Engagement Session: McConnells Mill State Park
I started my business as a wedding photographer 13 years ago and while I’m mostly a portrait photographer these days, I relish the opportunity to photograph a few weddings each year.

This engagement session in Cranberry Woods was such a breath of fresh air. It is so sweet to spend time with a young couple in love and I think when you look through these images, you’ll feel lovey-dovey too!
One of my very favorite persons is getting married. I will try not to gush too much about my excitement for this union, but I can’t make any promises. My husband and I know this beautiful young lady from church and she has babysat our boys since they were babies. Getting to photograph her engagement session means so much to me.
Any time I know a couple from my church get engaged, I get a little giddy and feel the excitement I’ve felt for friends when I was a school girl. Which makes perfect sense when I think about it because church is really the school of life for believers. Anyway, this couple is so sweet, they’re infectious and I’m so excited to share their photos with you!
I’m a true-blue Pittsburgher, but my roots take me back to the Hershey and Harrisburg area, where fate introduced my mom and dad in the tenth grade. So my sister and I shared a lot of fond memories there, visiting my grandparents and cousins. Anyway, the sweetest little red-headed girl you ever saw is all grown up into a really lovely young woman and she’s getting married! So I was thrilled to spend the day photographing Ashley and Ethan, and I got to hang out with my other darling cousin (and Ashley’s maid of honor), Christina. She took her role as maid of honor seriously and did an awesome job of assisting us throughout the day!
Anyway, we started in the charming town of Anneville, where Ashley spent her college days at Lebanon Valley College. Ashley rented a tandem bike so they could pedal up and down the sidewalks there. She has such a great sense of style and awesome ideas, so we were off to a great start!
This isn’t your typical engagement session because we spent the whole day together and did four short sessions at different locations. Our next venture took us to Founder’s Hall at the Milton Hershey School.
Here’s one shot that I really love from this location. These two are so sweet together!
And last, but not least, this next collage includes shots of them fishing on the Susquehanna River and out on the town at City Island, on the Walnut Street Bridge.
Ashley and Ethan, I am so looking forward to your wedding next June! Thanks for an awesome day!
