Kara + Ben: Williamsport, PA : August 15 2009

Watch carefully, see the tan spots floating through the images? Yep, this was my surprise for the day. It’s not lens flare. There wasn’t any crazy big things of pollen floating through the air. There were tons of gnats. I set these four shots to motion to show how I believe I captured orbs. I used the outside of Kara and Ben’s church for one of the formal bridal party settings. Before Heather and I left to head home, Ben and Kara told us some interesting spiritual things were going on during their ceremony. Guests and both Father’s (full Catholic Mass) noted some strange happenings. One strange occurrence I did see and capture with my camera (I was baffled) but I haven’t gotten to check it out yet. I think it’s pretty cool! Believe or not that’s your choice, but I’m one happy girl!

Kara and Ben’s wedding took place in Williamsport, Pa. The country side up there was so much fun to play with. I’m so glad I could be part of their day. Everything fell into place and Kara and I think it’s fate.  The way everything fell into place, makes a person think.  Kara and Ben had complete trust in me and my creative vision. When I wanted to take her dress outside she didn’t flinch. “Go work your magic” Kara said.  Happily I obliged!

I hope you two are having fun in Honduras. Saturday’s heat and humidity was their test run for their honeymoon. I’d like to thank the Greene and Gamble family, bridal party too, for all of your help and creating fun times.

Love!

Love Sick : April 2009 : Lancaster, Pa

I have some fantastic friends in my life. Ask me to name my best friends and I probably have too many but my best, bests, have been in my life forever. We’ve all grown up now…we’ll we’re trying to and I have to say, we are some pretty tough broads. I’m very proud of my best friends. To say they are strong women would be an understatement. We are strong and rocking, and while I’m rhyming, I hear Vegas knocking….hint hint.  Majority of us have become spread all over the US. To think about it I’m the only one who came back and stayed. I think that’s worked out well!

Growing up I think we had ideas of  who would get engaged first, who would get married first, who would have babies first…in all of these I don’t think any of us banked on Julie taking all three firsts. She did, and she’s doing quite well. I give Julie propps for her life, she moved far away to the deap south, met her husband, got engaged at a Rancid concert, got her white picket fence (litterly) pool too, fantastic career and now fantastic momma. She has a lot more courage then I do and I don’t tell her that often. It does break my heart that she’s so far away, in Georgia, but I deal and when she’s back in town I make sure to clear my schedule for her.

In April Julie and Miss. Ruby Rose came to town. Here are some pictures of our day together.  I love you Julie. Can’t wait to see you in a couple of weeks.

Lindsey & Matt : York, Pa : Jacobs Family Backyard:

Lindsey and Matt had a fun little reception party, gala, soiree in her parents backyard two weeks ago. Linds and Matt were married in Mexico in June (no swine flu, thank god!).  Their friends and family had a week of bonding while in Mexico. All of them came back in July to re bond again. Add in there some friends and family who couldn’t make the trek and you’ve got one heck of a party! Lindsey’s smile and laugh is infectious. I am so glad we got to spend this evening together. I’ve become very close to the Jacobs and Shultz/Sciortino families. I love photographing events when past clients and their families attend. I really value you all and am so glad to spend these special moments with you.

Cheers to the future! LOVE!! Ladies, when are we going to the Left Bank? I hear martinis calling our names!

Special thanks to Lori Hemphill and her Perfect Plan team. Lori is wonderful to work with and I highly recommend her services. A great coordinator is worth their weight in gold! Lori is there for you every step of the way. Her special touch really enhanced Lindsey and Matt’s evening. Please click here for Lori’s information. Big hug Lori, thank you!!

I experienced a first dance first, rain and sun while they were dancing! Can’t get anymore romantic and magical then that. So awesome.

I tried to fit this little girl in my shoot sac but she wouldn’t fit. I’m in love with her blond ringlet curls!

Pure emotion. Family is the best.
