We were very happy when Erin and Jeremy asked us to photograph their wedding! We photographed Erin’s sister’s wedding in 2008, so it was nice to see so many familiar faces. They were married at Toftrees Resort on the croquet lawn and their reception was held in Le Papillon. It was a bit chilly that day, but the weather held and they were able to have the ceremony outside like they had been hoping (they actually live in Minnesota, so a little chill in the air is nothing to them!). After dinner, we were able to snag the newlyweds for a few photos of just the two of them before they headed back into the reception for an evening of fun and laughter with good friends and family. We’re glad we could be a part of it!
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!
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
Brenda and Chris were married at Toftrees Resort, a wonderful location for an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception. We met them a few hours early so we could photograph the families and wedding party before the ceremony. After they were married, Brenda and Chris changed into traditional Indian clothing. It was a gorgeous day (especially for the middle of November) and we were able to get a few shots in on the golf course before the sun went down. Then it was off to the reception with music by Nittany Entertainment, beautiful decor by Avant Garden, and as always, a delicious and beautiful cake from Delectable Delights by Heather Luse. The party was filled with dancing, and there were even a few tributes to the bride and groom by some younger guests!
Lauren and John were married at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church in downtown State College, with Reverend Eric Shafer officiating the ceremony. St. Paul’s is a beautiful church in which to photograph a wedding – natural light, stained glass windows and a wonderful view from the balcony! After the ceremony we headed to the Nittany Lion Shrine and Hintz Alumni Center for some fun shots of the newlyweds and their wedding party. Check out the “peeking” pix below ! Then is was off to the reception at Toftrees Resort, with Toftrees wedding coordinator, Christine Olbrich making sure eveything ran smoothly. There was great entertainment from DJ Jeff Helffrich, a beautiful (and delicious!) cake from Delectable Delights by Heather Luse and Woodrings Floral Gardens did an amazing job with the floral design from ceremony to reception! Thanks for having us as your photographers - Congratulations, Lauren and John!
We met Sarah and Mike at Toftrees Resort for “getting ready” coverage, one of our favorite parts of the wedding day. Since there are two of us, we go in two separate directions – Vicky with the girls and Jim with the guys – to capture some wonderful moments before the ceremony. Sarah and Mike were married at the Pasquerilla Spiritual Center on the campus of Penn State University. After an exit to bubbles, we headed over to The Nittany Lion Shrine, Hintz Alumni Center and Old Main for a few romantic photos of the newlyweds and some fun shots with the wedding party – check out the favorites below! Then it was off to Toftrees Resort for the reception, with Nittany Entertainment providing great music, amazing floral design by Avant Gardens, and yellow and blue table decor – so colorful and beautiful! In addition to the wedding cake, Delectable Delights by Heather Luse created individual cakes in a variety of flavors and design as centerpieces for each table. Guests had a great time sampling cakes from other tables and searching for the chocolate cake, which of course, was gone quickly!
What a great way to end a wonderful day – congratulations Sarah and Mike!
What a great time we had at Christen and Jeremy’s wedding! The ceremony was held at Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church in State College, with the always entertaining and thoughtful Father Charles officiating. Our first stop on campus was the Nittany Lion Shrine. You should have seen Christen climbing up on the Lion – classic!! – check out the slideshow for a hilarious shot . Then it was off to Old Main for some romantic photos of the newlyweds and finally a stop at the JoePa statue for the guys (with a very funny moment from Jeremy!). The reception at Toftrees was accented by beautiful flowers from Woodrings Floral Gardens and an amazing cake from Delectable Delights, with Eric Stoner from Nittany Entertainment keeping the party rolling . We ended the night with a sunset walk on the golf course… and a surprise gift from the groom to his new bride – perfect!
