A.E.LANDES PHOTOBLOG

The contemporary space at American University’s Katzen Arts Center for Kendra and Mike’s Wedding was a fantastic backdrop, with strong architectural lines and a wide staircase for nice photographic compositions. With the weather cooperating and a large circular skylight over the ceremony and reception, the light overhead was glowing and softened a lot of the shadows – so the post-shoot editing I had to do was not as intensive. I just had to bring out the right colors and get the cropping just right. The paper lanterns and coffee-bean wedding cake (YUM!) were nice touches to this artistically-inspired wedding, and Kendra and Mike’s fun attitudes towards their wedding definitely comes through in the photos.

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!
