Emily and Jarrad – 06.25.11

July 3, 2011 – 9:55 am

We ended our June weddings with the fantastic wedding of Emily and Jarrad. Everything happened in downtown Harrisburg which made for an easy day. We started at the Harrisburg Hilton where both the guys and the girls were getting ready. It was just a short ride to State Street to the church where the ceremony would be held. And after the ceremony, it was just a short walk to the Civic Club for the reception. The entire day went off without a hitch. Well almost. Let’s just say I had to put on my seamstress hat and do a little sewing thanks to Jarrad. ;) After everyone was in and settled at the Civic Club, the parties of all parties started. Emily, Jarrad and all of their guests certainly know how to party. The dance floor was PACKED all evening!

Now for the images…

I absolutely love this image of Jarrad.

The boys.

Emily was just radiant. Once the dress was on, it was hard to keep her from smiling.

Some details from the day.

Hanging out before the ceremony.

There were cute kids everywhere at this wedding.

What a good looking group.

We liked spending some time alone with just Emily and Jarrad.




First dance.

This was an interesting way to end the bouquet and garter section of the evening. No chair was involved. ;)

Then the party kicked into high gear.



Thanks for showing us a good time guys! Hope you enjoyed your time away.

Rayni and Matt – 05.08.10

May 13, 2010 – 9:22 pm

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.

Kerry and Matt – 09.19.09

September 25, 2009 – 6:34 pm

Kerry and Matt were married on Saturday Harrisburg at the beautiful St. Patrick’s Cathedral. These two were so gracious throughout the day that it felt like we were invited guests. I guess that is what you get when over half of the wedding was from ‘the South’ The ladies prepared for the festivities at the Harrisburg Hilton and then boarded the trolley to St. Patricks. After the ceremony we captured some images on State Street and played with the sun before heading to the Hilton for cocktail hour and a great reception. Mark Hoover kept the floor packed. I am not sure I have seen a reception in which the groom was on the dance floor more than the bride. Kerry and Matt had a nice touch as both of their parents were granted a spotlight dance in which their wedding songs were played. I loved watching both sets of parents dancing and singing to each other as if they were just married yesterday. Two good examples for Kerry and Matt to emulate.

Nicole and James – 06.13.09

June 15, 2009 – 9:34 pm

This past Saturday, we captured the wedding of Nicole and James. And what a wedding it was with 300 guests in attendance! Allison and I met up with Nicole at her parent’s home while Lindsey went to meet up with James and the boys. Nicole’s dress, a Rina di Montella, was absolutely gorgeous. It was very hard for me to narrow down the images we captured of Nicole because there were so many good ones. After everyone was ready and the limo “short bus” ;) arrived, it was off to St. Catherine’s for the ceremony. James got a little emotional when Nicole and her dad walked down the aisle, but so did a lot of other people! After quick family portraits at the church, it was off to the Capitol for pictures with the bridal party. We went in front of, behind and inside the Capitol doing all sorts of portraits. When we wrapped up, it was just a short ride to the Harrisburg Hilton where cocktail hour was underway. There were so many awesome details, from the caricature of the bride and groom to the race car ice sculpture. Once the doors opened to the Harrisburg Ballroom and guests were seated, the party got under way. In fact, it was still going strong when we left!

Michelle and Matt – 06.06.09

June 10, 2009 – 9:02 pm

The theme for this past Saturday for Klose Photography was two-fold: Michelle and TRAFFIC. (Traffic issue #1 was me having to report to our second wedding to cover for Lindsey who was stuck in traffic.) Saturday was the PERFECT day for a June wedding in Central PA. Allison, Maureen and I had the privilege of spending it with Michelle and Matt. We started our day with the girls at Michelle’s parent’s home and with the boys at the Camp Hill UMC. (Traffic issue #2 – Allison got stuck in traffic on the way!) Despite some initial concerns that guests would be late arriving because of traffic issue #3 (a bad accident on 322), the ceremony went off without a hitch. Then it was off to Italian Lake for portraits with Michelle and Matt and their bridal party. After we finished up at the Lake, it was off to the Harrisburg Hilton for the reception. The dance floor was filled with great dancers all night!
