When I first met with Brian and Kristen about their wedding, they told me they wanted a fun wedding. Kristen’s mom added that she would definitely be dancing the entire night. They weren’t kidding! Some of my final pictures were Kristen’s mom on the dance floor drinking from a pitcher. Such a fun bunch!

Kristen got ready at her parents’ house with all her girls there with her. Her dad, a former military policeman reminisced with me while he shined his shoes. When he finished, I could seriously have used them for a mirror. He explained that someone that was in charge of issuing citations for improper dress, he had to have his outfit be perfect in every way. The shoes were especially important; they sometimes shined for hours at a time to build up the depth.

Luckily the rain held off for the photos before , but the ceremony was moved under the pavilion because of a rainstorm. Luckily enough it was clear again after the ceremony for a couple quick shots before the rain started up again. Brian and Kristen decided to have everyone hold lighters for their first dance together, and at the end of the night, I got pulled into the mix and photographed with some of my new friends

Thanks so much for letting me be part of your celebration.

Erica and Jason wanted to have a wedding in the fall at the center of the town where her parents own a cabin, so I agreed to make the trek into the mountains where fall comes earlier and the trees had already started to drop their leaves. In the center of town is a gazebo in the park where they planned to tie the knot. Unfortunately with the extra rainfall, the ceremony had to be moved in front of the gazebo, but that didn’t stop them from having a beautiful little ceremony officiated by the town’s mayor.

Erica had to forgo wearing her colorful Kate Spade shoes for the ceremony, but got them out for the reception at the Eagles Mere Country Club. After eating some delicious dinner and cupcakes, the guests joined on the dance floor to have a great time!

Such a beautiful area up there, and fall is my favorite season

Eric and Gretchen had been dating for 8 years on the day of their wedding. Eric recalled pulling all his money together to take Gretchen to a fancy restaurant for their 1 month anniversary. He even sold a bunch of video games to afford it. He knew she was worth the investment even back then. Now 8 years later, he threw quite an 8 year anniversary dinner if you ask me!

The rain shower that hit right when outside photos were going to start didn’t dampen any spirits as the guys recreated the iconic Abbey Road album cover shot in downtown Lititz. The girls held off till after the ceremony and made sure we had a shot with “spirit fingers”

Since Eric is a DJ, I knew from the moment I met them that their wedding would be a great party atmosphere. They didn’t disappoint! They broke out the glow sticks early on and danced into the night. It was a perfect time to try some cool lighting effects on my shots. They even pulled me out onto the dance floor and had the best man take some photos.

In the days leading up to the 9/10/11 wedding, I wondered if all the flooding would recede and be back to normal again so that Josh and Michelle could have their wedding planned for the Moon Dancer winery. Since the roadways to get to the winery run close to the Susquehanna River and we had the worst flooding in the area since 1972, I was happy to hear that on the morning of the wedding the roads were opened back up again.

This wasn’t the only roadblock they encountered. A few months ago, Josh had an accident at work where he fell and broke both of his lower bones in his leg. Doctors said that it would be a miracle if he was able to walk by his wedding day. He showed determination and not only walked, but stayed on his feet most of the night dancing! The wedding was dedicated to Michelle’s father who passed away before he could see her walk down the aisle, but was there in spirit. This wedding was full of surprises including a 4 leaf clover found by a bridesmaid as well as a butterfly landing and sitting on the brides hand on the dance floor.
