Caylee + Jarrett | Engagement | Downtown Youngstown, Ohio

My journey with Caylee and Jarrett began in a hair salon. Caylee was sitting across the room from me, getting her hair done and talking about being newly engaged. Insert me looking like a complete crazy person with red and orange hair color all over my head (and probably my face if we’re being honest) and my hair stylist, Bianca (Roots Salon and Wellness Spa), hyping me up to Caylee. Now she could’ve ran for the hills but instead I got an email from her a couple of weeks later and we vibed instantly! Meeting her and Jarrett, having conversation and just hanging with them is easy. I knew photographing them would be fun!…

Erin and Shawn's Fourth of July Weekend Country Club Wedding at the Club at Shadow Lakes in Aliquippa, PA

It’s true, I never met a country club golf course wedding I didn’t like. Erin and Shawn’s wedding was certainly no different! They got married the day after the fourth of July at The Club and Shadow Lakes, a beautiful golf course in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania. The weather was exactly what you’d expect for July, super hot and a chance of rain. Fortunately, we dodged any rain showers and had beautiful light as they became husband and wife by the pond overlooking parts of the golf course….

A Thank You to my 2016 Couples

As I've been goal setting for 2017, I've also been reminiscing over 2016 and really taking a look at all of the goals I was able to accomplish this year. It's been a wild ride, and has really surpassed any of my expectations! Of all of my accomplishments, the one I'm most proud of is being 100% open, honest and authentic with my audience and my clients. My goal was purely to create a better wedding experience for my couples, and I didn't realize how much this idea would shape me and my business. I've been able to gain a better relationship with my clients, and I've truly and completely enjoyed MY experience with these wonderful couples, their family and their friends! I've really enjoyed my photography career, but this year has been extra special. I found myself falling in love over and over again with shooting weddings. And for that, I'm truly TRULY grateful to my 2016 Mae B Photo couples! The excitement and pure joy I've had over this year is largely in part to you guys...

Amber & Kyle's Rustic Barn Wedding at SNPJ in Enon Valley, PA

What do you do on a beautiful, sunny, fall Saturday? Why not get married?! I was sooo looking forward to Amber and Kyle's wedding. For years actually. Even before they got engaged. Yeahhh, I think everyone knew they were going to be husband and wife one day. We literally talked wedding plans for like two years. Let me tell you how pumped I was on their wedding day! It was finally THEIR day. I knew it was going to be a really fun, beautiful, personal wedding...
