Ashley and “Chip” – 06.26.10

July 1, 2010 – 7:14 pm

Last Saturday, we had the privilege of capturing the wedding of Ashley and James or “Chip” as I will try to call him. ;) We started heading north to Millersburg for the ceremony before heading back to Harrisburg for the reception. We stopped for portraits at Italian Lake before heading to the Milestone Inn for the tented reception. Although it was a little hot and humid, everyone seemed to have a great time visiting with each other, laughing, and, of course, dancing.

Here’s the day in pictures:




Watching the US in World Cup play. We all know how that ended.






Instead of wedding favors, Ashley and Chip made a donation to Caitlin’s Smiles as well as asking their guests to bring a book to the wedding.

And once again, we got to see one of previous bridal couples. Remember Krissy and Troy??

And this lucky guy in the middle was one of our seniors last year, Connor.

Teresa and Leigh – 10.17.09

October 24, 2009 – 7:03 am

“Rain” has become a very bad word for Klose Photography. It seems that we have had more rainy weddings than ever before. Last Saturday was no different. And of course, Teresa and Leigh had expected to have their outdoor ceremony in the beautiful fall setting at the Milestone Inn. Unfortunately, everything had to be moved inside the tent. But the tent was decorated so nicely that you almost didn’t even know that you weren’t outside.

Jana and Justin – 09.05.09

September 9, 2009 – 7:48 pm

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.

Rebecca and Jason – 08.22.09

August 25, 2009 – 10:46 pm

Saturday was an AMAZING day!! Not only did we get to spend it with two AMAZING people but there was no rain during the ceremony, portraits at two AWESOME locations, a rainbow and an ice cream truck!! I’m telling you, we were happy campers.

But first things first. We started our coverage at the Milestone Inn where everyone was getting ready. It was going to be a game time decision on whether to have the ceremony outside or under the tent and it was all dependent on the rain. I’m happy to say that other than a few drops during the ceremony, we didn’t have any rain until after the reception was well underway. And that’s where the rainbow comes in. It appeared after dinner and almost everyone stepped out from under the tent to have a look.

And did I mention the portrait locations? Rebecca, a girl after my own heart, didn’t really want to go to the same old places in Harrisburg. So, she hatched a plan to gain access to the Harrisburg Train Station. One of our back-up plans was venturing underneath one of the bridges into Harrisburg. I’m happy to report that we did both!

On to the favorites….But first PLEASE CHECK OUT THIS SLIDESHOW. Rebecca and Jason actually recorded the song which was also their first dance. So cool!!!

Renee and Adam – 08.08.09

August 13, 2009 – 8:07 pm

Last year, all the media hype that surrounded 08.08.08 made it a very popular wedding date. Renee and Adam decided to set a cooler trend and wait a year for 08.08.09. Which I have to say is equally enjoyable to type. :) We had the chance to capture the day for them this past Saturday. Below are our favorites and CLICK HERE for the slideshow.

Michelle and Chris – 06.06.09

June 11, 2009 – 4:04 pm

Last Saturday, Andy and I were at the Milestone Inn for the wedding of Chris and Michelle (Yep. We were two for two with brides named Michelle on Saturday.) Unfortunately, I didn’t realize it was also D-Day and was stuck in horrible traffic due to some special events being held. I have to send a HUGE thanks to Cyndi for covering Michelle’s getting ready until I arrived!! When I did get there, I was stunned by Michelle’s dress. It was absolutely beautiful and she had the BEST shoes too! Once everyone was ready, we headed out to the river where Chris and Michelle saw each other before the ceremony. The ceremony was beautiful and had little touches that made it so special for Michelle and Chris. After cocktail hour on the lawn, it was time for the reception. I have to say I love their taste in music! Just as every one of the guests did, Andy and I had a great time! Thank you Chris and Michelle!!
