Josh & Jillian: Wedding

I could write 972498 pages about how amazing Josh and Jillian's wedding was! I was so honored that they asked me to capture their wedding. At first, I was nervous about it. Josh asked Chad to be his best man, so that meant I would be shooting solo. But, thanks to some awesome friends, there ended up being 3 other photographers! Thank you very much to Jamie Jansen, Scott Watt, and Hollie Stefaniak!! Also, thanks to Josh and Jillian for being smoking hott! You all made my life easier that day :D On to the photos:

I met the girls at Headliners Salon & Day Spa, where they had their hair and makeup done:







Everyone looking gorgeous and ready to head to The Oaks!


I love this shot of Mr. Amann checking the bouquets.


Here are the guys! I really really love this one :)




Don't you love Jillian's shoes??


Josh and Jillian decided to see each other before the ceremony (Which I highly recommend!) The next few moments that followed were so beautiful and emotional. Here's the moment right before Josh saw his beautiful bride-to-be.


Such a beautiful embrace :)


We were able to do all of the family portraits, bridal party shots, and some fun portraits of just the two of them before the ceremony.


You cannot take a bad photograph of these two!




One of my very favorites- they're such a gorgeous couple! Can you imagine how ridiculously good looking their children will be??


A few more shots of the guys, in the last moments before the ceremony.


I love Josh's expression in this one. You can tell he has a million things going through his mind.


The ceremony!!






Morgan did SO well! She wins "flower girl of the year" in my book- she went the whole day with a walking cast on one leg... that she just had put on the week of the wedding!


I love this moment:




I'm getting teary-eyed going through these!










Married!


Mr. & Mrs. Joshua Pancher!!!!!


Their first dance was beautiful- heck, everything they did was beautiful!


So sweet :)


Mr. Amann looks so proud in this photo:


:D


Everyone had a great time on the dance floor!






We went back out to the ceremony site at the end of the night for a couple more shots of just the two of them.



Thank you again, Josh and Jillian. We love you so much and we're so happy for you!!!

Tina & Mark: Wedding

I feel like I've blogged more today than I have this whole month!

Chad and I have been so blessed by our clients! We've been welcomed in like family and treated like the best of friends. That is reason enough for us to love what we do! On top of that, we get to document people and families on one of the most important days of their lives. AND we get to create fun art. We're so blessed!
Tina and Mark were married at the BEAUTIFUL Oak Lodge in Stahlstown, PA. Everywhere you turned was another picturesque location. And hello: Tina is so incredibly gorgeous!!! Mark is such a great guy, and he gave a really sweet toast at the reception which had the whole room choked up! The whole day was wonderful :)
Thanks again, Mark and Tina!!!

Love this!


I love how brutally honest children are, even without words! :)


Chad captured this adorable moment right before Tina walked down the aisle.




The chapel was awesome!


A few portraits after the ceremony...








All of the kids at the wedding received different animal masks, instead of those boring-old grown up wedding favors :)

Ari: Senior Session

!!!!! <-- That is how I feel about these photos. I love them! This shoot was so unique and so much for me. Ari is such a cool girl (and a future rockstar photographer!). In the conversations I had with her mother prior to the session, I knew Ari was going to be a lot of fun to photograph. She had great outfits picked out and was open to all of the ideas I had swirling around in my head! Thanks so much, Ari and Kris, for trusting my vision :)
Enough words- onto what you're here for:



With many thanks to Kris, we had a completely unique experience and location to go with Ari's great "Marilyn" dress!


I have a lot of favorites from this session, and this is one of them!


Love those colors!


Whenever I return to a location, I try to capture everything in a new way.. I'd like to think I accomplished that with this one:

Ann & Michael: Wedding

Day 2 of our Glenmoor weekend! The whole weekend carried a theme of laid-back brides and beautiful details. I'm so glad we were there to document Ann and Michael's wedding day. Ann has a timeless beauty to her, and her dress complimented that perfectly... almost as much as she and Michael complimented each other!

Hair and make up at the spa




Gorgeous!






Isn't Glenmoor beautiful?




