Kristin is another one of my wife’s co-workers that I have been lucky enough to work for over the years. Although I didn’t get a chance to meet John until three days before the weddings I immediately saw their love for each other. The talk of the day was the heat, but I was so in the zone that it didn’t bother me one bit. Enjoy their slideshow…one of my last for the summer…and the way the heat has been I’ll appreciate the break!

Jackie emailed me on Thursday, February 4th a day before one of the huge snow storms we got last winter. Her email asked if we can do their engagement session in the snow…it clinched the fact that I was going to have a great time working with them. So, we trekked through 30 inches of snow and through 90 degree temperatures on their wedding. A perfect balance! Here is their day…
Click the shopping cart in the slideshow to purchase images from these images. All images from this wedding will be available in six weeks.
And here are my favorite moments of the day…
We did this in the snow engagement session as well…all their idea
Now this is how you get down in a wedding dress…
What a great look from Jackie’s Mom to her husband…
I don’t know if it was a slip of the tongue or intentional, but the best man toast referred to the homily as the eulogy…nice reaction from Jackie’s sister!
Sword fighting with the bridesmaids…thanks Heather for being there to capture this action!
Oh little box of coolness you make me so happy…

Kimberly and Jon’s day might have been HOT but the day was smooth and they were both so cool all day long. Even starting the day with the hair dresser’s power out…Kimberly improvised. When the power was out at the reception…they rolled with it (fortunately French Creek had generators to keep the power on!). Everything fell into place with thanks to God…and they have Him to thank for finding each other. What a perfect couple and I was honored to witness this…
This was the sister of Kelly from last year and although it was in the same church and reception location, I worked very hard to make it look different as possible. But one thing remained the same apparently…this is an email from Kelly after I put the slideshow online…
“…it was great seeing you at Kim and Jon’s wedding. It brought back memories of how you were such a “calming” presence on my wedding day. You were so laid back and just helped me relax the whole day! I talked to Kim and she felt the same way.
Thanks again.”
That being said…here are my favorite moments from the day…
I rarely get to see this, bride and groom zooming away in the dark to the hotel before leaving for the honeymoon!
Kim’s face is just amazing…
Josh, one of the groomsmen, and one of my grooms from last year, actually called his wife and asked if he was really supposed to wear these socks…
A little blurry, yes, but walking backwards with the couple down the aisle isn’t exactly easy to do, but this is a great moment of joy
This isn’t exactly joy…but hilarious…note ring pillow on the ground and puckering lip of the flower girl…
Reading Jon’s note to her…Jon reading her note was about the same reaction

Aileen and Nick were just awesome to photograph! Their emotion and love for each other was worn on their sleeves. With the third wedding in eighteen months for Aileen’s family, they were certainly experts at this point. It was an incredible day despite needing a knife to cut through the heat and humidity! Enjoy their story…
Nick asked me one question when they met with me long ago…will you make me look good? I tried and believe I succeeded. He is a great guy and we all had a good time despite blazing heat…did I mention it was hot this summer for EVERY wedding!
No idea what they were talking about…but they do…
Nick’s range of emotion were great…Mom wiping away that tear
Right place…right time…and a little luck. Actually I was watching here the entire time Nick and Aileen went out for a little dance after dinner. The light happened to be positioned just right and BANG…got it!
Photography during the dancing is as much about listening as it is watching…this was happening across the dance floor from me and I heard it…welcome to the family Nick!

Thanks to shooting Drew’s brother’s wedding a few years ago, it was almost a foregone conclusion that I’d at least be considered for Drew and Terri’s wedding. Although we didn’t have a chance to connect on an engagement session…photographing their wedding was like photographing family. Yes, it was HOT but you would never know by their attitude throughout the day.
There were lots of great, funny, moments throughout the day, here are my favorites…
Poetic for me…that is her Dad’s shadow on the wall to the right…as he is seeing his daughter in her dress for the first time
It was hot, but this moment is about holding it together which Terri was trying to do all day long!
I don’t think I need to comment on this…
I don’t recall what was in the shot they all did, but Terri’s Mom didn’t think it tasted all that great!

