Jess & Brian 7.25.09

Jessica and Brian's wedding was awesome. We love bridal parties with personality, and this one had it in spades. The guys spontaneously broke into song throughout the day, and it was clear to see how happy everyone was that the big day had finally come. Here, Durelle began an impromptu musical interlude in the lounge, with the rest of the men singing along in impressive harmonies. The day was off to an amazing start.

Toe-tickling the ivories as husband and wife. And so begins a life of beautiful music together!





Despite the ups and downs life may bring, clearly Jess and Brian can keep each other grounded.

Thank you Jess & Brian for letting us share in your special day! We had a wonderful time!

Ashley & Cory 7.18.09

What a fantastic day it was for a wedding! The skies were blue, the weather was in the mid 80s with a nice cool breeze blowing through and two wonderful people pledging their love!

Ashley & Cory are two really fun people. They both are so full of life and happiness that it is infectious. They chose their ceremony site to be down by the river at Allenberry Playhouse in Boiling Springs. The ceremony was one to remember (including a runaway ring, spilling sands, and a collapsing tree.) All in all it was wonderful.


Cory had a sweet surprise for his bride. They went to Hershey for their first date. At that time, the Hershey Kiss stamp was being introduced and Cory got this button on that day. He wanted to wear it as a special reminder of their first date.






Sharing in intimate moment right after the ceremony.




If you check this blog often enough you'll know that we try not to use the same pose more than once in one wedding. Well, we couldn't decide between these next two photos so we thought we'd put both up.










I absolutely LOVED Ashley's bouquet!







Thank you for letting us be a part of your day Cory & Ashley!

Musser 60th Anniversary 7.3.09

Last Friday we had the pleasure of being at the Musser's 60th anniversary party. Titus and Mildred are the grandparents of one of my closest friends, Vicki. She asked us to come photograph their anniversary party and to take some family portraits of everyone as a gift to them. The Mussers live at Garden Spot Village in New Holland. The grounds are incredibly beautiful and made a great backdrop for the portraits.
