When I met up with Rayni and Matt for their engagement session, I knew that we would be in for a good time at their wedding. And Andy and I were NOT disappointed. I headed to the Hilton in Harrisburg where the girls were getting ready while Andy headed to Matt and Rayni’s house to meet the guys. While Gia and Jess were working their magic on the girls, the guys made a stop at Ft. Indiantown Gap Cemetary so Matt could leave flowers at his father’s grave. We all met back up at the ceremony at St. Patrick’s Cathedral which was beautiful. And you might remember that Saturday was WINDY!!! Well Rayni and Matt were up for ANYTHING. We literally ended up in a wind tunnel in one of the alleys off State Street and I thought that Rayni was going to be knocked over. After we were done with portraits, we headed into the Hilton for the reception.
These images that Andy captured at the cemetary with Matt move me beyond words.
This was right after I told Rayni that she looked like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. 
Some detail shots:
Told ya it was WINDY!!
LOVE this one!
This was such a special moment. Rayni’s father had passed away so instead of a father-daughter dance, she invited everyone on the dance floor to celebrate her dad’s memory. They danced to the song “Desperado” by The Eagles. I had to track down a tissue.

Today is my father’s funeral..and the images of Matt at the cemetery and the dance Rayni shared in her father’s memory moved me to tears. Cyndi, you and your crew capture the most gorgeous pictures. You did for Josh and Rachel’s wedding years ago.. and you continue to amaze me with what you all capture on film. Tiny moments that speak volumes without sound or explanation needed. Thank you for what you do. Congratulations to Matt and Rayni (Although I have no clue who you are! LOL) I know your father’s were there with you just as mine will always be with me.
