Jessica and Ben – E-session

September 21, 2007 – 9:02 am

I’m a little out of order posting this session. I promise to get to our other wedding this past weekend today. So stay tuned for that.

On Sunday, I met up with Jessica and Ben for their engagement session at Nissley Vineyards in Bainbridge. My husband and I are frequent visitors to Nissley in the summer for their lawn concerts so I was very excited to actually do a session there. And little did I know that Jessica and Ben love red wine, so it was appropriate for them as well. Jessica and Ben are one of my out of state couples (from Tennessee) and were in the area for a friend’s wedding. Jessica had told me that they were bringing their dog along with them and I really didn’t know what to expect. But when I got out of the car and was greeted by little Miss Morgan, I fell in love. I seriously wanted to bring her home with me. She made for some funny moments too during the session, as you will see below.

The sky was breathtakingly blue on Sunday.

Betsy and Grant – 09.15.07

September 19, 2007 – 6:15 am

On Saturday, I spent the day with Betsy and Grant for their long awaited wedding. You might remember them as the couple that I met in Cape May for their engagement session. While it’s been awhile since I’ve seen them, they certainly haven’t lost any of their spark. We started off at the First Presbyterian Church in Strasburg for getting ready with the girls. The ceremony was at the same location then it was off to Riverdale for the reception. This was my first time at Riverdale and it certainly lived up to its hype. It was gorgeous and the food was excellent. But enough about the details. Let’s see the day in pictures.

The dress was stunning. It was the first Priscilla of Boston dress that I’ve seen in person. And Betsy looked like Audrey Hepburn in it…a classic beauty.

I told you….

Of course, Grant and the boys weren’t too shabby either…

The rings.

The cake was as yummy as it was pretty.

Some Riverdale details.

The kids were too cute…

Some alone time with Betsy and Grant. This one is straight out of the camera and one of the few images this year that made me weepy while I was shooting it.

Thanks guys for a great day. Have a fantastic time in Antigua, however you pronounce it.

Booking Early

September 17, 2007 – 12:33 pm

In the past few weeks, I’ve had a lot of people who are calling to book their weddings with us and are disappointed that we are already booked. The best advice I can give you is to book early. We are generally booking 12-18 months in advance for weddings. We do not base our bookings on the calendar year for pricelists. So when you book, you lock in at that current pricelist which could provide you some substantial savings.

Of course, I’ve also gotten a few calls from people who were basing their date on our availability. I love that!!

Christine – Senior Session

September 13, 2007 – 9:40 pm

I met up with Christine and her mom earlier this week for her senior session. Thank goodness we had planned for a mostly indoor location because it was raining. But Christine did brave the elements with me and it was my favorite shot of the day. But you’ll see that below. Christine is a senior at Central Dauphin.

I love this couch!

With her lacrosse gear…

My favorite of the day…

Fun with the stick…

We were completely soaked after this one…

Thanks so much Christine and mom. I had a great time hanging out with you. I hope you enjoyed those french fries!!

Meredith and Patrick – 09.08.07

September 13, 2007 – 9:15 pm

We had another double header on Saturday, with Anne heading to the Reading area for the wedding of Meredith and Patrick. It’s always really nice when you show up and you know that photography is THE most important aspect of the day for the bridal couple. And that’s exactly what happened on Saturday. After some getting ready shots at the couple’s gorgeous home, everyone gathered at St. John’s Lutheran Church for the ceremony. Then after some fun at a local park, everyone headed to the Abraham Lincoln Hotel for the reception. Anne said that the food there was some of the best wedding food she has ever had so kudos to them!

Now for the day in pictures:
