I first met Francis and Brianna while they were serving as members of a bridal party for another Hope & Stay couple I had the pleasure of working with earlier this year. It just so happens that Brianna caught the bouquet and Francis caught the garter at that wedding—it was an omen that their engagement was soon to come!

A few short months later, Francis proposed to Brianna at the building site of the new home they are having built together.

I was SO excited when Brianna contacted me about photographing their 2019 Bucks County wedding! I knew we would be a great fit right away.

This fall has been so tricky weather-wise; we’ve had more rainy and overcast days than sunny ones! We were very fortunate to have chosen a beautiful October day that was full of sunshine, but also tons of wind! You would never guess from going through these gorgeous images from Brianna and Francis’s Downtown Bethlehem engagement session that it was SO cold and SO windy.

They were so amazing together and did such a wonderful job braving the frigid temperatures and blustery wind. I love how present they were and just leaned into one another to soak up this special time together.

Guys, thank you SO much for trusting me to be on this journey to your wedding day with you. I am so excited to see you as a bride, Brianna! And Francis, you nailed “the Cyclops.”

Are you planning a Bethlehem wedding? Let’s chat!
