It was five years ago that it all began, when they were paired by random happenstance as lab partners in their analytical biochemistry lab at Millersville University. Sparks flew, and not just the science lab kind, and it wasn’t long before they started dating.

Several years later, they both found themselves in Philadelphia, choosing graduate schools just minutes apart. And so their love story continued as they walked by each other’s side, supporting one another in the pursuit of their dreams, and reminding each other in the midst of busy grad school schedules to make time for what truly matters most.

During his time at graduate school, Mitch spent much of his time taking pages of notes in class, studying for countless hours, and thinking about his future with Abby. ;) So while at a park in Philadelphia last June, he asked the woman that’d captivated his heart to be his wife. It was proceeded by a sweet book about their dating-years, and it was followed by the word “yes” repeated several times. And much rejoicing. :)

Their classy fairytale wedding day was everything Abby had ever dreamed of, and from the moment they danced into their reception at the Hamilton Club, love filled the room. It was a beautiful way of celebrating two of the kindest, truest hearts you’d ever find.

Mitch + Abby, you’re MARRIED! I loved every second of your day!! For as beautiful as your wedding day was, the most exciting thing is that the best is yet to come and I am so thrilled for you to spend the rest of your days by each other’s side. What an amazing adventure you’ve just begun! I hope you enjoy this summary of your special day! Xoxo!

Love me a fall wedding! ;)

As always, I am so thrilled when my couples opt to do a first look! They’re able to share such a sweet moment and we’re able to have so much more time for portraits! ;)








With Mitch + Abby’s busy graduate school schedules, we weren’t able to find a time to make their engagement session happen. However, you wouldn’t know it with these two… they were pro’s from the start! ;)
