Glimpse: Hailey + Dustin, Monterre Vineyards Wedding Photography

Our most recent blog takes us through Hailey + Dustin’s special day, and we couldn’t be more happy for this amazing couple. We started off close to home for all the getting ready shots. Hailey enjoyed a mimosa toast with her girls before getting into her beautiful sleeved wedding dress, while Dustin, rocking a fresh new hair cut, got all spiffed up back at his parents home. After all the finishing touches were done these two were ready to see each other for their first look. Stopping at Bicentennial park before the venue was not only perfect spot for a first look but also for the bridal party and some really great portraits of the soon to be newlywed’s. A few creative silhouettes, and we were off to the vineyards. Since Hailey + Dustin decided to do a first look we were able to get tons of great shots before the ceremony and really had a chance to utilize the beautiful vineyard backdrop. Nothing could have been more quaint than their intimate ceremony held below a beautiful old tree and the look on Dustin’s face as he watched his bride walk down the isle really says it all. The gorgeous sun light was peeking through the leaves as they said their “I do’s” and before we knew it they sealed it with a kiss. Now the only thing left to do was introduce this awesome married couple and get the party started with food and dancing! Monterrey Vineyard provided a very warming ambiance as well as catered some delicious dinners. Like always time fly’s when you’re having fun and before we knew we were lighting sparklers for a romantic send off. We want to give another huge congrats to Hailey + Dustin and wish them a lifetime of happiness!

Glimpse: Cara + Garrett, Woolverton Inn Wedding Photography

We couldn’t be more excited to share this wedding blog because it’s family! We were thrilled when my cousin Garrett and his fiancé Cara reached to us to about photographing their big day. It feels like just yesterday Garrett and I were kids hanging out with family around the holidays and now I was meeting Garrett’s amazing soon to be wife and her family for this very special event. Cara and Garrett chose the quaint Woolverton Inn for their outdoor wedding and we even had the chance to get a sense of the venue during their engagement session last year. Nestled away along the Delaware riverside this B&B truly was a hidden gem. The day started off with the couple and bridal party getting ready at the Inn. The nice thing was there was lodging so everyone was already there! Cara got her finishing touches done before a sweet moment with mom as Garrett and guys finished suiting up. We must say they both looked amazing! A “first look” was not only the perfect moment but a great decision because we were now able to get all the photos done before the rain. Gotta love a plan that comes together! A quick and joyful ceremony led right into cocktail hour where friends and family do what they do best…eat, drink, and catch up. The reception tent was styled with charm and the party the ensued after was a true testament of how much love and support friends and family have for these newlyweds. Another big congrats to Cara + Garrett!

Glimpse: Elliot + Kelly, Blue Mountain Resort Wedding Photography

Kelly + Elliot are a shining example of why we love our jobs so much! The amount of love, support, and friendship that surrounded them every second of their big day was overly evident in each photo. We’re so grateful and glad we were able to part of that. The day started off with a few celebratory moments with the gentleman as they finished up getting ready and then we headed over to Kelly’s parents to meet the girls. We had fun taking pics of all the little personal details that Kelly woven into her day as well as grabbing a super warming first look with dad. A quick car drive to the venue where we got a few more bridal formals in before go-time. Blue Mountain and the beautiful valley bellow set the mood for a perfect outdoor ceremony and Elliot’s expression while first seeing Kelly was truly the cherry on top. A fun and playful beach theme was the perfect pop against the green PA backdrop and the overcast misty weather gave off a glowing warm light which was absolutely perfect for their portraits. After enjoying some time at cocktail hour it was just about ready for intros and Freddie Fredrick Jr. introduced Kelly + Elliot with a romantic first dance on the clouds as newlyweds. What a way to start things off and the fun only got better as the night went on. Blue Mountain was so accommodating for all the guest and Freddie kept everyone dancing the night away. One last creative shot of the beautiful couple before the night ended and just like that, another amazing wedding was coming to a close. We couldn't be more happy for Kelly + Elliot and wish them years of happiness!

Glimpse: Jessie + Shane, Trout Lake Retreats Wedding Photography

Nothing beats a beautiful wedding ceremony surrounded by nature and Jessie + Shane’s big day was just that. Trout Lake had everything for creating lasting memories and the sunset on the lake was nothing sort of spectacular. The morning was full of little intimate moments, finishing touches, and a very special first look with dad. We grabbed a few bridal shots before the ceremony and just love how the fence added the perfect amount of rustic charm to warm bridesmaid theme. Just in time for the ceremony the sun popped out covering everyone and creating a cloud filled reflection on the lake. The warm light continued until sunset as we finished up with portraits and it was just about time to introduce the newlyweds! Freddie Fredrick Jr. got right into it with some formal dances and speeches before kicking the party off right! What an amazing day for a great couple! A big congrats to Jessie + Shane and to many years of happiness!

Glimpse: Annalyse + Dillon, Woodstone Country Club Wedding Photography

We are so excited to share some photos from Annalyse + Dillon's beautiful wedding day at Woodstone Country Club! We had the pleasure of working with Annalyse’s wonderful family a year ago while photographing her sister Katelyn’s wedding. It really was nice seeing the family again and a joy to meet Dillon’s side. Annalyse’s dress and hair were out of a fairy tale and complemented the bridal parties burgundy theme perfectly. As a preemptive approach, the ceremony was brought inside which made this moment even more intimate for friends and family. The grounds were vibrant and the subtle overcast provided some amazing soft light to shoot with. A few bridal portraits and it was about ready for introductions. The new Mr. + Mrs. Tanzos enjoyed the first dance on the clouds with everyone watching and the evening only got better from there. Heartwarming speeches and some delicious entrees were perfect for charge up for a night of dancing! All and all the day was perfect up to the personal firework show send off! We are so happy for this amazing couple and wish them a lifetime of happiness

Glimpse: Shannon + Joe, Blue Mountain Resort Wedding Photography

It’s always so nice seeing a couple again after you had done their engagement photos nearly a year earlier. Time really does fly and we’re so happy we got to be a very small part of Shannon + Joe’s awesome journey. Blue Mountain Resort was such a great venue choice with views of rolling green and enough space the guest to really stretch out and enjoy. The subtle overcast day also gave us the perfect misty warm light for beautiful photos which was awesome. We started the day off with some finishing touches getting ready followed by a very personal and loving first look. Even though Joe got to see Shannon during the first look he still was totally floored watching her be walked down the aisle by her brother. The ceremony was beautiful, short and sweet leaving us plenty of time to utilize all the views for formal photos and portraits. A quick walk to cocktail hour to prep for a killer reception! Live music, great food, and drinks, friends, family, needless to say, everyone was enjoying themselves! We had such a nice time and couldn’t be happier for this amazing couple. A huge congrats to Shannon + Joe! We wish you both a lifetime of happiness!
