Bridgit and Ryan – 07.18.09

Dare to be different. That should have been the theme of Bridgit and Ryan’s wedding. From Bridgit’s feather purse to the gray tuxes to the couples’ shoes, everything was just the way that Bridgit and Ryan wanted it. Lindsey and Andy had the privilege of capturing the wedding on Saturday. Everything took place at Wind in the Willows in Grantville. The ceremony took place beside the lovely pond and the reception was inside the barn. What a cool place! And Bridgit and Ryan had one more surprise for their guests. Instead of a traditional wedding cake, the couple had an ice cream sundae bar complete with homemade hand-dipped ice cream. YUMMMMM!!

Below are some favorites. CLICK HERE for the slideshow.

Bridgit’s bouquet was made entirely of gardenias.

Stunning.

Ryan didn’t look to bad himself.

Sneaking a peak before the ceremony begins.

I love the vintage feel of this one.

And a special one just for our friends with the Event Planning Network (EPN). Melissa and Tina were the coordinators for this wedding but they are also Bridgit’s friends and bosses. Yep. You guessed it. Bridgit is an EPN girl too.

This past Friday, Lindsey and I got to go to one of our favorite venues, The Civic Club of Harrisburg, for the wedding and reception of Johni and Steve. And when we arrived, we were floored by all of the details. Johni had thought of everything and it was all pulled together so nicely. There were fans for guests. Takeout boxes and a candy bar. A wedding cake and 5 additional cakes. Two dresses and two pairs of shoes. And flowers everywhere. I cannot say enough good things about Dan from Blue Heron It was just beautiful. We had a great time, even with some rambunctious groomsmen . Thanks to Johni and Steve and their families for having us.

Yep. These are Badgley Mischka’s. Aren’t they pretty??

Johni got a little emotional when she first came down to do pictures.

The happy couple!

Christine and Rob – 06.20.09

This past Saturday, I woke up to the sound of rain. Pouring rain. That’s NEVER a good thing on a Saturday in June. June is wedding season. And rain, especially pouring rain, makes a wedding photographer cringe on wedding day. So I vented to my Facebook friends, said some prayers to God, and packed my bright orange poncho. I met up with the girls at Christine’s home while Lindsey headed on over to Rob’s house to hang out with the guys. The rain was off an on all throughout the mid afternoon, through getting ready and even through arrival at the church. But everyone was in good spirits and didn’t let the weather get them down. The ceremony was held at Second City Church which is a beautiful old church in the mid-town district of Harrisburg. The stained glass was just stunning next to all of the original woodwork. Christine and Rob had planned to have all of their guests release white balloons when they left the church. I was bummed because I thought white balloons on a cloudy sky aren’t going to show up very well. Lindsey went outside to wait for our lovely couple to come out of the church while I finished up some things with them inside. I followed them out. I was absolutely shocked to see BRILLIANT blue sky and tons of white balloons. It was beautiful and quite the surprise. And I’m happy to report that we only had one little shower while we were doing pictures with the bridal party at the Capitol and the Pride of the Susquehanna. Then it was off to the Sheraton for the reception. This was our first time at the Sheraton and the ballroom was really elegant. Lindsey and I enjoyed watching all of the great dancing by the guests!

Thanks Christina, Rob and families for having us. Below are our favorites of the day. CLICK HERE for your slideshow.

I love this shot of Christine’s dress in her childhood bedroom.

Christine was a beautiful bride!

She got a little weepy this first time her dad saw her in her dress.

Love this moment at the church.
