Emily and Jarrad – 06.25.11

July 3, 2011 – 9:55 am

We ended our June weddings with the fantastic wedding of Emily and Jarrad. Everything happened in downtown Harrisburg which made for an easy day. We started at the Harrisburg Hilton where both the guys and the girls were getting ready. It was just a short ride to State Street to the church where the ceremony would be held. And after the ceremony, it was just a short walk to the Civic Club for the reception. The entire day went off without a hitch. Well almost. Let’s just say I had to put on my seamstress hat and do a little sewing thanks to Jarrad. ;) After everyone was in and settled at the Civic Club, the parties of all parties started. Emily, Jarrad and all of their guests certainly know how to party. The dance floor was PACKED all evening!

Now for the images…

I absolutely love this image of Jarrad.

The boys.

Emily was just radiant. Once the dress was on, it was hard to keep her from smiling.

Some details from the day.

Hanging out before the ceremony.

There were cute kids everywhere at this wedding.

What a good looking group.

We liked spending some time alone with just Emily and Jarrad.




First dance.

This was an interesting way to end the bouquet and garter section of the evening. No chair was involved. ;)

Then the party kicked into high gear.



Thanks for showing us a good time guys! Hope you enjoyed your time away.

Rayni and Matt – 05.08.10

May 13, 2010 – 9:22 pm

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.

Checking for leftover cake.

Christina and Jeff – Esession

June 19, 2009 – 9:15 am

We always seem to get these stretches where everyone chooses to go to the same location for their sessions (whether that be weddings, engagements or portraits). Apparently, we are in one of those stretches with the Capitol. We were there last Saturday for Nicole and James’ wedding portraits and the very next day, I met Christina and Jeff there for their engagement session. I had met Christina before at her consultation but this was my first time meeting Jeff. They are such a cool couple!! They made my job very easy because they were so relaxed with each other. Jeff mentioned that he had this “blinking” problem :) but honestly, I wouldn’t have known it if he didn’t say something. They were both so natural in front of the camera. We are looking forward to their Fall wedding.

It was a VERY bright day so we worked a lot with flair and shadows.

We did leave the Capitol and do some shots on State Street before walking around City Island. Jeff is a HUGE baseball fan. :)
