My first wedding of 2013 could not have been more perfect. The wedding was at Riverdale Manor in Lancaster, PA.

Ashley and Travis were so fun to work with. The weather was not fully cooperating on their wedding day but that did not stop Ashley. She was doing photos outside no matter what, and I loved it.

The mist made the nighttime shots so beautiful. I love that you can see the mist in those 2 photos.

Riverdale Manor is one of the nicest wedding venues I have seen in Central PA. I can’t wait to photograph another wedding at this amazing location.

Here is a wedding day slideshow from Ashley and Travis’ amazing day.

Here are a few of my favorite wedding photos from the big day:

Ashley and Travis decided on a first look, which let them enjoy their entire cocktail hour with friends and family:

Capturing moments like this, when Ashley’s dad saw his daughter as a bride for the first time, is the #1 reason that I love photographing weddings…

I loved the detail in Ashley’s wedding dress…

The mist really added to the look and feel of these wedding photos…

Riverdale Manor is Lancaster, PA is an amazing place for a wedding…….I love all of the details…

And one last image in the mist…

I recently had a request from a bride. She wanted to see some of the photos I had taken at weddings from The West Shore Country Club in Camp Hill. I figured I would do a blog post on it to share with everyone.

Weddings at The West Shore Country Club are always amazing. The grounds are spectacular, the ballroom is beautiful and makes the perfect location for a wedding reception, and the staff goes above and beyond to make sure that everyone is happy. It is one of my favorite places to photograph in all of Central PA.

Here are some of my favorite wedding photos from The West Shore Country Club:

My absolute favorite series of photos were taken in about 5 minutes near this amazing willow tree. As soon as I saw that tree, I knew that these photos were going to be something special. Jen and Jason made them even more amazing by being who they are. There was no posing……..they were simply just enjoying their day. I love these images…

Heading into the ballroom, The West Shore Country Club is an amazing place for a wedding reception.

Here are a couple of my favorite first dances from WSCC…

A beautiful room design by Weddings by JDK…

Another gorgeous room design by Blooms by Vickrey and an awesome cake by The Couture Cakery…

The West Shore Country Club is a perfect location to capture those candid moments during the toasts and dancing…

Here are a few more wedding photos from The West Shore Country Club……..and of course some more willow trees

Photographing a wedding at Heritage Hills Golf Resort in York is always an awesome experience.  The grounds are beautiful and they are a real treat for any wedding photographer.

Wedding ceremonies at Heritage Hills are picture perfect. You are right there, overlooking the beautiful golf course and trees. Then for the wedding reception, you move into this round room with huge windows. If you are lucky enough to be in there before the sun goes down, the natural light that fills this room is simply stunning. As a wedding photographer, I get excited every singe time that I get to produce wedding photos from this awesome location.

Here are a few of my favorite wedding photos from Heritage Hills, that I have photographed over the past couple of years:

The wedding ceremony site at Heritage Hills is picture perfect…

Heritage Hills is one of my favorite places to take portraits of the bride and groom…

And of course the bridal party…

Wedding receptions at Heritage Hills are always magical……the light that comes through those windows is perfect!

The outside of a Heritage Hills wedding at night is just as beautiful as it is during the day…

The natural light also makes it a great place to photograph wedding details…

If you are thinking about having your wedding at Heritage Hills in York, PA, please send me a quick message to see if I am available on your date. I would love to photograph another wedding there.

Photographing a wedding at The Peter Allen House in Central PA is one of my absolute favorite things I get to do as a wedding photographer. The Peter Allen House is located in Dauphin, PA. Wedding photos from this gorgeous venue are always picture perfect.

One of the things that makes the Peter Allen House so amazing as a wedding venue (for me), is it’s beautiful landscape. A lot of people do not know this about me, but I started my photography career as a landscape/nature photographer in CA. When I first stepped onto the property of The Peter Allen House, I was blown away by how beautiful the grounds were. Add in an amazing historic house, and two of the nicest owners you will ever meet (Frank and Barbara), and there you have yourself the perfect wedding venue. Here are some of my favorite wedding photos from The Peter Allen House:

I love taking the getting ready photos in the Peter Allen House……..the rooms are absolutely stunning.

The beautiful grounds and landscape of The Peter Allen House make for amazing portrait and picture perfect wedding ceremonies…

The Peter Allen House can take on so many looks depending on the colors and style of wedding decor you choose…

And what better way to end a wedding at The Peter Allen House than with an amazing party. This is one of my favorite wedding images.

This was my first of 3 blog posts featuring The Peter Allen House. There were simply too many wedding images to put in one blog. check back in about a month to see part 2. In the meantime, enjoy looking through my other blog posts.

Weddings at The Hotel Hershey are always beautiful. It is my favorite place to photograph a wedding in all of Central PA. The hotel itself is amazing and the grounds are always beautiful. It must be something that they put in the chocolate.

Photographing Bryce and Kyle’s wedding was simply amazing. From our very first meeting, I knew that I was going to love working with them. Kyle and I talked more about music than we did the wedding.

Between Bryce and Kyle and their amazing families, I was treated like a guest and friend the entire time. It is groups like this that make my job so fun.

Kyle is seriously one of the funniest people I have ever met. He knows how to do just about everything. And then there is Bryce…….what an amazing young woman. She has a smile that will light up any room and is one of the nicest most sincere people you will ever meet.

It was a true pleasure photographing their wedding.
