the Boy Scout camp near his home. I thought that was a fantastic coincidence as he is an Eagle Scout and has put so much into scouts. Sarah would come every summer, with her brother, so visit him at camp once they started dating.
Aww that’s so sweet!! What a fun little detail to have in there that couldn’t have been planned! I love that!
[…] to Berlin, OH for a weekend. We had a quick overnight trip to Mayville, NY (where I photographed a wedding), we visited Derrick’s cousins in Washington DC one weekend, and Derrick & I got away for my […]
