Christy and Rick – 06.19.10

Last weekend, we traveled to State College for the wedding of Christy and Rick. Everything was happening at the beautiful Toftrees Golf Resort but before we went to the resort, we started with the girls at the salon. It was so nice to finally meet Christy (we had done all of the planning via email and phone). Christy, her bridesmaids and her family could not have been more welcoming to us. Once the girls were all done up, we headed to Toftrees. At that point, we go to meet the guys and hang out with them a bit before the ceremony. Christy had thought of ALL the details. She even decided on two completely different looks for herself for the day. After the ceremony, portraits at the resort, and a change of attire, it was time for the reception. After some great food and lots of dancing, the reception ended. But our fun was not over, as Christy and Rick had arranged for almost 2 hours of portrait time around Penn State‘s campus. What a fun time!!!!

Loved these shoes!

The necklace that Christy wore for the ceremony was the last present that her grandfather gave her grandmother. And he had gotten it from none other than Elizabeth Taylor!!

We made good use of the crazy straws at the bar. ;)

Like I said, after the reception was over, we headed out to do some portraits around campus.

Sarah and Jeff – 06.05.10

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!!!!

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.
