There is no fear in love, Part II

Man, we had a great time shooting Randi and Chad's wedding! It's always a good time when you really click with the couple, and we've clicked with, and frequently at (See what I did there?) these two since their engagement session.

Despite a cold and rainy week beforehand, we were blessed with warmth and clear skies all day long. Personally, I think it had something to do with Randi's gorgeous smile, which absolutely lights up the room. (Fortunately, it doesn't present any lighting problems for us!)

From Chad's last-minute race to make sure the reception hall was perfect for his bride to a cake-wielding chase across the dance floor, the day was full of love and excitement. We couldn't be happier for these two, and we very sincerely wish them love and happiness in their new life together.

Ready, Set, GO!

A cool fall breeze was in the air, which means it's time to meet with Heidi, Greg and Emma! We've got a long history with them, and we're always incredibly excited to spend some time taking their pictures. They were one of our earliest clients, and as the years have gone by, it's been a joy to see their family and their love grow!

This year, we were joined by Heidi's mother, who works part time as our "stand off-camera and get Emma to smile" person. And obviously, she does great work!

We met them at Talleyrand Park in Bellefonte, which is just a short trip down the road from State College, PA. It's a beautiful little park and train station, and Emma was loving all the ducks! All too soon, our time together was over, but we can't wait until our next opportunity to capture more amazing moments with one of our favorite families!

Love Is In The Air

Everywhere I look around!

All apologies to John Paul Young, but his disco days couldn't hold a candle to Heather and Dan's wedding. It was a beautiful September afternoon, surrounded by friends and family. We met up with the full wedding party at the Ephrata Cloister, where we were treated to some amazing afternoon light and apple trees ready for harvest!

Heather and Dan are so cute to watch together. They just radiate warmth and love for one another, and its hard not to smile when you're with them. They've already got such a good marriage, and we hadn't gotten to the ceremony yet! (For those of you scratching your head, Dan and Heather got married last year before he shipped out for Iraq, with the plan to have a "proper" wedding this fall, after he returned home. Welcome back Dan, and thank you for your service!)

From there, it was off to the ceremony and reception at Stoudt's Brewery, which is a great venue. Cold beer, warm service, and awesome decor–what more can you ask for? (Any place that has Alphonse Mucha prints on the wall is aces in my book.) It was wonderful to be treated to a beautiful ceremony, delicious meal, and dancing, dancing, dancing!
