Julie and Nick – 06.28.08

June 30, 2008 – 11:18 pm

Well the rain held off for most of the day. Actually Saturday turned out to be a fairly decent day. Except for the half hour that it POURED while the girls (and Lindsey and I) were arriving at the church. But I’ll get to that in a minute. Lindsey, Allison and I had the pleasure of capturing Julie and Nick’s wedding this past Saturday. Lindsey and I started with the girls at the Julie’s parent’s house while Allison headed to the church, Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament in Harrisburg. With an eye to the sky and the radar, the girls got ready and then off we went to the church, under VERY threatening skies. By the time we got to the church, there was literally a river running down 3rd Street. Although the girls and some of the guests were a little damp from getting into the church, the ceremony went off without a hitch. After a few portraits at the church, we all headed to the lovely Peter Allen House where we did some more portraits before the reception really got started. The food was fantastic and the guests really seemed to enjoy roaming the house and grounds of the Peter Allen House. I have to mention the special dances from Saturday. I was close enough to hear the conversations between Julie and her dad as well as Nick and his grandmother and I can say that I got a little weepy at both of them. And after a long, hot day working, Lindsey and I stopped at 3B Ice Cream on the way home as a treat to ourselves!!

Now on to the pictures… (and there are lots so bear with me)

I love it when the bride gets ready in her childhood room.

Julie had a whole bulletin board of soccer patches. What a cool spot for the rings.

I love this capture by Lindsey of Julie’s mom.

A couple of great captures at the ceremony.

My favorite of the day.

A couple of quick portraits….

…and then off to Peter Allen House

A few details from the reception…

Yummm….cupcakes….

Apparently the Spice Girls made an appearance…

Julie and Nick’s last dance to Rusted Root.

Jena and Troy – 06.21.08

June 26, 2008 – 10:02 pm

As Andy said, Klose Photography took over Hummelstown on Saturday. Lindsey and I had the privilege of capturing the wedding of Jena and Troy. I started with the girls at Jena’s parents house while Lindsey hung out with the guys at Jena and Troy’s house. We all met up at Grace UMC in Hummelstown for the ceremony. Then everyone packed into the Hummer limo and off we went to Founder’s Hall for pictures with the bridal party. After we were done trapsing around, it was back in the cars and off to the Susquehanna Club in New Cumberland for the reception. DJ Mark Hoover had the crowd hopping.

I saw this on Jena’s parent’s fridge when I arrived.

The dress and shoes.

I LOVE this shot of Jena’s sister helping her put her necklace on. LOVE IT!

Jena was a beautiful, natural-looking bride.

The girls.

Look at those eyes.

Troy getting ready.

The boys.

I LOVE this capture by Lindsey, moments before the ceremony started.

The ever-so-helpful Melissa from EPN telling the kids what to do before they go down the aisle.

The bubbles!!

Some portraits of the couple.

The rings.

The cake.

My favorite of the day.

Troy and his mom.

Thanks Jena and Troy for having us. You are a fantastic couple and we wish you years of happiness.

Lara and Shawn – 06.21.08

June 26, 2008 – 9:34 pm

Last Saturday Klose Photography was in 2 churches in Hummelstown at almost the same time. First up, Anne and I (Andy, I know this is a first!) had the privilege of capturing Lara and Shawns’ wonderful day. Anne started the day at Lara’s parents’ house with the girls, while I met up with the guys for some quick portraits and fun images. The ceremony was held at Trinity UMC. Everyone then packed the limo for the quick ride to the reception at the Hershey Country Club. Fred Behney from SoundWave DJ’s kept the dance floor full and the party rolling along. We even encountered a few worried moments as we had a scavenger hunt for a wallet;) It all worked out and it was a great day.

OK, on to the pics.

Love Lara’s expression

Shawn’s gift to the guys were these personalized putters.

We had to be a little creative with our portraits due to another event, but we found a nice spot.

Lara is a teacher so we thought this ring shot was appropriate;)

A different take on the first dance.

Congratulations guys, Anne and I had a great time.

Casey and John – E-session

June 25, 2008 – 8:02 am

Sunday it was “supposed” to rain. Well thankfully it never did!! Casey and John had chosen Founder’s Hall as the location for their engagement session and we were all worried about the weather. But it ended up being fine…hot actually.

You’ll be seeing more of Casey and John soon. Their wedding is next month.

Allison and Ryan – E-session

June 25, 2008 – 7:56 am

A week or so ago, I met up with Allison and Ryan at Messiah College for their engagement session. We had picked another spot but it was too crowded with people enjoying the weather so we ended up at Messiah, and I’m glad we did.
