The second engagement session on Sunday was with Lauren and Shaun. I met them at Nissley Vineyards and what a gorgeous afternoon (although a little warm) to walk around the grounds. I loved that I didn’t have to tell them to interact at all. They were just having a good time being with each other!
Thanks guys. I hope you enjoyed your wine!
This whole series is cute but I especially like this last one.
Sunday was a day of sessions and consultations for me. The first engagement session of the day was with Kristen and Gerald. I met up with them at the Civic Club where they are getting married next year. They wanted some pictures around there since the area will be filled with people on their wedding day. We finished up there and walked around downtown for a bit in the unusually warm October weather.
Thanks guys. I hope you enjoyed the game!
I love it when I get referrals and that’s exactly how I got to photograph this wonderful family.
Cameron – 3 years old and determined to be good enough to get his M&M’s at the end of the session
Kiera – 3 months old and could have cared less about the M&Ms
The whole family:
I met up with Lara and Shaun on Tuesday at Messiah and had a great time walking around with them. Lara is an admitted blog stalker!!

Catching up on some blog posts. This was from Sunday with Jayme.
What a gorgeous weekend!! We were a little worried about the weather because earlier in the week, there was a chance for rain on Saturday. And we didn’t want anything to spoil the wedding of Katie and Dan. On Friday, we headed to the Farm at the Ford in Gettysburg for the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. The Farm at the Ford was a Civil War hospital and is actually Dan’s family farm. It was gorgeous. What a property!! And what a tent!! But we’ll get to that. First things first. The rehearsal was a bit chilly and ran a bit late but I think the smell of the pig roasting is what got everyone through it. That and the promise of a rocking night to come. Katie and Dan had hired a band (Borderline) for the rehearsal dinner.
Saturday turned out to be a stunning day. Not too windy, not too cold, and PLENTY of sunshine. We started the day with some detail shots of the venue and then Katie arrived to begin the getting ready process. Katie was breathtaking in her dress. Her Mom said that she bought it at Saks Fifth Avenue and I don’t think I’ve seen such a simple but elegant dress. The ceremony was just gorgeous. It was held beside the pond which made for a fantastic setting. And I’ve never before heard a processional with all of the music from the Sound of Music. Katie and Dan were troopers in hiking around the farm with me for pictures after the ceremony before heading to enjoy their cocktail hour and reception. The decor was out of this world, with tent and food by JDK and flowers by Blooms by Vickery. The White Wolf Group were our video partners in capturing all of the events and everything went off with out a hitch thanks to the expert planning of Your Big Day Weddings (Glenn and Emily).
On with the pictures:
There were 4 ringbearers, 10 bridesmaids, and 10 groomsmen!!
Katie and her dad were so cute together:
The rings. The groom actually made his own ring. Amazing!
I love to photograph cocktail hour when I get the chance. The expressions and conversations are always memorable.
As I said, the decor was just amazing:
The cake was made with love by a family friend.
The dances:
Reception fun:
Who knew pashminas could be worn on your head?
And what’s a wedding without a little “Don’t stop believin”
