Colin + Mary are getting married this fall at the stunning Elizabeth Furnace in Lancaster. We had a gorgeous spring evening touring their venue and taking their engagement photos this past April! You’ve seen these two on my page often, and will probably continue to see more of them. They are some of my favorite […]

We’ve been waiting for this day for a long time. Luke asked Grant and me if we could photograph his proposal to Emily without her knowing! They wanted updated couple’s photos, so it seemed like the perfect time to snap some pictures of their special moment. And in the mountain surrounded by fog, it was […]
