Nicole and Daniel – 08.20.11

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”.

Rachel and Michael – 07.29.11

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. ;)

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.

Alison and Dave – 04.04.09

I can’t tell you how excited I was for this day to get here! Not only was in the kickoff to our busy season, but it was also the wedding of Alison and Dave. We’ve become so close over the last year and I felt like I was spending the day with lifelong friends. After all, these were the people who introduced me to the Pinnacle of Death (as affectionately call it) during the engagement session. So Lindsey and I arrived at Riverdale Manor ready to rock and roll. :) We spent some time with both the guys (and their iPhones) and the girls, braving the wind and getting some great shots around the property. Then it was off to the First UMC in Lancaster for the ceremony. After the ceremony and the bubble exit, off we went in the limo. We made a quick stop at Steinman Park then it was back to Riverdale for portrait time and the reception. We had such a good time with everyone: the bridal party, the guests, and especially Alison and Dave. Their love for each other was just so evident every where you looked. The last thing of the evening was the sparkler send off.

Right now, Alison and Dave are honeymooning somewhere that I’ve always wanted to go. I fully expect to see TONS of pics when they get back. And, since I know they are checking, here are our favorites from the day. CLICK HERE for their slideshow.

The lovely Alison.

Dave actually requested a shot of all of us together. We asked one of the bridesmaid’s to help us out. She did a great job. ;) (By the way, this is what we look like after 9 hours at a wedding.)
