2014 was one heck of a year for Samantha Jay Photography!  It was great to have an opportunity and sit down with all of the images I was lucky enough to create this year.  I selected some favorites from Bridal, Groom Portraits, Ceremony, Bridal Party, Bride and Groom Portraits, Details and Reception.  I can’t thank […]

Kelly and John had a gorgeous wedding at St. Agnes church in West Chester and their reception was held at Penn Oaks Golf Club.  I met these two in the winter of last year for their engagement session.  They met as West Chest University undergrads and are so incredibly amazing together.  This was a really […]

Although the weather this year has been super crazy, all of this snow has made for some AMAZING photo opportunities.  Kelly and John are featured in this snowy engagement session!  These West Chester University grads were both such good sports in the cold weather.  We had a blast in this snowy park!
