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!).
Kristen and Jason were married at the Pasquerilla Spiritual Center on the Penn State campus with the reception held at the Nittany Lion Inn. We went our separate ways to start the day – Vicky with Kristen and the girls and Jim with Jason and the guys. We met up at the Hintz Alumni Center for a “first look” and some pre-wedding photos of the bride and groom and the wedding party (of course, we also headed over to the Nittany Lion Shrine!). Then it was off to the ceremony at Pasquerilla Spiritual Center, officiated by Jeremiah Kingshipp. The reception at the Nittany Lion Inn was exquisitely decorated by Daniel Vaughn Designs, both inside and outside the ballroom, and The Impact Band kept the dance floor jumping well into the night!
We met Aimee and Pat at the Nittany Lion Inn for getting ready photos and formals before their wedding. We were even able to get a few photos outside – we were lucky it wasn’t as cold as it could have been! The ceremony in the Alumni Lounge was mostly lit by candlelight – thankfully our cameras can practically see in the dark and we ended up with some very romantic photos and video. The decor for the reception in the Ballroom was beautifully designed by Daniel Vaughn Designs, and one of our favorite DJs, Jeff Helffrich, kept the night running smoothly, as usual Have you ever seen a garter toss where absolutely no one tries to catch it? If not, check out the video clip in the slideshow below – it’s great!
Congratulations Aimee and Pat – thanks for having us!
We had a wonderful time at Gwen and Eric’s wedding! We met them both as they were getting ready at the Nittany Lion Inn (I went with the girls, Jim with the guys). The Molly Trolley provided transportation to the ceremony for Eric and his groomsmen before returning to the Inn for Gwen and her bridesmaids. Then it was off to the Pasquerilla Spiritual Center, where Judge David Grine, a close family friend, officiated the ceremony. We took a campus tour to Old Main, Hintz Alumni Center and, of course, the Nittany Lion Shrine before heading back to the Nittany Lion Inn for the reception. The entire wedding from ceremony to reception was beautifully decorated by Avant Garden, providing a romantic atmosphere for the evening. The always entertaining DJ Jeff Helffrich played great music and kept the night running smoothly, as he always does! It was especially fun to see the bride and groom tossed in the air toward the end of the night – check out the photos and slideshow below – they were totally airborne!
Thanks, Gwen and Eric, for letting us be a part of such a great day! Congratulations!!
Vicky and Jim
Becky and Auggie were married at the Pasquerilla Spiritual Center on the Penn State University campus. Both the bride and the groom started out the day at The Nittany Lion Inn, a great location for getting ready photos – accented with beautiful flowers by Narber’s Floral Company. Then it was off to the ceremony and a short campus tour (it was a HOT day!) before heading back to the Inn for the reception. Lively music by the DJ, Mark Giordano, a friend of Becky and Auggie, had the dance floor filled for the rest of the night!
Jessica and Jon had the distinction of being first wedding ever held at the Arboretum at Penn State University. We started the day at the Nittany Lion Inn, then took the Molly Trolley to the Arboretum for a late afternoon ceremony. It was a bit cold and windy , so we headed straight for the warmth of the Nittany Lion Inn after the ceremony. They had an amazing band and the party lasted well into the night! Congratulations Jessica and Jon!
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!
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!
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!
