Last month I had the privilege of photographing my very first wedding at Riverdale Manor in Lancaster, PA. This place was gorgeous. The grounds were perfect for a wedding photographer. There was not really a bad place to take a photo. I can’t wait to go back to this amazing location.

Kristan and Jason had their ceremony and reception at Riverdale and the weather was beautiful.

Here is a slideshow of my favorite moments:

And here are a few of my favorite images from the day:

Photographing this wedding for Jessica and Travis was so much fun. I loved the light for their first dance. It was natural window light only. For one of the photos, I used the window to backlight them and for the other, I simply  put the window at my back and watched the soft light wrap around them. This gorgeous wedding was at Heritage Hills in York, PA.

You can check out my original blog post to see a slideshow and more images from the wedding.

Welcome to Thomas Beaman Photography. I am keeping this blog post at the top of the page because I want new visitors to learn who I am without having to scroll through pages of archives.

While I am experienced with many different styles of photography, I specialize in wedding day storytelling. I love telling the unique story of a wedding using images with emotion and expression.

Couples spend over a year planning their wedding and I make sure to pay attention to every single detail and photograph them in an artistic way.

I love keeping portrait sessions between the bride & groom, bridal party and families very relaxed. I want the true personalities of my clients to show in these photographs. I want you to look back at these images in 20 years and say “that was so us!”

Please view the slideshow above to see a few of my favorite images. I am also going to share a few thoughts from my previous clients.

Photographing Emily & Ben’s wedding at Lauxmont Farms was awesome! This was the first time I had ever been to this wedding venue and I was blown away by the landscape views.

This particular shot of their wedding ceremony was featured in The Knot. Here is the magazine layout.

The photo of the week is one from Mary & Scott’s wedding at the Peter Allen House. It was a rainy day which really brought out the colors in the landscape and the gorgeous bouquets designed by Weddings by JDK.

This is one of my favorite bridal party photos I have ever photographed. Mary and the girl were so fun to work with. Check out the entire wedding and slideshow.

Photographing Jen & Lane’s wedding at Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa in Mexico was an amazing experience. The weather was perfect and you could not ask for a nicer group of people.

This stunning sunset photo is my photo of the week (This entire wedding post was on my old blog and did not get transferred to my new blog. I will be adding it to my new blog later this month. Check back soon to see this amazing Cancun wedding).

This candid wedding photo from Riverview Country Club in Easton, PA is proof that candids make the best images (at least in my opinion).

This is a photo from Amanda & Matt’s wedding. We had just finished taking some of the more formal wedding photos and I knew that getting ahead of the group would make for some great candid moments. I love that the bride and groom walked slower than the bridal party, and that Matt was carrying Amanda’s shoes while she walked across the grass. This photo was not set up and it is as simple as it gets………that is why I think it is perfect.

Head on over to the main blog post if you want to see more of Amanda & Matt’s Riverview Country Wedding.
