I feel that Erin and Matt’s wedding had a lot of attention paid to the details - from Erin’s wonderful veil to the choir practicing all afternoon to the very excellent reception. Everything was tip-top, and it was delightful to be a part of it. I really enjoyed the time I got to spend with Erin and Matt right after the wedding: as all the usual craziness was happening, they were having a sweet moment by a window in the church, which was perfectly lit and just a really nice pose. We had some fun with everyone posing in the Alumni Gardens, and then the guests laid down some serious dancing at the reception at General Potter’s Farm. Simply a hoot.

I had a great time with Megan and Ben on their special day - from the shots of Megan and her mom beforehand, to the ceremony setting at the Penn State, and finally the fun reception with the family, it was all a very memorable time. My favorite series of images are the one of Megan’s mom and her sister, Megan and Ben seeing each other for the first time, and Megan dragging that guy out to the dance floor. Also, spending time with Ben’s family that morning was really special - I was so happy to be a part of it.

Lauren and Patrick’s wedding is one to definitely chalk up in the “Ridiculously Fun” category! When putting together this wedding gallery, I was looking for some sweet, low-intensity images from the reception… Alas, I could find very few without someone yelling, crazy dancing, or Elmo from Sesame Street (you’ll see what I mean). Some of my favorite ones are of their grandfather praying before dinner, the guests’ dance floor antics and Lauren’s cousin tying her father’s shoe. And I love the one of Lauren laughing in Pat’s arms during the formal shots - I believe lots of laughing and wonderful memories will follow them wherever they go.

Here are the highlights from Lauren and Patrick’s Wedding Gallery.

Set in the wonderful backdrop of the Toftrees Resort in State College, PA, Katie and Austin had their sweet ceremony on the croquet courts and the reception in the main hall. I had a great time during the pre-ceremony shots with Katie and the bridesmaids, working with this gorgeous, singular mirror in their suite. Katie’s wonderful eyes and the charming Mr. Austin made for some great formal images, and the reception photos were full of cupcakes, cigars, and conversations. Plus that crazy guy doing the worm and the other guy doing ninja moves. Yowza!

Out in the great setting of Estes Park in Colo-RAD-o, Lindsay and Adam pulled together one of the most memorable weddings to date (they are close friends with my fiance and myself). Yes, outdoor weddings with friends on top of a mountain in cold rain, snow, and fog make for lots of shenanigans and great pictures. The ceremony did end up in a very nice chapel in the Rocky Mountain YMCA, but the reception was in a three sided outdoor pavilion, complete with propane heaters and warm bodies to keep the party going. A beautiful snow the next day gave us some wonderful formal images, and I can’t wait to get out to see them (and Colorado) again soon!

Emily and Chris are two wonderful people - and I am not just saying that because Em is my cousin! Their wedding took place in a little church in downtown Richmond, which had great light all over and some real gritty allies behind it (a PERFECT setting for a wedding dress and a military uniform!). Billowy clouds and the renovated dance hall made for some great photos outside just before the reception. And capturing my expanding family having fun was one of the best times for me as a photographer. Enjoy the photos!

First off, I have to thank Kristen (and Ethan… but he had a jacket) for braving the 20 degree weather outside for a few shots! It was cold outside, but the stage lighting and great musicians and close friends made for some amazing photography - even though we were mostly confined to being inside. Highlights for me as a photographer were spending time with the ladies getting ready, posing the guys outside in the super-urban setting, and the sweet time with Kristen and Ethan after the ceremony. But as a friend of the couple, it was so great to see two people with big dreams get together and take off - I am really excited to see where they go. Congrats and much love to the couple!

I had met Matt and Leah last year at the famous wedding of Meghan and Mike. By the time I was done photographing Matt and Leah’s wedding, I had a great sense of the very special friendship they have within their romantic relationship. And trying to capture that in photographs was challenging and fun at the same time.

I enjoyed spending time with the Leah and ladies as they prepared for the day, and with Matt and the boys out by the river in Bellefonte after the ceremony. We had great weather for photographs outside, and the reception had lots of fun and crazy moments to capture as well.

Welcome back to the Alma Mater! Gina and Jeff are a great couple who came back up from the DC area to be married on Penn State’s beautiful campus, and I can’t blame them. We had gorgeous weather and a very flexible schedule with plenty of time in between the ceremony at the Eisenhower Chapel and the reception at the Nittany Lion Inn. We were able to hit all the great locations on campus for their formals, but my favorite was a simple shot from the inn’s lobby - a back-lit kissing shot frames this couple so nicely. And there’s nothing like the bride-and-groom’s mothers table-dancing during the reception. What a great time and such a great couple!

I met Blaire and Dan at her sister’s wedding last fall and needless to say, I was so happy to work with this wonderful family again! Blaire and Dan broke some of the traditional wedding rules - they had a very intimate ceremony with their families, and then broke out the cupcakes, a skateboard helmet, and dancing for the reception. For the couple’s shots, we made some great photographs outside in the back-lit leaves, and then moved inside for a fancy interior backdrop. Blaire’s beauty and Dan’s stoic demeanor made working with them so easy, and I can readily admit their devotion and love for one another is inspiring. You both have my best as you see the world together!
