Their wedding was at the beautiful Historic Hotel Bethlehem, and to say I was nervous and intimidated was an understatement. Adrianne and Jarrett and their amazing families were wonderful and totally put me at ease. They are seriously the nicest people on earth. The day was perfect, filled with love and laughter and an Elvis impersonator!
I am so thankful that I have continued to be a part of their lives, photographing both of their little girls' dedications and keeping in touch. I absolutely love my couples and love following along as their families grow.
"Do you do wedding photography?"
I had always wanted to shoot weddings, but was so afraid to take the plunge. It seemed so scary and so much responsibility. Up until this moment, I was just content doing family sessions. Christina put me at ease and we hit it off, she wanted me to shoot her most important day of her life! I spent the next few months learning as much as I could about wedding photography, meeting with the venue and with Christina & Mike. The big day came, and with butterflies in my stomach, I shot my very first wedding.
It was June of 2010.
I loved all of it, working with the couple, their families and friends. Meeting new wedding professionals and being a part of something huge. Creating a beautiful timeline of their most amazing day. I never looked back, over the next year, I worked hard to upgrade my equipment, learn as much as I could, attend workshops and market myself as a wedding photographer.
I will forever be grateful to Christina and Mike who put their trust in me.

It was evident how loved these two are by everyone in the room. Their reception was filled with personal details and glimpses into their relationship. ArtsQuest was the perfect venue for these two Bethlehem, PA natives!
Congratulations Matt & Martha, I loved being a part of your day!
I had the pleasure of getting to know them during their engagement session. Their love of softball was incorporated into their session and we had a great time catching some candids. Their wedding was nothing short of perfect.
They picked an amazing venue, Riverview Country Club. Every detail was thought of and the day was flawless.
I loved being a part of their day and capturing this amazing part of their journey.
Congratulations JC & Alison!!
Crazy right? Luckily, we were able to warm up a little at the beautiful
Historic Hotel Bethlehem.
The hotel was still decorated for the holidays and it looked amazing!
Congratulations to Sam & John, I am so excited for their 2016 wedding!

I get so excited for this day, it's always bittersweet.
As I look back at the previous years, I miss those little faces
and little hands that once fit so sweetly in mine.
This year in particular, they have all changed so much.
I am so proud of the young ladies that they are turning into,
but would give anything for time to just slow down a bit...
I look forward to continuing this tradition, as long as they will allow me :)

I loved capturing Lilly's personality and her love for music.
Remember this face, it will be famous one day!

I was so glad when she emailed me to set up her family session!
To say I got my workout in, is an understatement.
This little one had me chasing!

Kelly & Tim will say their I Do's in a few months at the Beautiful Bear Creek Resort!
Both being Lehigh University Alums, this location was very special to them.
Their wedding was full of little personal details, including Sarah's parents' cake topper on their wedding cake
and her grandmother's broches on her bouquet.
It was a beautiful celebration full of friends and family
and the two of them could not have been happier.
Congratulations Sarah & Sean!
So this was totally another PKS (Photographer's Kid Syndrome).
My little ones found these vintage dresses at an antique store last week
while I was looking for some cute props.
They insisted we buy them and style a shoot.
I wasn't complaining.
PS, I don't pose them, they do all this on their own...
See below for all the info and email me at [email protected] to reserve your spot!
The snow is finally melting, and I can actually see grass, yes it's kind of gross and not vey green and pretty, but I am hopeful that in the next fe weeks it will all be just right! It's time to get your Spring time slot scheduled and get those family pictures updated! I am so looking forward to exploring some new locations with you and also seeing how much the kiddos have changed. Do you have yours scheduled yet? Call or email me today!
Warm thoughts,
Janet
