Cork Factory Hotel Wedding – Kristi & Mike

Bysmjphotography

Kristi and Mike are such a fun loving couple and I had an absolute blast with them during their engagement session in Central Park just shortly before their wedding day. I knew their day would be full of fun and laughter and it certainly didn’t disappoint. The Cork Factory Hotel was absolutely stunning and the perfect backdrop for Kristi and Mike’s wedding day. Kristi and Mike left me plenty of time for those more creative shots and we captured some of my favorite images of the year so far. I can’t thank them enough for allowing me to be there to capture their special day and wish them a lifetime of happiness! Congrats Kristi and Mike!

Carolyn & Jon – Prospect Valley Farm Wedding

The weather theme of this summer seems to be insanely hot with totally random but intense thunderstorms. Carolyn and Jon’s wedding day weather was exactly that but it didn’t put a damper on anything as everyone was in such good spirits. We were able to do the first look, Carolyn and Jon’s pictures, the wedding party pictures, ceremony, and family pictures before the skies let loose and confined everyone inside the barn for a bit. We all got totally soaked but no one was complaining and the rest of the evening turned out perfectly. The weather cleared up towards the end of the night and Carolyn and Jon had their glow stick exit. This was my first glow stick exit and I have to say that I really enjoy them. The colors just pop! Congrats Carolyn and Jon!

I was looking forward to this day since I first met with Addy and Nathan. They are two of the nicest people ever and I loved how much Addy was into pictures. Nathan – well not quite so much! The wedding day was hot but beautiful and it all went down flawlessly at the incredible Historic Shady Lane. My favorite moment of the day by far was the first look that Addy did with her father. She’s actually the first bride of mine to do it and I certainly hope not the last. Congrats Addy and Nathan!

They say that it’s lucky if it rains on your wedding day and that couldn’t have been truer for Nastassia and Henry’s wedding at Historic Shady Lane. While the weather decided to be a bit bipolar throughout the day, it thankfully let up for a little bit at points and we were able to use the beautiful grounds at Historic Shady Lane. Every wedding is different but has an overall main theme and that was definitely friends and family for this wedding. I always love seeing how families  and friends intertwine as two different groups of people become one to support the couple. Congrats Nastassia and Henry!

I don’t even know how to write about this day because it was just that emotional and incredible. Heather and Andrew are two of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet and their friends and family were no different. Heather and Andrew both looked stunning and Historic Shady Lane provided the perfect backdrop for an amazing day. They left plenty of time in their day for getting ready, first look, wedding party, and portrait pictures which always makes me happy and ensures that I can deliver the best photography possible throughout the day. I can’t thank Heather and Andrew for enough for allowing me to capture their special day and wish them nothing but the best in the future!

I had such a great time during Sam and Josh’s engagement session last summer that I knew their wedding day would be special and it didn’t disappoint. There’s usually one point in the wedding day where something doesn’t go as planned and everyone has to help out to get things back in track. In the case of Sam and Josh’s wedding, their weddings rings were left back at their house! The wedding party flew back to their house to get the rings so that the day could resume its schedule. With the help and cooperation of everyone, we were able to get the timeline back on track. We enjoyed a wonderful evening at The Susquehanna Club in Harrisburg and captured some great moments from a really fun crew!

Kate and Chad were a ton of fun during their engagement session so I was really looking forward to their wedding at Beech Springs Farm. This was my first time shooting there and I certainly hope it’s not my last as the property is just gorgeous and everyone who works there is so nice! The weather couldn’t have been any better for Kate and Chad’s wedding and the timeline for the day was absolutely flawless with no stress or issues. Congrats Kate and Chad!

Emily & Brian – Liberty Mountain Resort Wedding

Emily and Brian’s wedding story was a complicated one that had a lot of bumps along the way but ended just perfectly. For starters, Emily and Brian found out that their reception venue (Liberty Mountain Resort) wouldn’t be ready in time for their wedding (as it was undergoing reconstruction) so they would be in a tent outside instead. They handled it really well and LMR really stepped it up with a massive, beautiful tent. When I met with Emily to discuss her wedding day, we joked how the only thing that would really throw a wrench into things would be if we had a torrential downpour of rain and strong winds (because of the tent). Apparently the joke was on us because Hurricane Joaquin decided to show up and really make the day difficult. However, it all worked out in the end and we were able to get a really incredible shot with the rain!

Cindy & Terry – Glen Rock Wedding

My photography friend Artemas reached out to me and asked if I was available to shoot a small backyard wedding in Glen Rock for the owners of the Glen Rock Mill Inn. I was thrilled for the opportunity and reached out to Cindy and Terry to arrange the details for the day. The wedding was quite the change of pace (in a good way) from traditional weddings and it reminded me that all you really need is the person you love and your loved ones to celebrate your new life together. It was a beautifully intimate and heart warming wedding and I can’t thank Cindy and Terry enough for allowing me to be a part of their special day!
