Lacy & Jon's Wedding

On May 16th, 2009 I spent the day with my friends Lacy & Jon who celebrated their union in Girard, PA. Lacy used to be in my small group so we have known each other for a long time. I am so excited to see her with a great guy who makes her happy. The two seemed to be so much in love and are very cute together.

Their wedding and reception were at the Girard Alliance Church. The weather was once again your typical spring day in Erie County PA. It started off raining but thankfully gave us a break for some nice outside portraits at the right time.

Here are just a few from the day but there are many more on the Facebook page.

Ashley & Sam's Wedding

To start off the wedding season for the year I photographed Ashley and Sam, a really fun couple in Girard, PA. The weather was not great that day with high winds and a little rain which made it difficult to capture anything outside. But these guys were hardy! We stopped at the Erie Courthouse on the way to the reception and grabbed some shots in between the sprinkles. I'm glad we had the chance to do that because those are my favorites.

^I love the look of love on Sam's face. He seems so proud that he just married a beautiful lady!

This last one is my favorite because Ashley looks like an angel. One good thing about the wind is you might end up with some neat veil movement.

The wedding was beautiful and I had a lovely day. Thanks guys!

"Show of the Dress" Bridal Portraits

Not long ago I had the fortune to take portraits of a few recent brides in their wedding dresses. This is a fairly new concept with wedding photographers and it's usually called "Trash the Dress". I don't really care for that title because we're not going out to "trash" the dress. We are just going to go to places we may not go and pose in ways that we might not on the wedding day. It could be something like sitting in the grass...a big no-no on the wedding day...or posing in non-traditional ways. This allows for me to capture many beautiful portraits of the bride in her dress to have and share. You paid a lot for it, might as well Show it Off!

Here are just a few samples. There are many more on my Facebook page.
