I have known Colleen for a seriously long time — like basically since we could walk. She and I attended the same church together where we grew up and lived in Palmyra so we went to school together through graduation. And well, if you don’t live in Palmyra, let’s just say that it’s a pretty small town where you pretty much can’t NOT know someone, especially if they are in your grade! If you’re a numbers person, I’ll tell you that there were only just over 100 kids in our graduating class, so I think you understand now just how small we are talking. 

Needless to say, I was really excited when Colleen reached out about needing a photographer for her wedding in 2015. It’s so great getting to meet new clients but it’s also kind of fun to have the opportunity to work with someone you have known for years. They are actually the best of both because Adam didn’t go to our high school so it’s been a lot of fun getting to know him and see how the two of them complement one another.

When Colleen asked if I would be up for shooting at Adam’s private farm, I replied with an all resounding, “YES!”. Too often I find myself shooting in the same places, which isn’t a bad thing, but it is extra fun when I get to switch it up a bit. The property was huge and filled with everything imaginable: rustic barns, cornfields, bridges, and huge trees. Oh and just down the road there was a lake surrounded by all things fall — just wait til you see it! Their new puppy, Ellie, even joined us for a few shots and let me say, she is just the cutest!

I am beyond excited to be shooting their wedding back home in Hershey next summer… if our session was any indication, it should be pretty amazing!!
