Love Conquers All...

There was a time when Jen and Dan did not know if they would ever reach their wedding day. A sever accident left Dan in the hospital and the couple facing the fact that they would have to put their wedding on hold. A year and a half later they overcame all adversity by leaning on each other and focusing on the future that lay ahead.

This December turned July wedding held hints of Christmas in July but only if you knew to look for them. Every detail fell into place beautifully with flowers by Woodrings provided for both the ceremony at Our Lady of Victory and the reception at the Nittany Country Club.

As you can see, Dan and Jen love each other and love to have fun. Dan kept April and I laughing all day long with non stop hilarity, only Jen's enthralling descent down the aisle could awe him to silence.

I wish you a long and smooth road ahead!

Can't Beat the Real Thing

Coke may have said it, but the adage is true - you can't beat the real thing;

Real Love

Real Commitment

Real Family

Real Joy

Amanda and Joey's wedding was simply brimming with real moments. The type of moments that simply make you catch your breath and forget for just a second that the world keeps moving, and time keeps passing, and oh yeah - you have a job to do, so stop standing around all misty eyed!

I knew when I photographed their engagement session last fall on Penn State's campus, that this was a couple whose wedding I would love every second of - and I was not disappointed.

For those not familiar, the Scotch Valley Country Club is well worth the drive for anyone living in the Altoona area. The grounds are gorgeous, the staff is friendly, and I simply love the windows in the ballroom.

Enjoy a small sampling, and may God bless your new life together!

This is Where God Goes on Vacation...

... these were the words spoken to me by a guest last weekend at Talley and Jeff's wedding. Looking out on the 150 acre family farm, I had to admit, they had a good point.

This will rank up there as one of my favorite locations ever shot. The farm, located north of Lockhaven on the Susquehanna River, included the rustic barn backdrop for the ceremony, a one room school house, train tracks, and gorgeous summer fields - and if there were only more hours in the day there was so much more to explore!
Talley and Jeff's laid back attitude made them easy to work with and the whole wedding so relaxed and fun. The details were gorgeous, and the dessert buffet... I would tell you about it, but the drool puddling over the keyboard is making it difficult to type.

Enjoy the teasers!
