I loved the shot of her Grandmother chair dancing and laughing in joy, what a great moment:) Their last page was shot just before we enter the venue, just a nice romantic kiss.

The view from the  top  of the lodge is spectacular and since Michelle was on the ground covering the ceremony, I was able to run( walking is not an option ) up to the top to get the image you will see in this post, then calm my breathing, so I will not have camera shake I am sure I look like a woman  on a mission, or plain crazy, trying get up there and back down, so I miss just a small portion of the ceremony. But the shots are so worth it!!!!!!

The sky was simply unbelievable that day as you will see, so we were able to get some fantastic sunset shots as well as a few unexpected ones, just before we headed into the reception venue. The sky changed from an amazing shade of yellow/orange to intense red all in a matter of minutes. How cool is that

The up lighting  and entertainment  provided by Paris Kiriakis of Good Vibrations.  As always he did a wonderful job and really got the  quests up and on their feet.

Enjoy!

Since Ada and Matt had chosen the mountain for their theme spot, they opted to have their flowers very natural and native to the area. Annie’s Orchids, did a amazing job. Every centerpiece was different and the place cards, were individual vases with flowers that matched each centerpiece. Very creative. Ada’s  bouquet, if you look closely, you will see has an artichoke as the focal point. I know that sounds kind of odd, but it actually looked great.

The bridesmaids all wore different style gowns in  various shades of green. I have put in a few silly poses, just so you know when you see these in my posts, I do not stage them, it is always the couples idea. I just run with it. I say have fun, it’s your wedding day. I’ll make sure to catch it:)

Their program was one of the most unique I have ever seen. It was a timeline of their dating years together, done up with humor. It fit their personalities well, they were just adorable together. As always it was my pleasure to be there and preserve these moments!

Inn at Pocono Manor

Kimberly had an amazing cathedral length veil, I love to play with veils Since they are both attorneys, they of course incorporated that into their program and ceremony. I thought it was adorable. Take time to read it, I have it shown on the blog pics. Kimberly paid tribute to her father in  the program as well,  I am assuming he was a Trekkie, hence the ” live long and prosper” quote, I tied in her something blue with the image!

The reception was a blast, see for yourself!

The first time I sat down with Kerri and Brandon, I knew their wedding would be unique and laid back. Kerri and Brandon are snowboard instructors, so we had a great discussion about  how I had always wanted to try, but everyone said it is too hard and I am too old to learn. Which is a bad thing to tell me : ) They assured me that was false,  Now I have to learn!   The oldest person they taught was 75. Yeah there is hope for all of us!

But enough about that. Since they are  instructors, they met each other on the slopes. Brandon proposed at the very spot they held the wedding, at the top of the black diamond run at Camelback in the Big Pocono State park, using the chair lift as their altar. How romantic is that. The view was stunning and the details were very simple and natural. Kerri looked so sweet  and Brandon is quite a character, but why wouldn’t he be . Such a wonderful group of friends and family. Thank you for allowing me to enjoy your day.

Their tented affair was decorated with hand painted canvas,  nice touch.  The awesome cake and cupcake by Vegan Treats Bakery MMMM  so good!   Special thanks to Maggie  Of  Maggie J Photography for seconding shooting : )

I have watched The Chelsea Sun transform its self the last couple of years from a dairy farm to this stunning vineyard estate.  If you are looking to have a tented event, the location is very peaceful and the Inn is something to be seen.  They are fairly new and working towards a goal, but they have a vision and I love it!

The light in the church Our Lady Of Mt Carmel in Roseto PA is wonderful, have shot there many times,  the groomsmen, all Marines where in their dress blues  and they were doing  a sword arch. Can you say Officer and  a Gentleman : )

Jasmine looked so lovely  and the colors of the bridesmaids  gowns were so vibrant. Jasmine and Steve had a tented reception with the most amazing party tent, very high roof ,adorned with white paper lanterns The cocktails area was very unique , individual ottomans and pub style tables made for a great place to mingle.
Catering was done By J Defranco and Daughters, in Bangor  Pa they have a great reputation and their food is as good as it looks!

Hope you enjoy looking at the wedding as much as I had capturing it!

Carole and Greg , had a small intimate affair at the Skytop Lodge, in Skytop Pa. It is a beautiful 5,000 acre estate at the very top of the mountain. I loved the uniqueness of the table setting, it is something that you cannot see very often, with larger events. Since they chose to see each other before the wedding, it gave us time to stroll the grounds. Wonderful relaxed day.

I love when the couples have chosen their final  images for the album and I get to start the layout, all those wonderful moments come back. Yes for me too! I have shared a very personal day with everyone and it’s hard to not be a part of it. Anyway enough babbling enjoy

The ceremony was moved under a pavilion and all was well. Everyone had been such troopers, considering the situation. I was able to shoot in the bridge for some bridal party shots. I am so very happy when couples, realize that its not about the weather it’s about the love:) I loved the backdrop that they had used for behind the head table, such a cool way to light the scene.

So should it rain on your day, make the most of it and play up on the weather.
