Yikes…Hello 2009…

Yikes, I haven’t posted in awhile! Yikes, I have three or four posts to post! Yikes, it’s almost 2009!

…I’ll be here and there, sporadically checking my email throughout this week. Don’t fret, new site coming very soon!!! (yikes, my head hurts)
Did I mention I’m going to AZ in two weeks to with some great photog friends of mine?! I’ll be attending the Digital Wedding Forum’s 2009 Convention. I’ll be painting photographs with light at night in the desert!! Just a couple of cool things I have in store for this year. I can’t wait to take classes for 5 days straight and re energize my shooting, vision and skills.

2009 is looking pretty good (we’re still open with 2009 dates)!

THANKS FOR MAKING 2008 AWESOME!!!! I couldn’t do it without you.

Keep rockin. XOXO Krisha

Erin + Andrew Esession

Hilarious. Hilarious is the adjective that comes to mind when I think of Erin and Andrew. Last Saturday we met in Downtown Lancaster for their e-session. This was the first time Erin, Andrew and myself were meeting, it’s like a blind date! Well, this date was a perfect fit right from the start.!! We were cracking jokes, smiling, laughing all the good stuff you could ever ask for.  I think their humor and character really come through in their shots.

Erin and Andrew are currently living in Pittsburgh (my college glory years spent there) so we have some things in common. Andrew is from Philly (as is the one side of my family) and Erin spent a portion of her life growing up in Lancaster. She loves the use of brick and architecture of Lancaster City…me too!!

I am bummed your little Pug puppy couldn’t come along. Some other time I suppose. Can’t wait for your August 2009 wedding. There will be characters all around! (I’m giddy inside!)

My best! xoxo

One of my favs.

Another favorite.

Megan + Ashley 11.8.08

Megan and Ashley created a quick impromptu wedding last Saturday at The Pressroom, downtown Lancaster. It was a perfect fall wedding. Leaves were blowing, the wind started howling and the holiday lights were light in Steinman Park. Megan and Ashley have the most adorable son Rhys. Ryhs cracked me up, he’s a pretty cool dude.

Megan and I graduated high school together and have kept in contact throughout the years. We share the same passion for photography. Luckily this was the only weekend I had open in November. Everything fell into place quite nicely with only three weeks of planning! You’re a super woman Megan!

Thanks for allowing me to be part of your day! Enjoy~

Faith + Luc 11.01.08

All I have to say is find a European man ladies, because the love in their eyes and their affection that comes through is inspiring! HA! Luc is from France, ooolala! Both families were so warm and inviting towards me. Not only was it the first time for some of Luc’s family and friends to be in America but it was the first time both families met. My first international couple. I learned a lot about different wedding traditions. I loved observing it all. The interaction, affection, laughs and the tears.

Faith and Luc met prior to their wedding because of the lack of light after their ceremony. I absolutely LOVE to photograph couples meeting for the first time prior to their ceremony. For me it’s more intimate and more direct. Here is Faith walking around the corner to see Luc’s back for the first time. Ahh, the anticipation, love love, love it!

Onto the reception at Mulberry Art Studio. Mulberry looked wonderful. The artwork was so fitting for Faith and Luc. In France your guest, not sure if it’s family and friends or one or the other, present a skit for the bride and groom. Faith and Luc’s friends performed two skits. One was hilarious where they performed a part of a famous French comedy scene.  There was dancing, harmonica playing, it was great. The second skit was performed by all of their friends. They sang a song and performed a rap with some dancing from one of Luc’s brothers. Very touch and very funny as well. Kinda wished this was an American tradition as well.

Faith holding onto Luc during their first dance. They were always connected through touch contact during the whole day. That’s love!

Instead of cake they have a three tiers of cream puffs. Held on by a sugar like glaze drizzled all around.

There is a an elevator in Mulberry. I’m telling where but it’s fun to play with. Here are their end of the night shots.

Faith and Luc Mini Preview for today

Sometimes I love computers and technology and software. Then sometimes I have a day like today where I’m about to throw Adobe Photoshop out of the window. If I had windows in my studio you’d be in trouble Photoshop.

Faith and Luc please forgive me for being so behind in posting your images. The two of you are so beautiful and there are TONS of images I’d love to post right now. Just for today here are a couple and the rest tomorrow.

Enjoy! I’ll tell the story of Faith and Luc on their real preview tomorrow.

I’m starting off with one of my favorite images, Faith’s dress.

The beach is for the birds

I’m WAY behind on blogging. I appologize. BUT I’m doing multiple posts today!!

Laugh all you want but a couple of weeks ago (Oct 25th) I finally got to go to the beach. I know. It was October. Probably why I’m so pale but I love the beach during the off season. I got to share the weekend with some of my great girlfriends. Typical champagne drinking, painting toe nails while crying to Sex in the City type of weekend. Man, did I need that! I returned to Lancaster rejuvenated and refreshed.

Saturday it was rainy than sunny than windy than rainy…rinse and repeat….type of weather. Anyways while it was sunny I stepped outside with my camera onto the front balcony and captured this fun series.

Laura + Devon 10.11.08

Oh my goodness, I think I’m still recovering from Saturdays wedding! I had TONS of fun photographing Laura and Devon. I think I can seriously say this was the craziest reception I have photographed this year. I had a blast and was constantly cracking up watching everyone. Crazy dancing people. The dance floor was packed as you’ll see below.

Laura and Devon had fantastic weather last Saturday. Laura and her bridesmaids got ready at her god parent’s house…can I live there?!…..their landscape was the perfect setting. I couldn’t have asked for anything better! The ladies were gorgeous and the men were handsome. The ceremony was performed at Aldersgate U.M.C and the reception at Wisehaven (awesome checkered floor)  Oh oh, the cake, so scrumptious, by Bella Manse! There was a groom’s cake too.

My second shooter Dave and I were met with such warm hugs and kind words all throughout Saturday. I am truly grateful!

I wish you both the best and now, Laura and Devon.

Mrs. J Lancaster Session

Mrs. J is so reminiscing of Marilyn Monroe. Mrs. J looks killer in red and was smoking during the whole shoot. There are so many I’d love to post but I think I’ll reserve myself and just post these three.

She’s so smoking good thing her husband can put her out! Yeah, Firefighters!!

Hope you had fun! xoxo, K
