Heather and Eric – 04.02.11

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.

The wedding pictures were beautiful and the poses were great. Heather looked wonderful and so did her entire wedding party.

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.

Amazing photos Cyndi! That first shot of Kacy is breathtaking. As I said before, they were a stunning bride and groom and that makes for many beautiful photos. My children had a fabulous time and I’m so thankful that you’ve already shown some great captures of their “fun” at the reception. It was a perfect day and there is nothing more special than having beautiful photos to look back on through the years. Off, now, to watch the slideshow for the fourth time …

Jesse - October 7, 2009 - 9:31 am

GREAT PICTURES AND SHOTS!! Those two look GREAT!!

Jacque Wagner - October 7, 2009 - 10:22 am

I am just in complete awe of these pictures from Kacy’s wedding. I watched the slideshow & cried all over again! I was in the bridal party and I thought you put us some very unique poses, which turned out fabulous! Kacy, the bride, should be on the cover of a bridal magazine! I can’t wait to see the rest of them! AMAZING job!

Kacy - October 7, 2009 - 7:01 pm

Cyndi…words can’t say how much I love these pics. You do an amazing job. Thank you so much for capturing all the wonderful moments of our BIG day. Now…where am I going to hang all these photos in my house?? Looks like I’m going to have to buy a bigger one….

brenda watson - October 8, 2009 - 11:55 am

Cyndi: Kacy shared the photos with me and I can honestly say that I can feel the emotion in the photos. They are a very beautiful couple anyway but your pictures brought out the best of them and the different shots were amazing. This is the 6th wedding I have been to this year with two more left and these by far are the best wedding pictures yet!! great job!!

Reese (Mom) - October 8, 2009 - 12:18 pm

WOW Cyndi, just beautiful. You captured some very special moments. Can’t wait to see the rest of them. Thank you for helping to make my little girl’s day PERFECT.

deb - October 8, 2009 - 1:46 pm

Awesome pictures. You had your work cut out for you taking on this bridal party for sure. The whole group looked fabulous not to mention how stunning Kacy looked and that handsome Jesse. But one thing for sure I believe there is going to be a male stripper come out of one of those little guys. Great shots! I am looking forward in seeing the rest of the precious and special moments that you captured. Great job!!

Susan - October 9, 2009 - 1:55 pm

Everthing was beautiful and you did an awesome job! Of course you had 2 beautiful subjects to work with. Thanks for such beautifull memories.

Dulce - October 14, 2009 - 6:53 pm

What a perfect day for the perfect bride and groom. The pictures captured the essence of the day!

Mac - October 15, 2009 - 6:44 am

The pictures are awesome. Riverdale Manor is a great place for a wedding. Two thumbs up.

Diana and Todd – 09.18.09

We are in the heart of busy season!!! While I would love to be getting these blog posts up faster, it’s been slow-going and I apologize for that. So coming at you is the first of three weddings to blog.

On Friday, we traveled to Lancaster to capture the wedding of Diana and Todd. Diana had chosen a lovely jewel-tones theme for the wedding and I LOVED the way Riverdale Manor looked with all of the color. It was a nice hint of Fall too! We spent some time with the guys and girls before the ceremony then boarded the trolly to head to the church. After the ceremony and some refreshments at the church, we all headed back to Riverdale for more portraits and the reception.

Kari and Brad – 06.07.09

The day had finally arrived!!! Sunday was Kari and Brad’s wedding at Riverdale Manor and we couldn’t be more excited to spend the day with them. Not only were we spending the day at a fantastic venue but we were spending the day with two fantastic people! Lindsey and I arrived for getting ready shots with both the guys and girls and then prepared for Kari and Brad’s first glance of each other on the farmhouse porch. We did all of the family portraits before the ceremony (which we LOVE by the way) then moved inside to cool off before the ceremony was to begin. The ceremony was beautiful, occurring creekside with Brad’s brother-in-law officiating. After the ceremony, we got some alone time with Kari and Brad as we walked around the grounds. Then it was time for cocktail hour and the reception. The room at Riverdale looked amazing thanks to all of Kari’s hard work and special touches.

Below are our favorites. CLICK HERE for the slideshow.

Brittany and Craig – 05.25.09

Whew! We are still catching up from last weekend’s weddings and now we have a couple more to post from this past weekend. Last but not least from our triple header was the wedding of Brittany and Craig on Memorial Day. And what a beautiful place it was to get married at Riverdale Manor. Brittany and Craig are both in the service and it was very nice to see some of their guests wearing their uniforms. And how appropriate!
