We first met Amanda and Kyle at Amanda’s sister’s wedding in June of 2010. We were very excited when they asked us to be their photographers, too! We enjoy photographing weddings for siblings, especially because we already know many of the family members and guests at the wedding We met Amanda and Kyle at the Nittany Lion Inn for some getting ready photos before the ceremony at the Pasquerilla Spiritual Center on the Penn State campus. After an exit to ringing bells, we were off on a campus tour to the Nittany Lion Shrine, Hintz Alumni Center, and Old Main. Then it was off to the reception at the Nittany Lion Inn, which was beautifully decorated by Woodrings Floral Gardens. It was a great reception, highlighted by a custom made “duck hunter” cake and a very interesting take on the garter removal (you’ll have to check out the video slideshow!).
Jessica and Tom were married at Toftrees Resort on a beautiful (rain-free!) day. Since we were doing formal photos and a quick campus tour before the ceremony, we arranged a “first look” for just the two of them – although they did have some spectators peeking out the windows . After Jessica and Tom spent a few wonderful moments together, we were off to Beaver Stadium for some shots on the field! We finished up at Hintz Alumni Center before heading back to Toftrees for the formals and the ceremony on the croquet lawn. The newlyweds were able to enjoy their cocktail hour and we were able to get photos of Le Papillon before the reception began. It was beautifully decorated by Avant Garden, the delicious (and beautiful!) cake was made by Delectable Delights, and the music was provided by Local Motion Entertainment.
Congratulations Jessica and Tom – we had a great time with you and your family and friends!
We’ve known Danielle and Tim for a little while now – we photographed Tim’s sister’s wedding and he and Danielle were both in the wedding party. It’s always fun to see so many familiar faces at a wedding! After the ceremony at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Bellefonte, we headed to Talleyrand Park for some wedding party and newlywed photos – Danielle chose to go barefoot for a while and it made for some fun shots and video. Then it was off to the reception at Toftrees Resort, which was beautifully decorated by Woodrings Floral Gardens. DJ Eric Stoner of Nittany Entertainment kept Tim and everyone else on the dance floor all night!
Among other things, butterflies symbolize new beginnings – a perfect symbol for a marriage – and there were butterflies everywhere for Deanne and Joel’s wedding at the Arboretum at Penn State. After a beautiful ceremony, the newlyweds and their families and friends released monarch butterflies to celebrate the occasion. A few even landed on the bouquets so we could get a close-up look – they seem to have enjoyed the flowers from Daniel Vaughn Designs as much as we did! Then the couple and their wedding party hopped into a few classic cars and headed off to Hintz Alumni Center for more photos before the reception at the Ramada Conference Center. The room was beautifully decorated by Daniel Vaughn Designs and the cake from Delectable Delights by Heather Luse was amazing (as usual!)… and it had butterflies on it, too!
We had an amazing day with Megan and Jamie! After their ceremony at the Pasquerilla Spiritual Center we set out on a little campus tour. Our first stop was the Nittany Lion Shrine, followed by Old Main. The animated wedding party and the bright colors they chose made for some vibrant photos! We loved Megan’s blue heels and Jamie’s colored vest, and the beautiful flowers from Woodrings Floral Gardens. After a few shots at Beaver Stadium we were off to the reception at the Days Inn, with DJ Eric Stoner from Nittany Entertainment keeping the night running smoothly and the dance floor hopping. Instead of a large wedding cake, the newlyweds cut their own smaller cake topped with miniature Nittany Lion bride and groom and the guest were treated to a variety of tasty cupcakes from ndulge cupcake boutique. The bridal dance ended with everyone surrounding Megan and Jamie working hard to break through to get to her – we’re glad he finally got in there We were fortunate to be able to capture some video of him sweeping her away (by holding the cameras way up over our heads!) and it made for a great end to the slideshow!
Congratulations Megan and Jamie – thanks for having us!
Janet and Adam were married at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church. After a wonderful ceremony officiated by Reverend Eric Shafer, the newlyweds exited to bubbles and a short drive down College Avenue (which made for some great photo ops!). Then we headed on to campus for some shots at the Nittany Lion Shrine and the Hintz Alumni Center. We arrived at the reception at Celebration Hall with time to take a few fun photos outside before the new couple was announced into the reception by DJ Jeff Helffrich. The floral design was by Woodrings Floral Gardens and the cake was from For Heaven Cakes by Tracey Coleman. It was a fun night, with a conga line, limbo, and some great couples dancing down the line!
As a special treat, Janet’s uncle wrote a song for the montage slideshow we put together of favorite wedding day images and video segments. Check it out below!
Congratulations Janet and Adam and thanks for having us as your photographers!
