saucon valley country club wedding | christa + chris

What’s this? A 2009 wedding where the sun was out? Amazing! Christa and Chris were married in Bethlehem at the end of November, and it really was a completely enjoyable day. This beautiful couple was a gem, very kind and fun to be around. As usual I was fortunate to have some great people to work with… Sandor Welsh came along to 2nd shoot for me, and I love having him along because he works like crazy to get the shot, and I know he’s going to deliver fantastic stuff.

Christa & Chris also hired Darrell Aubert as their videographer… Darrell is a a great guy to work with, and he does beautiful work, too. Brides… if you’re looking for a videographer, be sure to check him out!

Thanks as well to Pondelek’s Florists for their gorgeous arrangements, and to Bigg Romeo for keeping the party going!

I had asked Christa if there were any locations that had special meaning to her and Chris, and so we started shooting at the library at Lehigh University. Any chance I have to shoot in a new or unusual location is fine with me… check out this staircase!




After a little while Chris arrived for their first look. I love this shot Sandor got of Chris entering the building…









Back to the Hotel Bethlehem to finish getting ready…


Then the quick walk over to the Central Moravian Church for the ceremony.




The Saucon Valley Country Club was simply beautiful.



I love getting candid shots of the grandparents.

And, of course, the parent dances are always packed with emotion.


Christa & Chris, thank you again for welcoming us into your day!
