Delicious Happiness

Hours spent wrapped in golden sunshine…
the beach with the waves crashing in the background…
a glowing, relaxed couple…
lots of love and fun in the air! 
I think I’ll be making a beach setting mandatory for weddings from now on.   If only that were possible!
I’ll start with one of my favorites, but I must say, I liked many of them!

I loved the texture and shadows!

 

Mr. Groom himself

Esther was a truly beautiful bride!

adoration for her man

the setting sun was just gorgeous!

The next 2 were taken by Hans, who was my assistant at this wedding.

Good times with the bridal party

Beginning their journey together…

…as Mr. & Mrs. Graber

 

Free Spirit

A photoshoot with 2 of the amazing ladies in my life…I can’t resist posting a few of my favorites even tho I didn’t take these pictures!  (Thanks, Dave, for a super job with them- I know this was a stretch for you, a film photographer shooting digital, but you did just swell! )

“Compared to friendship, gold is dirt.”

The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow seperately without growing apart.

We had good times in the wheat field!  Most of those pictures will not be appearing on here tho!

Last but not least- my absolute favorite from the day! 

I love the free spirit and good times we share together. 
Good times don’t always mean you laugh and have a party (but we do alot of that too!). 
Sometimes a good time means crying together or just being with each other and there for the other person, feeling with them the pain and struggles of life.   
Shan and Miss, you ladies have been with me thru thick and thin the past few years and I treasure your friendship so much!  You’re like the sisters that I don’t have and I can’t imagine my life without ya’ll!
Love you both so much and can’t wait to keep making memories with you!

 

Wendell & Michelle

The first shall be last!  Ok, so not quite, but this is the first wedding I shot when I got back from Thailand- actually before I was really home- I flew to KS to help Heidi with this wedding before coming on home to PA. 
We were a bit nervous about the weather that day, but thank God it only dripped a few drips and we were able to take all the pictures outside as planned.
Meet Wendell & Michelle!

A few of the glowing bride.

And the groom too.

I just loved this location!

 

 

Matt & Anita

A glowing bride…a handsome groom…a gorgeous day filled with lots of delicious sunshine…all the ingredients for a beautiful wedding day!  
As you can tell, I had a hard time deciding what to post…enjoy, and like always- critiques and comments are very much welcomed and appreciated! 

Anita’s dress was so cute and beautifully made!

I’m not normally a big fan of jumping pictures, but this one I couldn’t help but like!  Love Anita’s expression!

The hayfield proved to have lots of potential.

Love the sequence here…

Your opinions please- is this cool? 

Or is the original better?

I love this shot of the guys- once again, props to Mike for this!

All cute n sweet.

A few more of the wedded ones.

…and they lived happily ever after.

 

Mark & Marian

This couple was truly amazing, and I loved working with them so much!  I would love to post many more pictures, but here’s a bit of a peek into their day.

Bathed in the glow of a motion-censor light.

Marian made all her girl’s dresses for them- they were beautiful!

Credit goes to Mike for this picture.  He’s sure that grooms are under-shot at weddings, so we’re out to change that this summer. :)

The guys- a fun group of them too.

Too cute- I just couldn’t resist.

Marian- a truly beautiful bride, from the inside out!

A few more of the happy couple…

 

Kids n stuff

It’s been awhile since I did a family shoot, and I had fun with these kids!

It’s this little guy just adorable??  I love the eyes!

So girl!

The whole family.

 

Engaged

I’m in a bit of a time-crunch right now, hence, the lack of new pictures being put on here (sorry to those of you my faithful supporters who have been bugging me for more pictures- I have plenty of them, but lots of pictures means not much time to post!  They will come eventually tho- I promise! )

To tide you over until then…Here’s a few pictures from a fun E-shoot I had a few weeks ago. 
Conrad & Delores were a very relaxed and fun couple, and our time together flew by! 
Looking forward to the July wedding!

 

Pink Happiness

What a beautiful day…!  Nate & Krista were a super couple to work with, and their wedding was gorgeous!  I totally loved Krista’s spring colors and the pink daisies- anyone who knows me well, knows I love daisies! 
I had a hard time choosing pictures to post, so hence, you get to see a bunch! 

 

Greenness

Your going to have to pardon the last post (it was just a teaser! ).  That wedding is coming, I promise, but the pictures are still being processed.  I have an E-shoot ready tho, so you get to see these awhile.
It’s so much fun being back into photography again!  Michael and Hilda were the first E-shoot I did since I’m home and they were a fun pair to work with!  Hilda is a good friend of mine, and knowing the people well always adds a great dimension to a photo session!

Not much beats the amazing GREEN of spring!

One of my favorites.

Michael & Hilda- you guys were great to work with! 
Looking forward to your wedding A LOT!!

 

coming soon…
