We were very excited when Shelby’s mom called to set up her Senior session – she’s a senior at Penns Valley High School (that’s our school district!). We’ve known Shelby for a few years now – she’s a dancer at Kennedy Dance Centre, and we’ve photographed her many times before. Shelby is also a PV cheerleader, and we figured she would be totally at ease in front of the camera – we weren’t disappointed! We even had the opportunity to get some artistic dance photos in the studio before we headed out to the Military Museum for a few outdoor shots. The November weather even cooperated with us to give us an all around great day. Thanks Shelby!
We photograph quite a few weddings in Eisenhower Chapel on the campus of Penn State University – lots of alumni come back to Penn State to get married. The weather wasn’t supposed to be very nice for Kim and Joe’s wedding there on October 24th, but it turned into a beautiful fall day by the time the ceremony began. Usually the chapel is a difficult place to photograph because it is a bit dark, but the sunlight streaming in the windows made us very happy 
After the formals, we headed to the Lion Shrine for a few photos atop the Lion, and then to Old Main. The fall colors on campus were spectacular, the mix of sun and clouds made for perfect photo conditions, and the wedding party was easygoing and fun to photograph!
Our final stop before the reception was Fenske Lab, where Kim and Joe spent way too much time – they are both chemical engineering grads. That’s not our usual type of background for wedding photos, but we’re always up for anything! We even learned what a condensation tube was (okay, we still don’t know what it does or if we even got the name right!!)
The reception was held at Celebration Hall in State College. In anticipation of Kim and Joe’s entrance, the guests were lifted from their seats and encouraged to do the “wave” by the Nittany Lion Mascot (ok, not the real Lion, just a guest dressed in a Lion mascot suit!). The remainder of the evening was just as much fun – lots of eating, drinking, dancing, and celebration. Congrats, Kim and Joe – thanks for choosing us!
Jen and Tom were married on a spectacular fall day in historic Foxburg, Pennsylvania. When we first met Jen and Tom last fall, we knew we would enjoy getting to know them – they are a great couple! We were happy to travel out of town for their wedding – new surroundings keep us on our toes! The ceremony was held at the Episcopal Church of our Father, built in 1881 – one of the more unique places we’ve had the good fortune to visit. After the ceremony, we stopped in downtown Foxburg for a few photos along the Allegheny River. The reception was held at Riverstone Farm, where a wine-themed reception awaited the guests. We can sum up our day in a few short words: a wonderful couple and a wonderful day! Thanks, Jen and Tom for finding us last fall!
Jenny and Jeremy were married October 3rd in Julian, Pennsylvania. We met them for the first time at Jeremy’s sister Rachael’s wedding in 2007. They were a couple back then, and we were very excited when Jenny contacted us to ask us if we would photograph their wedding. After a wonderful ceremony, we headed to the Arboretum at Penn State for a few pictures (Jenny and Jeremy got to ride in a sweet 1966 Mustang!). The reception was held at the Ramada Inn, and it was nice to see so many familiar faces – one of the best parts of this job is getting to know the families and friends of our clients. Thanks, Jenny and Jeremy, for letting us share in your wedding day – we had a blast!
