An Intimate Delaware Wedding

On May 24th, 2020, Mike and Sarah exchanged their wedding vows. An intimate Delaware wedding was not something either of them would have anticipated three months ago. The original plan was a Texas wedding with all of their closest family and friends present. Unfortunately, Covid-19 dictated something different. I know that the last couple of […]

The Kwanzan Trees of Tilton Park      These days, as COVID-19 continues to keep us at a distance in Delaware, I have to satisfy my photographer urge to be behind the camera with still life in and around my house.  Or my family.  (But they haven’t given in to many of my photo pleadings […]

Hyatt Place Wilmington Riverfront 1920s Event

Last week’s ribbon cutting event at Delaware’s new Hyatt Place on the Wilmington Riverfront was a blast. The Riverfront Events team planned a 1920s style celebration – feathers, pearls, black & gold, and Gadsby era costumes.

Longwood Gardens Engagement Session

Last weekend on a slightly rainy Sunday, I got to meet Sophia and David for the first time. I typically always meet my clients BEFORE their engagement session, however, these two live out of state which made meeting earlier impossible. Prior to this session, I previously had only enjoyed a phone conversation with Sophia. It […]
