Kim & Mike

Posted on July 26, 2008

Along with weddings, summer vacations and backyard BBQs, summer is engagement session season… it seems every time I walk outside I have camera in hand, off to another shoot — which is fine with me! On Tuesday I shot Kim & Mike’s engagement portraits. They brought their dogs along for part of the shoot and we had a great time. I’m psyched to shoot their wedding this February too!

6.28.08 - Dawn & James

Posted on July 25, 2008

It’s been 12 years since I graduated from the small, rural high school known as Twin Valley. Having lost touch with most people from that point in my life, you’d think that shooting the wedding of a classmate would be a rare occurence, but 2008 has proven otherwise. When Dawn first called me to discuss wedding photography, I thought, “Waitaminnit, that name sounds familiar…” Sure enough, a quick check of the ol’ yearbook confirmed it, and so on June 28 I shot my third Twin Valley grad wedding so far this year. (The other two? Here and here.)

I couldn’t ask for a more enjoyable couple to photograph, nor one so photogenic and so “in to” having their photos taken!









Dawn totally rocked her part of the shoot!













Sneaking out to take advantage of some end-of-day light.



It was really cool to see James dancing with his grandmother.



I’m pretty sure Dawn started the cake-smashing.







The whole event took place at French Creek Golf Club, which is just beautiful.



I also want to thank Kelli Cohee for joining me that day!

Okayokayokay, here’s the slideshow…

6.27.08 - Kristen & John

Posted on July 24, 2008

For John & Kristen’s wedding we found ourselves all over the place… getting ready outside the city, then headed into Old City for photos, quick drive up to the Basilica for the ceremony, then over to Pen Ryn Mansion for the reception. *whew* It was a fantastic day (I know, I always say that, but it’s true!) and the rain held off when we needed it to.

Every aspect of their wedding was beautiful. The dress…



The flowers…



The church wasn’t half bad…







We had pretty great light afterwards for photos.













And the party was hoppin’!





A huge shout-out to Ryan Goldman who 2nd shot with me for the day, too!
