We are a bit behind on blogging due to the holiday rush of print orders. But I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and the bottom of my desk, so I wanted to get a post up.
Carin and Matt are an amazing, fun couple who were married at the lovely Riverdale Manor last month. We had such a great time with them and their families.
Their First Glance.
Because I’m behind in blogging, I’m going to make this short and sweet. 
A great couple + fantastic vendors = a KICK-BUTT wedding!!!

Two weeks ago, we were back at one of our favorite spots, Riverdale Manor, for the wedding of Nicole and Daniel. The weather was perfect for their outdoor ceremony held creekside. But first and foremost, I have to tell you about Pictionary Man. The girls were so efficient in getting ready that we were able to do all the things we needed to do before the ceremony with plenty of time to spare. So the maid of honor decided to bring Pictionary Man out of the trunk of her car. It was awesome! More on that and other details in a bit.
There is nothing that I love more than when every component of a bride’s ensembles fits both her and the style of the wedding PERFECTLY. That was Niki.
And if you know me at all, you know my fascination with birdcage veils. Bear with me as I obsess about them a little…
Pictionary Man!!!!
Dan’s note to Niki.
This was Dan’s first glance at Niki coming down the aisle. His face says it all.
He couldn’t take his eyes off her.
A good looking bunch.
See? I told you I have a problem. Look how the light catches it. Beautiful!
The details of the day.
These girls ROCKED the dancing for “Single Ladies”.

We capped off our July with the wedding of Rachel and Michael at Riverdale Manor. What was supposed to be an outdoor ceremony turned into a pavilion one thanks to an ill-timed downpour. But we made the most of the time that we did have outdoors for their First Glance, even though it was HOT!! Tears were flowing throughout the day. Even I got weepy behind my camera when Rachel and her dad were coming down the aisle.
Thanks for having us guys! I hope you enjoyed your honeymoon to the top-secret location.

We spent Independence Day 2011 partying with the MOST fun group of people! Seriously. I had so much fun with Sarah and Jared for their engagement session that I knew their wedding day would be loads of fun too. And since this was the last wedding before our beach vacation, we were even more ready to party!!
Jared made these boutonnieres. All of the guys like to golf AND Sarah went to UVA.
Sarah’s dress was MADE for her. It fit her perfectly.
I loved the train.
If you were at the wedding, you know exactly what they are laughing about as they were pronounced husband and wife.
After formals at the church, it was off to Riverdale Manor for the party.
Some details from the day.
Such an awesome idea for a “guestbook”. Sarah and Jared had guests sign a white field hockey sick and baseball bat as well as a black shadow box. They will eventually frame it all with a picture of the two of them. So cool!!
Cute baby alert!!
She might have been the one to warn him….
…but she smashed first!! Then Jared, well, you can see…
Some bouquet and garter fun.
And of course, one of the best in Central PA kept us rocking all night long.

April is one of those months that you never know what it’s going to be like weather-wise. It could be warm or cold, rainy or even snowy. We were so fortunate that the weather this past Saturday was so nice. Heather and Eric chose the lovely Riverdale Manor for their ceremony and reception. Their day was filled with friends, family, fun and food. Lots of food!
I know I’ve said this before but spending time with the bride getting ready is my FAVORITE part of the day.
Heather and Eric decided to see each other before the ceremony for their pictures together.
These next two are my favs.
