On July 7th, 2012, I headed up to Spring Mount Farms in Warriors Mark, Pa for David and Leila’s wedding.

It was a very hot day but that did not stop anyone from having a great time. This wedding was all about family and friends getting together to throw the party of the year. It was the perfect wedding to be a photographer.

Here are a few of the people who made David and Leila’s wedding look so beautiful:

Wedding ceremony and reception: Spring Mount Farms

Flowers: Deb Fisher

Dessert Table: The amazing dessert table was put together by family members of the bride and groom. Cupcakes by Kate Fox, Cake and Dessert Pops by Rebecca Derstine, Cookies by Daad Rizk, Judy Derstine, and Melissa Longenberger.

Piano and Accordion for wedding ceremony and reception: Michael Tobar (David’s uncle)

Catering: Tiny’s BBQ

Photographer: Thomas Beaman Photography

Check out Davis and Leila’s wedding story slideshow (over 100 images):

Here are a few of my favorite images:

Leila’s Dress and Emily, the adorable flower girl…

David and his brother Michael (also the best man), knew that having candy at the end of the aisle was a sure way to get all of the kids to walk (I mean run) without throwing a fuss…

David’s Uncle Michael played the accordian for the ceremony music……….he is awesome!

Here comes the bride…

Spring Mount Farms near State College is an amazing place to have an outside wedding…

A couple of weeks ago I headed over to Boiling Springs, PA for Katie’s mini senior photography session. She was so great to work with and was a real natural in front of the camera.

I hope Katie has an amazing senior year (class of 2013).

I always get excited seeing my work published in a magazine. This time it is in The Knot. The photo editor of The Knot contacted me a few months ago and asked if they could use this ceremony photo from The Shawnee Inn & Golf Resort.

Here are a few of my favorite images from the day:

While Marcie was getting her hair done, one of her bridesmaids (who was also getting her hair done) kept asking to see Marcie’s hair. It was driving her crazy that she could not see the bride. Finally Marcie got up and walked in front of her friend. I thought this expression was priceless…

Marcie’s dress was so beautiful. I loved the texture…

Marcie was one of the most stunning brides I have ever seen…

I love the grounds of Bear Creek Mountain Resort. It is an amazing place to have a wedding…

A beautiful first dance between Ross and Marcie…

I love capturing all of the fun expressions on the dance floor…………This dance floor was packed all night!

Last week I headed back up to Hershey for Kori and David’s engagement session. Kori and David were engaged at Chocolate World and spend a lot of time at Hersheypark……..Obviousley it made the most sense to start the session at Hersheypark

After spending a few hours in the park, we headed over to The Hotel Hershey and captured the perfect late afternoon light.

I can’t wait to photograph their wedding this September.

Here are a few of my favorites…

We started out at Hersheypark……………watching them race down the slides was hilarious!

A little game of Whack-a-Mole. Kori is the winner!!!

Off to The Hotel Hershey for more photos……………we were so lucky to have this amazing light…

And what better way to end an engagement session than with a good ole’ game of tackle football?
