Stu & Julie // Yorktowne Hotel, Lancaster Wedding Photographer

Oh this couple. Such a blessing to be around. They are the kind of people that lift your spirits with their positivity, and with their love. It was so obvious from the beginning, even before they saw each other for the first time, that Stu & Julie are so in love, and so ready to be together the rest of their lives. Their story is incredible, and includes many hardships and difficulties - including a cancer diagnosis - but it's evident that these trials only caused their love to grow. I was so blessed to be the second shooter for Dani White Photography, and so blessed to meet Stu, Julie, and all their friends and family.

I love seeing a couple that is so ready for their marriage that their whole day solely revolves around their future together. Julie is a sweet but spirited woman whose joy bubbles over onto those around her. Stu is more quiet and reserved, with a steadiness that is evidenced by all the people who surrounded him, loved him, and encouraged him on such a special day. Between the two of them, they fit together like a puzzle piece, a truth obvious to even myself, who only got a glimpse of it on their day.

Between Stu & Julie, they could have danced all night, just the two of them, and been content. And that's what they will do for the rest of their lives.

Stu & Julie...what can I say? I am a photographer because of people like you, whose lives I get to glimpse into for one special, solemn, and sweet day, one that will begin your future together. May blessings, laughter, and joy, define your marriage!

Maria Grace Photography

My name is Maria, and I am a wedding and family photographer based out of Hampton Roads, Virginia, but I am always excited about traveling. I love families who truly enjoy spending time with each other and living life together. I love couples that are looking forward to their wedding day because they are so excited to finally be married to.