Terri and Drew,
The whole day was beautifuly as are the pictures! Thank you for including me and have fun on your Honeymoon!
Love you,
Neena
Andrea and Shaun, fellow WCU graduates, found me on the internet a long time ago, and trusted me, and me alone, to capture their amazing day. The weather was just perfect and we had a total blast. I was honestly a bit nervous since it has been a while since I shot a wedding on my own, but it all went perfectly. Here is a snapshot of their day!
Here are my few favorites from the day…
I don’t set-up shots…period…this just happened and a little comment from my spurred the laughter…great!
Their flower girl was enamored with Andrea all day, and I noticed it from this very first shot I got of Andrea that day…and as you saw in the other post she gave it a thumbs up!
You wonder what they are looking at don’t you? You might think a naked person, a zebra…nope just the largest limo EVER! It was a surprise!
One of my favorite times during the day…bridal party pictures are finished, and now just a moment for the couple…

Can’t wait to see them all
I try to define my work by capturing amazing moments and memories throughout a wedding day. On Saturday there was one of those moments that seemed to move in slow motion. As the bride, Andrea, was processing with her father to meet the groom, Shaun, the flower girl shot her the thumbs up! Now, it wasn’t luck at all that helped me get the shot.
What got me the shot was watching everyone from the time I started photographing Andrea and the girls two hours before the ceremony. The first think I noticed when walking into Andrea’s room was the flower girl watching, in awe, as Andrea was getting ready. The look on her face continued as the day progressed. She was clearly enthralled with how beautiful Andrea looked in her wedding dress.
So, of course, I was watching that little flower girl all day, waiting for THAT moment, and in a span of about a second and a half, it happened. I grabbed my camera, and got this…
No, it isn’t perfect, photographically speaking, and I’d change a thing or two if I could time travel. But, sometimes, the moment is the most important thing and a flaw or two can be excused for the sake of a neat moment!

Well, Sunday the boys and I did our best to treat the most important lady in our lives as best we could. Starting with our tradition of serving her breakfast and presents in bed.
After church we had a nice visit to Longwood Gardens followed by a nice dinner out. Our Moms deserve a lot of praise and thanks to my wife for supporting me while i take pictures of pretty brides on the weekends!
And of course congrats to all my wedding couples celebrating their first Mother’s Day.
PS I am having fun posting this from our new iPad…
We started the day before by giving her a couple new plants that the boys selected and picked where to plant them.
Then on to Longwood
All shot with a super fun, portable, Canon S90 camera, great choice for a point and shoot.

This year has been kind of slow in the Spring but that has allowed lots of family time. Thanks to a good friend, Scott, I have been connected to a great guy that works for the Phillies. He totally hooked me up with a huge favor and treated Andrew and I to watch Phillies batting practice from behind home plate. I don’t think Andrew’s mouth ever closed and I was excited as well.
The boys apparently checking out a bat…
The wide view…
Not a Phillie, but one of the greatest hitters of all time…
My future major leaguer! Or if he becomes what he wants to be, a sports photographer!

I have know Jane for at least 10 years and it was the first wedding of one of the church youth group “kids”. It was such an honor and privilege to be a part of their day, and capturing the emotion of the day was awesome. It truly was a thrill to watch Jane and Alex culminate their journey together in faith. Here is a short look at their day…enjoy.

Absolutely stunning! Congrats to you both and I wish you the utmost happiness!
Jenn and Omar may have had a windy, extremely rainy, day, but at least the best part was that if it had been colder we would have had 7 feet of snow! We all easily survived a bit of rain and took advantage of great locations and everyone’s positive attitude about the day. Here is a snapshot of their day followed by a couple of my favorites from the day.
Rainy days at weddings are certainly a challenge, but I love finding locations that others may miss, and in this case, gave Jenn & Omar their first quiet moment of the day.
Why is Jenn’s hair blowing inside? Because the front door was open over 50 feet away and not only was it blowing, but it was raining inside!
This cracked me up…Dad said not to take that picture, but perhaps the last time Jenn can easily ask for money from Dad!
Omar’s family is from Peru, and the expression on his Dad’s face of seeing Jenn walking down the aisle was awesome.
Yeah it is okay to laugh and have fun during communion…I had to sneak this shot
Caught this little moment in the bridal suite…
This was a first, a “stripper”, clown, and their college mascot…long story, but the best man’s toast was a first for me.
Restrooms aren’t just for…well you know…restful moment.
This moment was shielded for me, but another reason to have a second photographer…thanks Heather for catching Dad’s reaction to Mother and Son dancing.

This was a great wedding! and the pictures are even better. I hope you both will be as happy forever as you were on that day. I Love You both..Always,Aunt Pat
A few days before the first of two huge snow storms, Jackie emailed me and asked about doing their engagement session in the snow. We made Plan A and Plan B…we ended up with Plan B since there was two feet of snow falling on the first day. The Sunday after, however, was absolutely amazing. Not a cloud in the sky and Jackie and Mike could not have been more fun. Every idea I had, they loved, so we had a blast. Here are a few of my favorites!
