What better way to ring in the New Year than with a new beginning!
Liz and Josh were married on New Year’s Eve at Saint John The Evangelist Catholic Church in Bellefonte. Since sunset is so early this time of year, we set up a “first look” at Talleyrand Park before the evening ceremony. The weather was cooperative (no snow or rain!) and we were able to get some photos of the bride and groom and the wedding party in Talleyrand and in front of the Centre County Courthouse before heading to St. John’s. The church was still beautifully decorated with Poinsettias and lights for the holiday season (a bonus for any holiday wedding), and Woodrings Floral Gardens did an amazing job of adding to the holiday decor! After a beautiful ceremony, Liz and Josh exited the church through a tunnel of sparklers to the waiting limo, and we were off to the reception at the Ramada Conference Center in State College. It was a wonderful night full of family and friends, with the DJ, Justin Hill, keeping the dance floor full, a delicious cake (as usual!) from Delectable Delights by Heather Luse, - and lots of New Year’s Eve party favors They ended the night with a live video feed of the Times Square countdown!
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!
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!
