Maria and Jon

What can I say? This wedding was wonderful in every way. I cried during the ceremony. I get so embarassed when I cry at weddings, and I am the photographer. But I am very "into" my couple and my wedding, and I get to know them, and well, it just chokes me up. I LOVE it! Maria and Jon are amazing.. their love for God and each other was so evident and just inspiring to watch. They both come from super big families, and are just the sweetest people. The whole day was super hot and humid, but all day I just kept thinking how much I loved being at their wedding, and having the honor of photographing their love for each other, family and friends. Then I teared up again at the reception during the toast, and during the dances. It was a beautiful reception, at a renovated loft in the historic district of downtown Carlisle.. the Carlisle Ribbon Mill. This place was a photographers DREAM! It was just gorgeous with lots of natural light, sunlight, old brick, etc. What a beautiful place for a reception.. I highly recommend it! NOT to mention, Dickinson College was a block down the road, and the beautiful opportunities for photos there makes my heart race!! (Did I mention that I love my job?? :)) I got lucky again, with a bridal party that was up for anything.. even with a pregnant one! What a beautiful day Maria and Jon, and thanks for letting me be a part of it!

Jamie and Jon

What a great wedding! Talk about a laid back bride! I knew Jamie's mom, Margie from a few years ago and it was such a pleasure to photograph Jamie's wedding! It was at the Coleman chapel, a beautiful old building. Jamie and Jon had a GREAT wedding party, and they were up for anything! It was so hot that day, but they were such troopers with photographs. Jon was so sweet, and when he saw Jamie walk up the aisle, the look on his face was priceless. Once again, made me teary-eyed!! (and him a little too!!) But don't worry, we LOVE it when you cry!!! Jamie made such a beautiful bride and Jamie and Jon's relationship is so carefree, laid back and refreshing!! It was a pleasure to be a part of their special day!!

Jen and Jon

What a great way to start my 2010 wedding season! Jen and Jon were such a blast, and I don't think I've ever met a more laid back bride. Just the sweetest thing! And they are soo in love.. and they've been together FOREVER, which makes it even sweeter :) My friend Eve let me use her beautifully restored barn to snap some photos, which made things extra special. Thanks Jen and Jon for making it a great day!

Amber and Dave- Engaged!

This couple was an absolute BLAST to photograph.. first of all, we were in the city. And those of you who know me, know that I LOVE the city! I especially love the capitol, and it's a photographer's dream. Secondly, Amber and Dave were up for anything.. I said "jump".. and they said "how high?" Literally.. check out some of the photos!! It was so windy and cold, but I was having so much fun, I didn't even realize that I was freezing half to death until I was done and got into the car... but it was so worth it!! I can't wait until their wedding!

Engaged!!

I just LOVE this couple... they are sooo sweet! I only had about TEN minutes to photograph them before it started pouring down rain, with a lightning storm! When I met them, it turns out we have a lot of connections from the past.. both Matt and I had the same fifth grade teacher from a small Christian school.. and Matt's grandfather and my husband's grandfather were great friends.. what a small world! I am SO excited to photograph their wedding in August at the Hershey Gardens- they make such a beautiful couple!!
