WEDDING - Mike + Gina - Corbinview Farms, Reynoldsville PA

90-100% chance of rain ALL. DAY. LONG on your wedding day…what bride wouldn’t have a meltdown?! We stayed in contact throughout the week with Gina to provide ideas and encouragement on how we would make sure we get outdoor photos for her big day! Sam & I checked all the locations & possibilities, watched the radar like a hawk, and found the perfect pockets of time to steal our couple outside for some quick rain-free or light-drizzle portraits!! We just HAD to get those Fall leaves in some photos ;)

WEDDING - Sean + LeeAnn - Corbinview Farms, Reynoldsville PA

Yesterday was one of those gorgeous weather days that every Fall bride hopes for, blue skies & fluffy clouds all day long and a stunning sunset to cap it all off! For Sean, LeeAnn, and their wedding guests though, it was all about the party on the dance floor. The koozie favors pretty much summed it up, “We said the I Do’s, now it’s time for the booze”!

WEDDING - Kurt + Kristen - Lockwood Farms, Brookville PA
WEDDING - Kurt + Kristen - Lockwood Farms, Brookville PA

After 17 years of shooting weddings, we have seen a lot of ceremonies & receptions with your basic flow of events. But yesterday at Kurt + Kristen’s wedding, we got to see so many meaningful & fun firsts! The first time we’ve had groomsmen huddle with the groom to make a team decision on whether he should say “I Do” or not (see the sign pictured below for their answer!) Bubble guns for thousands of bubbles as the happy couple walked up the aisle. A special time during the ceremony for both sets of parents to pray over the rings. A round robin speed round during the reception, where all the guests got to run through the line to take their photo with the couple. AND SO MUCH MORE!

WEDDING - Albeno + Alicia - Historic Summit Inn, Farmington PA

I mean, come on with this dress!!! Actually everything, the u-shaped necklace, the phoenix tattoo across the back, and the “Viking” hair, as the bride called it…Alicia crushed her wedding day look! And Albeno was looking pretty snazzy himself in his emerald velvet tux and matching chucks. It was all a perfect match to their vintage venue: The Historic Summit Inn.

WEDDING - Kyle + Sarah - Corbinview Farms, Reynoldsville, PA
WEDDING - Kyle + Sarah - Corbinview Farms, Reynoldsville, PA

We were in stitches laughing with Kyle & Sarah at their engagement session, I knew their wedding day would be just as much fun! But it also had special moments and thoughtful touches. Dog treat favors for guests’ fur babies, hand-painted Converse sneakers for the bride, a game of rock, paper, scissors to see who would say their vows first, a lock & key unity ceremony, and a front row seat reserved for the bride’s late father. The day was truly memorable!

WEDDING - David + Lindsay - Rolling Rails Lodge, Port Matilda PA

Sam & I met Lindsay 10 years ago when she was a bridesmaid at her dear friend, Abby’s, wedding. When she got engaged last year, she reached out less than two weeks later (before even booking her venue or confirming her date) to make sure we could capture her day just like her best friends. What an honor to be asked and what an opportunity to capture stunning photos of a gorgeous bride! We are so glad we got to be a special part of your day <3

WEDDING - Sebastian + Chelsea - Rathmel Lodge, Reynoldsville , PA

In February, we captured photos of Sebastian & Chelsea’s intimate chapel ceremony, with only their immediate family in attendance. But yesterday was all about celebrating with extended family & friends! And which bride wouldn’t love a reason to wear a second dress?! ;) Their reception was filled with laughter, love, and all the laidback fun you would expect at a Summer celebration!

WOW, you really couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day for a September wedding! Warm weather, and gorgeous blue skies, I love capturing these stunning scenery shots for our couples, so they can remember how blessed their day was <3 I also love capturing so many unique details that our brides put into their weddings. including Julia’s “hidden Mickeys” sprinkled throughout the day…a Disney girl after my own heart!

WEDDING - Matt + Alexis - Lake Raystown Resort, Entriken, PA
WEDDING - Matt + Alexis - Lake Raystown Resort, Entriken, PA

Yesterday’s wedding was an unforgettable one for Matt + Alexis’ guests, no doubt! Beautiful weather for an outdoor ceremony by the water, a packed dance floor all night, ending with an epic Sparkler sendoff! But my favorite moments, hands down, were the ones unseen by most guests (until we showed them that evening with our Reception Screening, of course!) That morning, after Alexis got ready, she had 3 private First Looks with the most important men in her life: her father, Pappy, and new husband <3 Count it as another wedding shooting through tears in my eyes!!

WEDDING - Cameron + Taylor - Corbin View Farms, Reynoldsville, PA

Cameron and Taylor’s day finally arrived, after a reschedule due to the pandemic. 2020 proved to be a tough year for them, as they lost multiple loved ones who would have loved to been in attendance yesterday. A filled memorial table, a special song played during the toasts that brought tears to the guests’ eyes (mine included!) and such a sweet substitute of the best man, with his father stepping in to fill the role of his son who passed away last year <3

WEDDING - Nathan + Alexis - Camp Mountain Run, Penfield, PA

Nathan and Alexis had gorgeous weather like our other October weddings this year, but their day was unique to them in so many special ways. Butterflies cascading in Alexis’ hair, rose gold and floral rings, lanterns for the bridesmaids instead of bouquets, a 33 year old cake knife and serving set from the parents of the bride’s wedding, and so much more!

WEDDING - Freddy + Diane - Maple Shade Mansion, Brockway, PA

Sometimes things don’t go as planned, but they can be all the more special when they don't…not to mention, utterly romantic and memorable. Freddy & Diane had a few changes along the way when it came to the venue and guest count for their wedding day. But their final decision to host their immediate family at the gorgeous Maple Shade Mansion provided for an unforgettable day, as these two blended their families together!

WEDDING - Dan + Yvonne - Luthersburg, PA
WEDDING - Dan + Yvonne - Luthersburg, PA

As if Dan + Yvonne didn’t have enough to deal with this year when it came to wedding planning, the weather forecast decided to throw a hurricane into the mix! And in 14 years of shooting weddings, there aren’t many times we can remember the weather calling for 70% chance of rain & thunderstorms the night before the wedding AND THEN dropping down to 20% and cloudy when we woke up the next day!! Gorgeous blue skies, white fluffy clouds, and sunshine all day with about 5 minutes of rain during the ceremony, but that’s supposed to be good luck, right?! ;)
