Jackie and Dan were married November 14th at the Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, PA. Since the ceremony was held after sundown, we did most of the formal photos beforehand. It’s always fun to arrange a “first look” moment between a bride and groom – in this case, Jackie came down a wide staircase to find Dan waiting at the bottom (and us as well, shooting photos and video!). We had just enough light to do the formals outside, and still have some time with Jackie and Dan alone as the light faded into the warm glow of the country club.
After the signing of the ketubah and a beautiful candlelit ceremony under the chupah (yes, Dan broke the glass on the first try!), the cocktail hour and reception began. After some hilarious toasts by the best man and maid of honor (primarily revolving around college stories that couldn’t be shared in public!), the celebration began in earnest.
Dan is the third member of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity we’ve had the pleasure to work with – we photographed Leah and Mark’s wedding on May 9, Virginia and Adam’s wedding on August 29th, and now Jackie and Dan. It was especially nice to see so many of the same gang at each wedding, and this is the third time we’ve seen the magic carpet ride dance!
Jackie and Dan, thanks for choosing us as your photographers – the two of you, your families, and your many friends were a pleasure to work with!
p.s. any more Lamda Chi Alpha brothers tying the knot soon? Give us a call – we’re becoming experts!

After an amazing engagement session in September, we were really excited for Tracy and Nate’s wedding – they are just wonderful together! They were fun, spontaneous and VERY romantic for the engagement session, and even more so for the wedding! Their ceremony was held at Grace Lutheran Church in State College, PA. We knew it would be a great wedding the moment we saw Nate’s face as Tracy’s father walked her down the aisle – it was pure joy as she reached him at the altar. (Check out the photo below!) The reception at Toftrees Resort was full of fun, laughter and lots of dancing – and an especially “fun” beginning for Nate’s dance with his mom! (Be sure to check out the video slide show below!)

A wonderful couple and a wonderful wedding – congratulations Tracy and Nate!!
