Hayley and Greg – 05.29.11

Our second wedding of the Memorial Day weekend was the awesome wedding of Hayley and Greg. I started my day by hanging out with the girls at Hayley and Greg’s house while they got ready. Then we headed to the church for the Serbian service which was intricate and beautiful. After formal and fun portraits, it was off to the Radisson for the rockin’ reception.

A special pic with a special pup. ;)

Hayley’s bouquet was simple yet beautiful.

Greg didn’t look too bad himself. ;)

What a better way to pass the time than iPhone Air Hockey!

I love this shot of some of the guests during the service.

Hayley and Greg had shots for their guests of what can only be described as fire water.

Guests threw eco-friendly rice and coins at the couple when they exited the church.


Some of the details from the day:

A Serbian orchestra entertained the guests all throughout the day.

Jessica and Brian – 10.09.10

Is October over yet? ;) We had another double-header this past weekend, starting with the Saturday wedding of Jessica and Brian. We started our day with the girls getting ready and then headed to the Capitol for the ceremony. We did portraits inside and outside of the Capitol before heading across the river for the reception at the Radisson. What a fun night!

Did I mention I love getting ready time? ;)


Please Mr. Security Guard, let us in.

I’ve been enjoying my black and whites lately.

The boys.

PORTRAIT TIME!!!




The rings.

And some more details.

Warming up the crowd. Apparently this lovely lady was the sexiest at her table. :)

Look! The “coolest” couple ever was there. So good to see Stephany and Dan again.

The cake cutting.

And then the dancing began. And boy did it ever.

The boys ended the night with some cigars on the patio.

Melany and Dan – 08.28.10

This past Saturday, we covered the wedding of Melany and Dan. These two are so cute together. They really don’t take a bad picture together! We started at the church for getting ready. After the ceremony and portraits at the church, we went exploring for some shots with the bridal party. We ended up at Ski Roundtop to finish up before the party began. And, oh my, what a party it was. I don’t think Melany left the dance floor the entire night!

Boys will be boys.

I love when getting ready is in a church nursery. ;)

Melany looked lovely.


Waiting their turn.






I loved this moment between Dan and his grandmother.

Rayni and Matt – 05.08.10

When I met up with Rayni and Matt for their engagement session, I knew that we would be in for a good time at their wedding. And Andy and I were NOT disappointed. I headed to the Hilton in Harrisburg where the girls were getting ready while Andy headed to Matt and Rayni’s house to meet the guys. While Gia and Jess were working their magic on the girls, the guys made a stop at Ft. Indiantown Gap Cemetary so Matt could leave flowers at his father’s grave. We all met back up at the ceremony at St. Patrick’s Cathedral which was beautiful. And you might remember that Saturday was WINDY!!! Well Rayni and Matt were up for ANYTHING. We literally ended up in a wind tunnel in one of the alleys off State Street and I thought that Rayni was going to be knocked over. After we were done with portraits, we headed into the Hilton for the reception.

These images that Andy captured at the cemetary with Matt move me beyond words.


This was right after I told Rayni that she looked like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. :)

Some detail shots:


Told ya it was WINDY!!


LOVE this one!



This was such a special moment. Rayni’s father had passed away so instead of a father-daughter dance, she invited everyone on the dance floor to celebrate her dad’s memory. They danced to the song “Desperado” by The Eagles. I had to track down a tissue.

Rayni’s mom.

Cake.

Kacy and Jess – 10.02.09

This past Friday, we were back at one of our favorite spots, Riverdale Manor, for the ceremony and reception of Kacy and Jesse. These two are so beautiful together. And I was very excited to see what dress Kacy had finally decided upon because I knew that she was having some trouble finding the perfect one. And of course, it ended up being a Pronovias. They really don’t get any better than that. After some getting ready shots with both the guys and the girls, Kacy and Jesse met each other on the farmhouse porch and then we did all of the portraits before the wedding. After the outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour, it was inside for the reception, which rocked out until 11pm.

I’m keeping this short because I want to get to our favorites. And oh my, are they our favorites!

This is one of my most favorite bridal shots ever. Kacy is just stunning.

Cara and Nick – 09.19.09

I had been looking forward to this wedding since I met with Cara and Nick last year. They are just one of those couples that I clicked with right away. We had such a good time during their engagement session and I’ve seen Cara a couple of times since then. They really do just make my job easy. So when I arrived at Cara’s family home on Saturday, it was like arriving at a friend’s house. The girls were getting ready there after their visit to the salon while the boys were getting ready elsewhere. Cara kept having “moments” where she was brought to tears which was so cute. The ceremony was to be held at Good Shepherd Parish. From there, we stopped at Messiah College for pics with the bridal party. (Where, by the way, I got stung by a bee ON my shooting hand. Thank you to the groomsmen for taking care of me. :) Then it was off to a secret location that Nick and I had both known about and were dying to shoot at. It did not disappoint, snakeskins and all. ;) Then it was off to Ski Roundtop for their reception. We had such a fun time with Cara, Nick and their bridal party. They really did make our job easy.

Below are some favorites:

Cara was stunning in her Pronovias gown.
