Nicole and Jamie are such a great, fun couple! I had a blast with them recently for their engagement session. And we even got to take advantage of the snow before it melted away. I love winter!
We started inside at the Hotel Hershey where it was nice and warm.
Then we ventured outside into the winter wonderland.
Last week, I met up with Ashley and Brian for their engagement session. Ashley is the sister of Shannon, one of our 2007 brides so it was great to catch up with her again. I had such a great time walking around the Hotel Hershey with these two. And I’m really looking forward to their wedding later this year!
The blog is back! Due to an unexpected issue, the blog had to take a little break. But now it’s back and we have a lot to catch you up on. First up is the wedding of Denise and Adam. We had such a great time hanging out with everyone the whole day that it didn’t seem like work. And Denise and Adam are just the most genuine people. We captured some great images and can’t to share them with you.

Last weekend, we were busy with weddings. First up for us was Cristen and Jay. We met up with the bridal party at the Hotel Hershey where we spent some time with the guys and girls. Then it was down to the Rock Garden for the ceremony with close friends and family. After a beautiful ceremony and dove release, we did some portraits before everyone moved to the veranda for a cocktail reception. But the fun didn’t stop there. Then it was off to the Hollywood Casino where Cristen and Jay were to be introduced to ALL their friends and family as a newly married couple. This was our first time being at the Casino for a wedding reception. It certainly introduced a new dynamic into partying!!

Hotel Hershey was the backdrop for my engagement session with Catie and Matt. We stayed inside as much as possible because it was just SO hot outside.
It seems like forever ago that I had seen Sarah and Jeff. In fact, it was last August that we did their engagement session. So it was really nice to see them again on their big day. Sarah is probably one of the most expressive brides that I’ve ever had!! And exuberant too!! Not even the impending rain could get her down. Luckily the rain held off for a majority of the ceremony. Portrait time was a different story but at least we were at a picturesque spot like the Hotel Hershey where we could do some things inside. I loved all of the details of the day, especially the peony bouquet and the groom’s cake. See for yourself:
The bible that Sarah’s grandmother and mother carried during their weddings. And also the rings and the little plate that the ring bearer carried.
Sarah.
The girls.
The boys.
The flower girl.
Dodging rose petals and rain drops.
I LOVE peony bouquets!!!!
Sarah and Jeff.
LOVE this shot of the bridal party.
This is the “fun” shot that the bridal party wanted. At least they got into it!!
The ballroom.
The main cake.
HOW COOL IS THIS GROOM’S CAKE??!!??
Before the reception got too rocking, we went to visit Sarah’s grandfather in his room. He had just been released from the hospital days before so it was really important for Sarah that she saw him. It was an amazing moment that I was honored to capture.
The rings.
The “special guest” arrived just before we had to leave.
