Keri & Jim's Wedding

Keri & Jim's wedding day was a hot one. But we still managed to sneak outside for some amazing portraits at each location with them and the bridal party including some of the most beautiful and colorful wedding colors and flowers. I've known Keri since we both were really little, and it was so much fun to be the photographer at her wedding and see so many fun familiar faces during the day!

I really LOVE the portraits of Keri that I took at her parent's house. She was smiling ear to ear as she walked out of the bedroom after getting dressed. You could tell she was thrilled to be getting married!
We started in Littlestown, PA for her bridal portraits, family, and bridesmaid photos, and then we headed straight to the church to capture photos of Jim & his (many) men and boys that were part of his bridal party. The little boys kept me busy...making sure they were all looking and smiling at the same time!

The ceremony was at the church Keri grew up going to, Trinity Lutheran Church in Taneytown, and then the reception was at the beautiful Wakefield Valley Golf Course in Westminster, MD. I also had a great time working with Marshall of Maverick Productions Videography company capturing all of the action on the dance floor.

Keri & Jim, I know you are enjoying the Carribbean right now, soaking up the sun, but I can't wait for you to come back home & see these highlights from your special day. I think you will be pleased :)

Hawaii

Right before Sarah & Tony's wedding, Matt & I got back from the beautiful Hawaiian islands. I just had to post one of my favorite images of one of the turtles we got to snorkel with! It was an amazing trip, and I can't wait to post some highlights of our trip. The landscapes were amazing to see, and I took way too many photos! Right now, my wedding editing is taking first seat!
I have another beautiful wedding in Taneytown and Westminster tomorrow with Keri & Jim. Stay tuned for some highlights from their wedding early next week. This blog is going to be busy for the next month with all the events happening!

Sarah & Tony's Wedding!

Last night, we photographed Sarah & Tony's beautiful summer wedding at Boulder Ridge at Liberty Mountain. It rained all morning, but when it came time to take photos before the wedding, the sun shined & everything was perfect. Sarah was a picture perfect bride and I think the most relaxed girl I've ever photographed on her wedding day!

Sarah & Tony decided to have a first look and see each other before the ceremony so that they could take photos prior and be able to enjoy the reception with their guests in the evening without taking time for photos afterwards. The timeline worked out great, and their first look was priceless! I loved taking their first photos together all around the property.

After we finished the formal photos, Sarah & Tony signed the Ketubah, the Jewish marriage contract with their family and friends witnessing their marriage. Then, the ceremony took place outdoors on the patio & the cocktail hour and reception in the rustic lodge on Liberty Mountain.

After dinner & toasts, the night went on with plenty of dancing. I don't remember seeing the dance floor empty the entire night! They danced to the Hora & put Sarah, Tony, and also Sarah's parents up on chairs in the middle of the circles!

The entire day was amazing, and I'm so glad I was able to be part of Sarah & Tony's wedding. I hope you both have an amazing time on your honeymoon, and I hope these photos with help you re-live last night before you leave! Congrats to you both!!!
