Jessica and Tom – Toftrees Wedding Photography

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!

Megan and Jamie’s Wedding at the Pasquerilla Spiritual Center and Days Inn

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!

Becky and Matt’s Wedding at Toftrees Resort

We had a great time at Becky and Matt’s wedding at Toftrees Resort! They were married on the croquet lawn and the reception was held in Le Papillon. After a beautiful late afternoon ceremony, we took a whirlwind tour of the Lion Shrine, Old Main, and Beaver Stadium, before heading back to the reception at Le Papillon. They had a beautiful floral design from Daniel Vaughn Designs and an amazing cake from Delectable Delights by Heather Luse. Nittany Entertainment kept the dance floor full all night and we even had an opportunity to get some beautiful photos by the pond at dusk. A great way to end the day!

Congratulations Becky and Matt – thanks for having us as your photographers!   ~Vicky and Jim

Cristina and Kevin – State College PA Wedding Photography

Our first wedding of the season! Cristina and Kevin were married on April 17th at the Pasquerilla Spiritual Center at Penn State. Cristina’s family is from Ecuador, and her uncle was the officiant.  There was a translator, so the ceremony was in Spanish and English – it was our first dual language ceremony! We had great weather here in State College… up until the wedding day, of course. It was a bit gray and rainy and colder than we would have liked, but everyone was in good spirits – a very happy crowd :-)  Although we prefer sunny and warm weather, overcast days are sooo much better for photos! After our campus tour, it was off to the reception at Toftrees Resort for lots of fun and dancing. We even got a chance to sneak outside for some beautiful shots at dusk. What a great way to start the 2010 wedding season – Thanks, Cristina and Kevin!

State College, PA Wedding Photography – Virginia and Adam

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!

Brooke and Jeff – State College, PA Wedding Photography

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!
