Kristen+Ryan | Lehigh Parkway Engagement Session

I loved shooting this sweet engagement session for Kristen and Ryan. We met at the Lehigh Parkway Bridge in Allentown and took a walk around while chatting and getting to know each other. This was the first time we met in person, and it was wonderful to spend some time together.

I hope you will fall in love with this beautiful couple and their engagement photos!

I am so excited to be able to share my new behind-the-scenes video shot by the amazing Amy and Jim at Abominable Productions.

Here is a peek into my precious time with my couples and shooting their wedding portraits.

BIG thanks to Megan and Billy and Jo and Kevin for sharing with us their special moments.

{Chrissy+David} | Rose Garden Engagement Session | Allentown PA

Maggie J — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 12:28:17 +0000

Chrissy and David were the winners of an Engagement Session in one of the recent Lehigh Valley Bridal Shows. They are getting married in Chicago on July 2nd. I am not their wedding photographer, but I had such a wonderful time capturing these fun and tender moments for them at the Rose Garden in Allentown. As a couple, Chrissy and David are gentle and laid back. They are fun and up to anything I suggested…just perfect to work with. Even the heat and the abundance of bugs didn’t stop us from taking the time to walk around a bit and have a good time.

I hope you will enjoy these photos of Chrissy and David.

{Danielle+Tom} | Ambler PA Engagement Session

Danielle and Tom. Sweet. Laid back. Fun in a shy way. In love.

I loved shooting their engagement session at the Ambler Arboretum at the Temple Campus in Ambler, PA. It was a hot and humid day, but Danielle and Tom didn’t let the weather and the bugs “bug” them at all. They had big smiles to share and quiet yet fun personalities.

I hope you will love this session’s photos as much as I do. At the end, there is a fusion video. Fair warning… tissues might come handy.

{Emily+Paul} | Philadelphia Engagement Session

Emily and Paul are getting married on July 1st. I can’t wait for their special day. I am so grateful for and excited about the opportunity to be a part of it.

Now, I would like to share their engagement session. I met Emily and Paul in Philadelphia, where we walked through their favorite neighborhood. I loved every minute of it and thoroughly enjoyed their fun and laid back personalities.

But let me show you…I hope you will enjoy.

{Maha+Paul} | Allentown Weddings | The Palace

Maggie J — Wed, 25 May 2011 18:27:53 +0000

A couple in love. Fun wedding party. Lots of rain for good luck. The Palace in Allentown. Deep, saturated, gorgeous colors. Beautiful flower arrangements by Elie Floral Design. Great fun with Rob from Memories Unlimited Videos. Dance loving, beautifully dressed guests. Belly dancer. Awesome music. Bright lights. Yummy food.

I am sure this doesn’t fully describe the wedding of Maha and Paul. They are one of those couple you just can’t help but love. We had such a wonderful time being a part of their very special day. One of my most favorite moments, Paul’s dance with Maha. It was so full of emotion and love that I still get the goosebumps when looking at the photos.

Here is a slideshow video of their day. I hope you will enjoy as the story unfolds.

New Hope Wedding | Amanda + Gregory

Maggie J — Tue, 24 May 2011 19:49:27 +0000

I loved being a part of Amanda and Greg’s wedding day. Not only because I had the privilege to document their day for them, but also because they are one of those couples you just can’t help but love. Their emotional ceremony was followed by lots of fun and laughter on the ride to their beautiful wedding reception venue, Occasions of New Hope in New Hope, PA. Their wedding party was absolutely awesome. They were patient, fun, and most important, made Amanda and Greg laugh during their portraits. Later on, the father-daughter dance didn’t fail to bring tears to my eyes, and I enjoyed the festivities as all the guests celebrated Amanda and Greg’s marriage.

I hope you will enjoy their fusion wedding day slideshow as well as the photos.

Bridal Getting Ready | New Hope PA wedding

I want to share a few photos from my 2011 wedding. Amanda and Gregory were married on Friday, April 15th. I usually post photos from the whole day, but I just loved these bridal getting ready images.

Enjoy!

{Nicole+John} engagement session | Bethlehem, PA

Maggie J — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 21:05:30 +0000

I love shooting sessions in different locations. Going to downtown Bethlehem, PA, is one of my favorite choices. Nicole and John met me in front of the historic Hotel Bethlehem, PA. From there we took a short walk around the area for their engagement photo session.

Nicole and John are a sweet couple, getting married at the end of June. They are fun and very much in love. I enjoyed hearing the story of how they met and how much they are looking forward to their wedding day.

I hope you like the photos from their session and their slide show.

{Kara+Chris} Knechts Covered Bridge Engagement Photo Session

Maggie J — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 18:29:17 +0000

Kara and Chris are winners of one of my full Engagement Sessions in the Lehigh Valley, PA. We met at the Knecht’s Covered Bridge out past Hellertown, PA and very close to Quakertown, PA. Right away, I liked them. They were smiling looking forward to the session yet a bit shy. They brought their pup with them to include in some of the photos.

I had a wonderful time shooting this session, but since I am not the best of writers, I will let the photos tell you their story. Enjoy!
