Kristen & Matt | Harrisburg, PA Wedding Photographer

Posted on July 2, 2010

We ventured up once again to beautiful central Pennsylvania for the wedding of Kristen & Matt. These two were such joys to work with! They were up for anything and left us so much time for photos. Love that!!

Due to a small logistics glitch, the bride, groom and bridal party all had to get ready in the same room!  Good thing for portable dividers.  Kristen’s dad got there early and enjoyed a quiet moment getting ready before the the entire bridal party showed up.

Ben tells me that when a guy is putting on his shoes, he has the most time to think about the day ahead – its the one part of getting ready that all guys know how to do already (hey how many guys put on tuxes each day!), the mind goes on autopilot and gives them a chance to think.  I can only imagine that Matt is thinking about Kristen and the big moments that are about to happen that day.

Julia and her grandpa. Kristen and Matt got married at the Zembo Shrine. What a gorgeous location! Plus the weather was just perfect. It was hot and humid all day until the minute we arrived at the reception and then downpour! At that point though who cares!

Work it ladies!

Married.  We love the moments in the ceremony when serious and composed gives way to the real emotions underneath. One of my favorite moments of the day is when the couple is introduced as Mr. & Mrs.

Sam’s favorite!

My view on the left. Ben’s on the right.

Ben was moving around the dance floor and came out from behind one of the support columns only to find Matt serenading Kristen as they danced – love it

Julia, the flower girl, was such a trooper all day. She played with this magna doodle the entire ceremony and then carried it around most of the night. Though, as you can see, she did have some moments but all was right in the world a few minutes later when the DJ played her favorite Taylor Swift song.

The carved monogram on the right was their cake topper!

Ben’s favorite! Gives us chills every time we look at it.  If there was a picture that captured absolute bliss, this is it.  Such a perfect moment. This is why we love what we do. To get to capture these moments so they can be remembered forever.

Congratulations Kristen & Matt!!

We have a handful of blog posts coming up for a bunch of weddings and sessions we have done recently but we are still working on getting everything together for them. So instead a sneak peek of one of those upcoming posts.

Kristen & Matt – Married

Jen & Brian – Part 2

More awesomeness from Jen and Brian’s wedding.

Handsome! and off the market!

That’s the Harrisburg skyline in the background. We could have shot here all day. Everything was just perfect at this location…the sky, the water, the boat, the couple….GREAT suggestion guys!

The guys on their way to the next photo op. Very GQ.

A little alley action is always a must when shooting downtown.

Jen and all her beautiful bridesmaids in front of the Pennsylvania State Capital building in Harrisburg.

A little fun around the back of the capital in front of the PINK foundation. Harrisburg dyes the foundation behind the capital pink in October for Breast Cancer Awareness month. Who knew?!

Doesn’t this photo just make you want to break into song? “Wishin’ and hopin’ and thinkin’ and prayin’ plannin’ and dreamin’ each night of his charms……” Ok, maybe just me.

Awesome shoes. Check. Awesome socks. Check. GORGEOUS bride and groom. Check and Check.

The bridal party staging room was down that hallway where the catering staff was rushing around.  Ben caught these two darlings trying to catch a sneak peak of the bride and groom before they made their grand entrance.

My favorite on the right. I LOVE first dances.

Brian worked that garter like a pro! I think everyone was impressed.

Jen & Brian did the coolest thing at their reception, instead of them just kissing whenever anyone clinked their glasses they instead had the DJ draw a couples name out of a bowl and that couple had to kiss and Jen & Brian would mimic it. There was some pretty funny ones. This was one of the sweetest moments.

Congratulations to Jen and Brian!  You guys rock!

Thanks for letting us share your day with you.

Sam & Ben

Jen & Brian – Part 1

Posted on October 12, 2009

We traveled up to our hometown of Hershey, PA for the wedding of Jen & Brian. We really couldn’t have asked for better weather. Bright blue sunny skies! We had similar weather for their engagement session we did a couple of weeks prior to their big day (those photos coming soon!).

For Jen it was a whirlwind of hair and makeup in the morning with the much appreciated mimosa to calm any nerves. Isn’t Jen just a stunner! Fierce!

How gorgeous are those earrings!

Meanwhile the men where hanging out at the hotel swapping stories and getting ready. As a gift to all of his groomsmen, Brian got them all matching argyle socks from Banana Republic. Aren’t they great!

The church had some crazy beautiful light coming in through the stained glass windows!   Fun fact – each of the 7 windows in the church depicts an artists rendering of the 7 sacraments.

Notice the bow and rosary in Jen’s bouquet. I love all the little details that were put into each and every aspect of their day.

Jen, your eyes definitely have the stained glass beat for most gorgeous blue in this shot.  Hello handsome bride and groom!

The priest’s homily was not only touching but funny. It was perfect.

Married.  This one makes me smile every time I look at it.
