The 2 foot difference

So I (Matt) have always wanted a big Christmas tree. I always told myself, “self, if I ever have a room big enough I’m going to get a huge Christmas tree.” I’m not info fake trees at all, I like the look, smell and feel of real trees. I don’t mind dealing with the sap and needles. This year Nat & I decided to put our Christmas tree in our studio and decorate it in Black,White and Silver to match our brand. So Nat and I went to the tree farm and searched and searched till we found the perfect 12′ fir to fit in our 14′ cathedral ceiling studio. I roped the tree to the top of our friend Shannon’s land yacht in typical red neck fashion. The guy at the farm didn’t want to let us leave he was so worried it would fall off. But we left and got it home without worry. Nat and I heaved it into place, stood it up only to have one minor problem, it didn’t fit, the top hit the ceiling! Turns out our ceilings are only 12′ high and our tree was actually 13′ not the 12′ we paid for. So a little creative trimming was done and we have what you see below. It’s way more tree than I ever though it would be. Turns out trees look much smaller outside in a field than they do indoors. But we love it! All of that to say,

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from matt n nat.

Stacey & James Engagement Session

We had a blast taking Stacey & James through Lititz PA for their E session. We loved working with them because they are up for anything and totally into pictures. They wanted some fall shots and we lucked out on picking the right day for fall colors. The week before there wasn’t much and the week after all the leaves were gone. After we walked through Lititz we headed out to Speedwell Forge for some different scenery.

Eileen & Walt Engagement Session

Nat and I were super excited to do Eileen & Walts E Session. We regularly go looking for great photos spots and this is one we found recently. We went down by the Susquehanna River at Chickies Rock County Park in Marietta PA. We found some old foundation remains covered in moss and leaves. Eileen & Walt are super adventurous, they went tramping through the brush without any hesitation. We’re excited to shoot their wedding next year.
