Rebecca and Jason – 08.22.09

Saturday was an AMAZING day!! Not only did we get to spend it with two AMAZING people but there was no rain during the ceremony, portraits at two AWESOME locations, a rainbow and an ice cream truck!! I’m telling you, we were happy campers.

But first things first. We started our coverage at the Milestone Inn where everyone was getting ready. It was going to be a game time decision on whether to have the ceremony outside or under the tent and it was all dependent on the rain. I’m happy to say that other than a few drops during the ceremony, we didn’t have any rain until after the reception was well underway. And that’s where the rainbow comes in. It appeared after dinner and almost everyone stepped out from under the tent to have a look.

And did I mention the portrait locations? Rebecca, a girl after my own heart, didn’t really want to go to the same old places in Harrisburg. So, she hatched a plan to gain access to the Harrisburg Train Station. One of our back-up plans was venturing underneath one of the bridges into Harrisburg. I’m happy to report that we did both!

On to the favorites….But first PLEASE CHECK OUT THIS SLIDESHOW. Rebecca and Jason actually recorded the song which was also their first dance. So cool!!!

Kristie and Steven – 05.23.09

Saturday was the first day of the first ever Klose Photography triple header. Yes, that’s right. We had a wedding on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. And it was exhausting. But we had such a great time with each of our couples and each wedding was special in its own way.

So first up in the wedding of Kristie and Steven on Saturday. The day started off well enough until I showed up at Kristie’s parent’s house for getting ready with the girls. Poor Kristie had been sick since Tuesday and was still running a fever. And if you remember Saturday it was really humid which made it almost unbearable for her. We finished getting ready there and headed over to the Hershey Gardens where the ceremony was to be held. The plan was to do portraits of the guys and girls respectively before the ceremony. We tried to move quickly through those because it was REALLY hot by then. Kristie was trying to save all of the energy she had left for the ceremony so she stayed inside the Education Center until the last moment. She was such a trooper though because she made it through the ceremony AND portrait time with flying colors. Then it was off to the Hershey Country Club for the cocktail hour and reception. Kristie actually felt a little better there so we did some more portraits before settling in for dinner (which unfortunately our lovely bride couldn’t eat). The day was very emotional and there were moments that moved even those behind the camera. ;)

Without further ado, here are some of our favorites. CLICK HERE for their slideshow.

The kids in this wedding were SO CUTE!!
