Kate and Dan were married on December 29th at the Nittany Lion Inn on the Penn State Campus. It was a cold, clear evening (one of the coldest in December!), but it was warm and cozy inside, with a candlelight ceremony to set the mood. We took a very quick trip to the Lion Shrine for a few photos after the ceremony and discovered we couldn’t really work our cameras while wearing gloves, so the gloves came off (it’s still hard to work the camera with numb fingers!). The girls even sat on the Lion in their dresses (with no wraps or sweaters), which must have been cold! We took just a few more shots under the soft glow of the streetlamps before returning to the warmth of the Inn. Then it was off to the reception full of fun and dancing, with DJ Jeff Helffrich keeping the party hopping. What a way to end 2009!
Kate and Dan, we had a great time with you, your wedding party, families and friends – thanks for having us!
Virginia and Adam’s wedding on August 29th was a blast! After the ceremony at Our Lady of Victory, we found out at the last minute that “someone” got us access into Beaver Stadium. So we headed over for some great shots inside the stadium (and outside, too!). The reception was at Marrara’s Mountain Lodge about 20 minutes out of town. Little did we know, the drive over was to be the last quiet moment of the evening… what a party they had! The reception was spread across an outdoor tent, inside the lodge, the back deck and the gazebo down below, each section with it’s own unique decor, atmosphere and guests happily eating and drinking. We knew Virginia’s family is from Poland, but we were completely unprepared for the magnitude of “partying” at a Polish wedding! Thanks, Virginia and Adam, for sharing your amazing wedding with us!
We’ve been to most of the reception venues in the area, but this was our first time at the Days Inn Penn State. Jess and Andy were married there on August 8th – they had the ceremony inside the lobby of the Hotel. There is a huge atrium, complete with a water wall and gazebo, and the interior walls are decorated to look like storefronts in a little town. It made for a beautiful and unique setting for their wedding day. We spent a few minutes at the Hintz Alumni Center on the Penn State Campus (mostly dodging the rain!), and then returned to the Days Inn for the reception in the Ballroom. Jess’s side of the family have a “dance” that they do at all family gatherings (you have to see it to believe it!) – watch the video at the end of this post to see what we’re talking about!
Thanks, Jess and Andy for sharing your day with us!
The last two weeks have been incredibly busy, but we’ve finally managed to get some photos up from Erica and Kelly’s wedding. They were married August 1st at the Pasquerilla Spiritual Center on the Penn State Campus. Since it was an evening ceremony, we only had time for a brief photo stop at the Hintz Alumni Center, before heading to the reception at the Penn Stater Conference Center and Hotel. It was a crazy and fun-filled night of celebration, and we were pretty exhausted by midnight, when the “official” party ended! Anyway, here’s some favorites, along with a photo slideshow – Enjoy!

Here’s a few images from Bobby’s senior session around the Penn State Campus – we had to cut the first session short due to rain, but the weather cooperated beautifully for our second meeting. Our thanks to Bobby for being totally happy, relaxed, and into the shoot!
What a great day we had with Alissa and Jim! They were married July 18, at Eisenhower Chapel at Penn State. The girls and the guys walked to the ceremony from the Nittany Lion Inn, giving us some great photo opportunities. After the ceremony, we took a slow walk through campus, stopping along the way at a few favorite spots. We rejoined the wedding party at the Lion for few pics, then off to the reception at the Inn. Congratulations!
Here’s a few favorites from Brooke and Jeff’s wedding! The ceremony was held at Eisenhower Chapel on the Penn State Campus, followed by a reception in Beaver Stadium. The weather cooperated beautifully – a bit of rain before the wedding, then not a drop until we all were safely inside the Presidents Suite atop the stadium. The skies cleared enough for some beautiful sunset shots – all in all, a fantastic day!

What a blast we had at Erika and Brendan’s wedding! The ceremony at St. Paul’s was followed by the reception at the Mount Nittany Club in Beaver Stadium. Here’s a photo montage and some favorites from the day. Enjoy!
Having fun on the Lion – a group like this makes our jobs easy!
