Haley & Kaitlyn 10.25.24

It is not every often I get to do the photo-thing but I had the honor of capturing Haley & Kaitlyn’s wedding a few weeks ago.

This was a beautiful, highly emotional and sentimental day to say the least! They chose a small Friday afternoon ceremony at Preston Park in Butler, PA at the peak of fall foliage. This park was the site of Haley & Kaitlyn’s second date where they walked and talked for hours, and a spot that they visit together as often as possible! To end the day, Haley & Kaitlyn exchanged heartfelt, handwritten, deeply personal vows (including a sneaky Taylor Swift lyric) surrounded by their family, at the edge of a still and quiet pond. It was such a perfect day; the venue, the vows, and most of all the couple.

I must admit, this wedding was a special one for me! Haley and I have been friends for nearly 20 years (we met in elementary school 😅) so getting the opportunity to capture their day meant so much!

Fall weddings are always my favorite, the golden color palettes add such a warm feeling to the images. While editing, I was reminded of a line from Daylight by Taylor Swift that I think fit these pretty well - I once believed love would be (black and white), But it's golden (golden)

Congratulations, Haley & Kaitlyn! 💍

Another impressive accomplishment in the officiating ranks by a former RMU hockey player. This time it’s John Rey.

He’ll be a linesman in the upcoming IIHF Men’s World Junior Championship!

Is it really a hockey game if there isn’t a fight?

Miss my hockey content? You’re in luck! I am officially coming out of my sports media retirement to cover the RMU Celebrity Hockey Faceoff!

The hair, the fashion, the camera quality - all on point 👌🏼
We found an envelope of family photos from the late-60’s/early 70’s.

Sometimes being the family photographer can be kind of cool. After my grandfather passed last month I was given a box of photos to go through and in that box I found an envelope of photos dating back to 1919. Some of these are copies (of course lol). These are of my great-grandparents Chester and Erba C**n. I’m so lucky to come from a family that not only took photos but took the time to label them with names and dates. I can’t wait to see what else I find.

I know I don’t get to share the creative stuff I do at work very often but, lately, I’ve been working with gifs and videos at work and I’ve been having a lot of fun with it! This job has given me the opportunity to explore new areas and learn skills on the fly: editing videos, making gifs, reading & writing code, and writing copy. I definitely have some work to do but I’m having fun learning lol

Hey and , thanks for memories.
It’s hard to see these programs end. The experiences I had and the memories I made working with these teams mean more to me then I can ever say.

Assuming We Survive on Warped Tour 2018
My first time shooting a show and the last full Warped Tour. It was a bittersweet moment to say the least. I really miss live music and festivals. Can’t wait to get back out there and shoot soon!

Throwing it all the way back to 2014. My best friend of over 20 years is still one of my favorite models! She was such a good sport, walking around our hometown in the snow for this photoshoot. Still some of my favorite shots ☺️