We couldn't head outside on account of the weather.. but I'm glad! I wouldn't have been looking for spots like this if we were able to be outside.


Ann and Michael's first dance was so elegant!






Michael and his mother's dance was very touching.


Ha! I love this one-- check out Ann's dad in the background :)

Jamie & David: Wedding

It just so happened that the only 2 Glenmoor weddings we had this year were happening back to back. Jamie and David's wedding was on a Friday (followed by Ann and Michael's on Saturday). Jamie and David had a gorgeous day for their wedding! And shooting at Glenmoor is always a nice treat for us :) Enjoy the preview!




Heading up to see the progress of the chapel


I love this shot of David waiting anxiously with his best man and the pastor.






The newly married couple enjoying a few moments alone :)


While we were out with David and Jamie, the guests were enjoying a Vegas themed cocktail hour:




First dance!


Jamie and her father sharing their special dance


:)

Maxx & Vycki: Wedding

Maxx and Vycki's wedding day was incredible! This was a non-stop event and we had so much being a part of it!

The day started off with a traditional Vietnamese ceremony. It was a very beautiful and emotional ceremony.







After the first ceremony (and some good food!) it was off to St. Michael's here in Canton for the Catholic ceremony. This church was wonderful to shoot in- it's so bright and white and pretty!







How adorable is this??




It's always the guys who have the trouble with their rings :)


I love this shot!


The reception was held at the Mckinley Grand Hotel in downtown.





I love when couples are completely drawn in by one another, and it seems like the whole rest of the world has faded away.

Best Day EVER!!!

I only have time for a super super short preview- it's bedtime! We've got another [super fantastic] wedding tomorrow.

Josh and Jillians wedding day was AMAZING!

Holy smokes.

[The answer is no. Because I know you just asked yourself, "Have I ever seen a more gorgeous bride and groom?"]



And because I cannot resist:

...This one is titled, "Reel 'em In"

At the end of a Wedding Day

Chad and I love what we do. I've said it a million times- and I still mean it!
BUT, there's no doubt that after shooting for 12+ hours we get a little tired, and look forward to a good nights sleep.

This was at the end of Maxx & Vycki's (post coming soon!) AWESOME wedding day. This photo makes me laugh because he looks like he's about to pass out! Aw, poor guy :)

Karen & Ian: Wedding

Chad and I had such a wonderful time at Ian and Karen's wedding! The day started off with big gray clouds that didn't look too promising. But, thanks to much prayer, the day turned out perfect! The ceremony was so touching and emotional. The day ended at the beautiful Salem Golf Club. It was our first time shooting there and we really enjoyed it.

I'm still undecided as to whether to post slideshows or individual photos.. but today I feel like letting you in on the stories behind each photo!


A few of the guys getting ready...




Chad had a great time with all of the bold colors in Ian and Karen's new home:



On to the church.
Karen finalizing some details at the alter with Ian's parents.




Love those eyes!


This is one of my many favorites from the day! I love how Karen's mom and Ian's mom are looking at Karen in awe.


"Do you need lipgloss? We have lipgloss!"


A+ to Chad for capturing this beautiful moment of anticipation!


:)


The brother's gazing proudly at their siblings during the vows.


My new favorite vow photograph- there's so much joy in Karen's face! I love it!


I couldn't tell you what kind of car it was, but it was gorgeous!


The girls!


What a stud:


I usually go straight for the crazy-out-of-box-different images for the blog posts, but I thought I'd share a nice simple portrait.


Their cake was beautiful!


Another favorite of mine.. Doesn't this make you feel peaceful?


Last but not least; the newly weds surrounded by all of their family and friends :)

Tori: Senior Session

If I was asked to describe Tori in one word, I wouldn't be able to do it! This girl does it all! She's incredibly sweet, but there's no doubt she's tough and can handle her horses (and steer!). We had beautiful locations to use as our backdrops, and it was a gorgeous day out. We even had a small audience :) Enjoy the preview!


What better way to start a photoshoot, than with your best friend?


I love everything about this image, definitely a favorite of mine.




I loved Tori's idea of heading out to a tall grass field in her cute white dress.
