Lindsay and Nick – Esession

Still playing catch up with blog posts. Here’s Lindsay and Nick’s Harrisburg engagement session.

Allie – Mechanicsburg HS Senior

I’m a little behind on blogging so bear with me as I catch up. Allie and I had a great time exploring Harrisburg for her Senior Session.









Lauren and Brian – 06.12.10

Saturday’s wedding with Lauren and Brian had it all. Tears. Special moments. A vintage car. And, yes, a DOWNPOUR! The story of us doing our portraits downtown and the approaching rainstorm will go down as one of my favorites. These two were absolutely awesome as we hurried to beat the rain. Here are our favs from the day:

















Ceremony: Palmyra Church of the Brethren
Reception: Civic Club of Harrisburg
Caterer: Karen’s Catering
Cake: About Weddings
Flowers: Usztics Florist
Band: Neil Wright Band

Jill and Bryan – Esession

I love “golden hour”. This hour before the sun sets is the most magical time to take pictures. While I’ll do sessions at other times of day, this is by far my favorite. I met up with Jill and Bryan during “golden hour” for their engagement session. This was my first time meeting Bryan so I tried to ease us into the session. By the end, we were having a blast, chatting like we had known each other forever.

Trying a little something different. My eyes had to recover from this one.

This was our last shot of the day. And Bryan was SO happy to be done. So I let him do whatever came natural to him. Apparently that was “strangling” Jill. LOL!!!

Jana and Justin – 09.05.09

I will tell you what I told Justin on the day of his wedding: I’ve never had a bride quite like Jana. (He jokingly said neither have I, which I thought was really cute.) But seriously, Jana has to be one of the most unique people I’ve ever met. We arrived late morning at the Milestone Inn, where both the guys and girls were getting ready. The guys had some fun playing pool and drinking some beverages :) before heading to the church. Jana and the girls were styled by the fabulous girls from Moxie. Then it was time for Jana to put on her dress. It was just stunning! The bridesmaids took the shuttle to the church but Jana and her dad drove over separately. Apparently, he wanted some “Daddy Time” before the ceremony. The ceremony was held at Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament in Harrisburg. And while it wasn’t extremely hot, the church doesn’t have air conditioning. Jana got a little hot during the receiving line which is why I had to put the picture of her in front of the fan in the slideshow. After we did some quick family portraits in the church, things got interesting. (And this is where I truly wish I would have had a video camera.) Jana wanted to do some urban shots AND she just wanted to walk. So off we went marching down 3rd Street, all 20 or so of us! We cut up Emerald, passed a block party, and turned onto 2nd Street and headed towards the Milestone. We were only about 3 blocks away when the shuttle picked us up. We totally could have made it! When we arrived back at the Milestone, it was time for everyone to cool off. And of course, Jana had planned the reception to be a “do as you please” event. You could eat when you wanted to, watch movies, smoke cigars, have your picture taken in the photo booth, etc. It was really a unique reception!

Below are some of my favorites from the day. CLICK ON THE ‘JANA & JUSTIN’ SLIDE BELOW FOR THE SLIDESHOW.

Jessica and Brian – Esession

I met up with Jessica and Brian recently to do their engagement session in downtown Harrisburg. This was the first time that I had met Brian and I have to say that he and Jessica are the cutest couple. They were so good at interacting in front of the camera that I hardly had to give them any instruction. Plus I learned a lot about Conshohocken, which is where they live.

Thanks guys for spending the morning with me.
