One of the best parts of shooting weddings is getting to shoot awesome people with awesome people. Joe and Lauren were such a laid back, fun couple to be around and I got to shoot the wedding with my little sister Samantha. Sam has been into photography since high school and has come along on shoots with Brooke and I for years. It was fun to have her come along with me as my assitant and she did a great job. It was a beautiful day, filled with so much love, laugther and good times. -T.J.
T.J. and I are primarily wedding photographers. And I love that, don't get me wrong! But there are those days when I wish a bride would jump over fireworks for a photo, or someone's reception would be a giant pizza party. And that is why I thank God that T.J. and I own walk in love. It allows us to be creative in a way that's not comformed to someone's normal wedding day schedule. It's refreshing - and makes us better wedding photographers for that matter!
I'm thrilled to show you a handful of images from The Inspired Collection Lookbook shoot. Please check out the actual lookbook on shopwalkinlove.com, HERE - and take a few minutes to watch the AMAZING video that Jeff and I collaborated on. (Jeff shot it, I edited it.)
I am blessed to have such a talented team, beautiful (I mean, seriously beautiful) friends and a husband who is so passionate about life that it overflows into every aspect of our lives.
I give you, The Inspired Collection....
For real... watch this!
This past weekend our team had four weddings and a Smilebooth on saturday! I remember a time when it was just Brooke and I shooting weddings, so to have four on one day felt like quite the acomplisment. Because of the four weddings we needed to have my brother Mike set up the Smilebooth! Mike has come along to do some Smilebooths with me in the past, but this was his first solo run. For those of you who have booked the Smilebooth this summer, you might see Mike at some point because he will be doing quite a few of them for us, so with that being said I would like to introduce everyone to my little brother Mike :
After the wedding I asked Mike how it went and he said, "It was so much fun, I love weddings." and from the look of these Smilebooth photos it looks like it was a lot of fun. Jeff and I went to college with Christen and we were so excited when she approached us about the wedding! I am so excited to see the photos that Jeff shot, but for now here are some of my favorites from the Smilebooth. - T.J.
The time has come for Volume III of our Working At Work blog series. So, here goes...
This past weekend Brooke and I were blessed to be a part of the wedding of Ethan and Christin. Before Brooke and I got married we went through pre-marital counseling with Ethans parents, Fred and Sharon, so there family is near and dear to our hearts. Fred has also been one of Brooke's dads best friends for years, naturally we were very excited to be involved! We were also very excited when Ethan decided to add the Smilebooth to his wedding package a couple of months ago. The guests were awesome at the Smilebooth, but none were better than the blonde girl in the teal dress. When I was looking through the photos to post this blog, I was cracking up at all the outrageous faces she is making in these images. Well done! Here are my favorites - T.J.

The best aspect of working at weddings is that you get to be around people at their absolute happiest. Everyone involved in Dan and Christine's wedding were an absolute pleasure to work with. The weather was gorgeous, the super-moon was out, and love was in the air. Dan and Christine dated for about six years prior to their wedding day and I could instantly tell how much they cared about each other from the moment they had their first look. Their smiles on their faces told the whole story as they savored the moments of their big day. The event took place at La Massaria at Bella Vista Golf Course in Gilbertsville, PA. It's always fun to be able to capture love in new locations and the Bella Vista was a great host for all. Maddie and I had a great time shooting there. Working with Dan and Christine was a lot of fun and honestly, their patience through the day was admirable. They let nothing stand in the way from them having a great first day as husband and wife. - Jeff
This past Sunday, T.J. and I shot Travis + Judy's wedding at the Yellow Barn, at Landis Valley Museum. We've said it before, but I'll say it again - I love shooting at Landis Valley. Everywhere you look is a beautiful little nook to shoot photos in. Just perfect. Jeff joined us for the reception, shooting dancing photos and being a weirdo in the Smilebooth - truly one of his talents.
T.J. and I have gotten to know Travis + Judy a little bit through our church, LCBC, and the young adult events at Saturate. They are both wonderful, creative and talented people. Judy sometimes plays in my dad's band, which is also awesome. And I know/remember Travis from highschool. Funny how everyone and everything comes together sometimes.
Hope you enjoy some of my favorite photos from their wedding day. It was beautiful! -Brooke
Two weeks before the wedding I always e-mail our lovely brides to finalize details and ask where the Smilebooth needs to be located. Judy described it to me and I thought nothing of the location until I showed up to the venue and was thrilled with where she decided to put it! I always suggest to our clients that they put the Smilebooth as close to the dance floor as possible and Judy practicually put it on the dance floor, which was awesome! The Smilebooth is always exciting and when you put it near the dance floor you instantly have a more exciting dance floor! The energy from the floor feeds the smilebooth and vice versa. Anyway, the wedding was a blast and the smilebooth was a big hit! Here are some of my favorites - T.J.
And here's the grande finale of "Nick + Lindsey" week -- their wedding photos!! Last Saturday was a wonderful in ever way. Everything about it was beautiful. It was awesome to see T.J. actually be part of a wedding and not just the photographer. It was awesome to have our entire team there, shooting side by side, doing their best. It was awesome to see Nick + Lindsey join together in marriage with their whole hearts.
I couldn't be happier with Nick + Lindsey's images. Let us know which ones are your favorites. Enjoy! -Brooke
