ENGAGEMENT - Ron + Natasha, Black Moshannon State Park

After seeing us in action at their good friends’ wedding, Ron & Natasha were excited to book us for theirs! Ron was a groomsman in his buddy’s wedding, but this time around, he was the main focus of our cameras for this engagement shoot…him and his beautiful bride-to-be ;) Seven years together and you can still see that twinkle in their eyes for each other!

ENGAGEMENT - Kurt + Kristen, Cook Forest PA

This engagement shoot had a special touch to it, as we photographed a couple we loved working with nearly 10 years ago, in the same location (the trails & bridges of Cook Forest), with the SAME prop (a fun & flirty red heart umbrella!) We shared so much laughter and joy with Kurt & Kristen during this shoot =) Here Sam & I are, 17 years in, still loving what we get to do and WHO we get to do it with!

ENGAGEMENT - Sean + LeeAnn, Ellicottville NY

We are always up for traveling & exploring a new location for our engagement shoots! For their session, Sean & LeeAnn brought us out to the covered bridge where he proposed! The fresh fallen snow made for a gorgeous backdrop by the bridge. And the streets of the adorable little town of Ellicottville were perfect for a stroll hand-in-hand!

ENGAGEMENT - Darrin + Brittany, DuBois PA

For our first photo shoot of 2023, we got to enjoy a sunny (and windy) Winter day capturing the love & laughter between Darrin & Brittany. A little fancy in an elegant dress down on the docks (still rocking the boots!), then they relaxed with a fun & flirty snowball fight, and ended by busting out the guitar for some sweet serenading shots <3 When we were planning their shoot, Brittany said: “Sometimes Darrin plays his guitar for me and I fall in love with him all over again!“, so I knew their photo shoot needed its own guitar solo ;)

ENGAGEMENT - Zac + Leah - Point State Park, Pittsburgh

It’s always fun to explore new areas for engagement shoots (especially gorgeous ones like Point State Park), but it’s even more fun to hang out with and capture photos of FUN hike-trailing, book-loving couples like Zac + Leah! (Fun Fact, if you spot it, Zac proposed in Kane!) We have different themes to our sessions and one of them is called “Goofy + Giggly”…check out the last photos below, NAILED IT! hahaha

ENGAGEMENT - Andrew + Sarah

Sam & I love exploring new locations with our couples, it’s so inspiring for us and what we see through our lens…golden hour in a field, a sunset peeking through the trees, and an evening stroll creekside! We ALSO love brainstorming prop ideas with our couples to add that personal touch to the session. Sarah brought red roses, just like Andrew did on their first date! Plus the leather album that Andrew gave on her birthday that he used for a surprise proposal <3 So romantic!

ENGAGEMENT - Dustin + Elizabeth

Sometimes a photo shoot is well worth the wait! For Dustin & Elizabeth’s session, we not only had to reschedule due to quarantine, but also because all the barber shops were closed and Dustin, understandably, didn’t want the hair of a hippy for photos ;) But what did all that rescheduling mean? These gorgeous flower bushes were in full bloom for our shoot! Along with a beautiful Spring day, complete with sunshine, blue skies, and white fluffy clouds. All the stunning scenery these two were hoping for!

Todd April - Engagement Session

Well these two are just the sweetest =) You'd swear they were from the South with their charming demeanor ;) I mean within days of their Session, Sam & I received a crafted, handwritten thank you note from April sharing how much she loved their photos!...

"Rachel & Sam,
Todd and I can't thank you enough for our engagement photos! You guys made it such a fun day and the photos are absolutely stunning. Now we really can't wait for the big day! We wouldn't want anyone else to capture these memories.
           Thanks again! ~ April & Todd"
