Before I start doing weddings I often read horror stories on how awful and difficult some couples can be to work with.. it honestly scared me a little bit when I first read about them. But you know what? That has not been my experience! In fact, it’s pretty much been the opposite. I often tell people how blessed I am to be working with some of the coolest brides and grooms on the planet.
I met Matt & Jenn through Wes & Betsy, another super cool couple whose wedding I shot in March. Matt is Betsy’s big brother. They’re getting married in 3 weeks, and a month ago they drove up to Lancaster to do their engagement session. Starting from my first shot I could really tell that this is a really fun couple!
We started at Lancaster County Park, one of my favorite places to shoot.. I mean, I can shoot these all day!
When I first learned photography I would ask around “what’s the secret to a great image?” and the answer I always got was “light.” Not the amount of light, but the quality of it. It took me a while to grasp that, but when I finally did, it was like a switch turned on inside. This, is perfect light.
One of my favorite of the day.. captures perfectly who they are.
I just love how Matt can playfully interacts with Jenn, and then on the next second do something like this..
Easily another one of my favorite..
Matt: “Can we get a running picture?”
Me: “Excuse me?”
Matt: “Running picture. All my friends have running pictures on their engagement photos so it becomes sort of a running joke.”
Me: “Well, lets better make it as cheesy as it can then.”
Here you go, Matt.
We then left the park and walk around Downtown lancaster..
Matt & Jenn, I hope you guys enjoy these pictures as much as I do capturing them. You guys are so much fun, and I’m so looking forward to your wedding in a few weeks!
These photos are amazing! I love that we really see the chemistry between the two of them! I will keep you in mind if I ever need a photographer!
Matt,
So happy for you old roommate buddy! Looks like you found an awesome girl. These are some totally beautiful pictures.
What a handsome couple…your happiness is captured in every shot. Oh yes…18 days.
You guys are so happy together. I hope that your happiness last forever and ever. Jen, you are such a beautiful girl inside and out.
and yes Matt is a very handsom guy too. Can’t wait for the wedding.
