Christine and Rob – 06.20.09

This past Saturday, I woke up to the sound of rain. Pouring rain. That’s NEVER a good thing on a Saturday in June. June is wedding season. And rain, especially pouring rain, makes a wedding photographer cringe on wedding day. So I vented to my Facebook friends, said some prayers to God, and packed my bright orange poncho. I met up with the girls at Christine’s home while Lindsey headed on over to Rob’s house to hang out with the guys. The rain was off an on all throughout the mid afternoon, through getting ready and even through arrival at the church. But everyone was in good spirits and didn’t let the weather get them down. The ceremony was held at Second City Church which is a beautiful old church in the mid-town district of Harrisburg. The stained glass was just stunning next to all of the original woodwork. Christine and Rob had planned to have all of their guests release white balloons when they left the church. I was bummed because I thought white balloons on a cloudy sky aren’t going to show up very well. Lindsey went outside to wait for our lovely couple to come out of the church while I finished up some things with them inside. I followed them out. I was absolutely shocked to see BRILLIANT blue sky and tons of white balloons. It was beautiful and quite the surprise. And I’m happy to report that we only had one little shower while we were doing pictures with the bridal party at the Capitol and the Pride of the Susquehanna. :) Then it was off to the Sheraton for the reception. This was our first time at the Sheraton and the ballroom was really elegant. Lindsey and I enjoyed watching all of the great dancing by the guests!

Thanks Christina, Rob and families for having us. Below are our favorites of the day. CLICK HERE for your slideshow.
