Craig + Sara

Craig + Sara's wedding has been a long time coming in my book. I remember shooting their engagements sometime last year and thinking then, I can't wait to shoot their wedding. Sara was just so cute in her little outfit, and Craig was great at showing me around the city for their session - I just knew that June 16th, 2012 would be spectacular. And it was nothing short of that.

The girls got ready inside Plum Salon and Spa .... which was beautiful and full of windows. My favorite!! The ceremony and reception were held inside the Cork Factory - another favorite. And don't forget that Lori, from Wildflowers by Design, created all of the floral pieces!! T.J. and I enjoyed shooting all of the details that Sara and Lori came up with for the big day.

I think the best part about the day was once Craig + Sara said their vows and tied the knot - they were officially Mr. and Mrs. Love. Yep. LOVE! I adored how this creative couple played up the fact that their last name was Love. "Love" was on the programs, part of the favors and even projected onto the wall at the reception. I can say without a doubt that love was more than just their last name - it was the center of attention at Craig + Sara's wedding. So, so wonderful. -Brooke

 

Stephen + Angie

Stephen and Angie were totally awesome.  They added the Smilebooth a few days before the wedding and I think they were glad they did, especially when the Penn State Nittany Lion showed up to suprise the bride.  There was a lot of outgrageousness happening in it all night, here is just a taste. - T.J.

Jason + Kelly

Kelly is a dear friend of mine. And Jason is a perfect match for her. Kelly and I became friends way back in Middle School. She's one of those friends that you could talk to about anything and her investment in friendship is priceless. When I met Jason, I saw so many similar qualities which automatically convinced me that the two of them were a sure fit. They met during their college years, at Lehigh University and their wedding ceremony took place at Packer Church on campus. What I love about Jason and Kelly the most is their natural presence in front of the camera. They were so easy to work with! Before I would finish an explanation of a pose I'd like them to be in, they were in it, happy as could be. Their reception was held at the beautiful Architects Golf Club across the border in New Jersey. It's such a joy to see good friends marry their best friends and to have the opportunity to capture the moment. I could go on for hours about how happy I am for Jason and Kelly. Here are some of our favorites. -Jeff 

Justin + Betsy

Several Friday's ago my sister, Sam, and I got in the car for a six hour drive to upstate New York.  About four hours into the drive we stopped at a rest stop to get gas and snacks, and realized it was cold outside.  Two hours later, at our hotel we had the same realization, it was cold! So after checking into our hotel, we headed to the nearest mall to buy warmer clothes. Sam loved the excuse to buy a new outfit. The next day we drove to Thousands Island, New York and shot one of the coolest weddings I have ever been a part of.  Justin, Betsy, their families and bridal party were all so fun to be around.  They were married in a castle on an island, and left the ceremony in a beautiful antique motor boat. The reception was fun and laid back, held at a local winery.  It was a photographer's dream.  Sam and I had a blast hanging out all day, capturing the beautiful moments between Justin and Besty.  You could feel the deep, deep love Justin + Betsy had for eachother. It was awesome. - T.J.

Mark + Dana

Mark + Dana were so much fun to work with! They tied the knot at the Heritage Hills Golf Resort and it was such a gorgeous, sunny day! A bit too sunny when it comes to photography, but the clouds came in just perfectly for our portraits! Brooke's dad, Steven Courtney, sang "Here Comes The Sun" while Dana was walked down the isle... preceded, of course, by the ring "bears". With Memorial Day right around the corner, Mark + Dana provided a true American meal to all their guests! This included a french fry bar, mini sliders, and a variety of kabobs! Talk about heaven on Earth! Maddie and I had a great time getting to know this sweet couple and it was an absolute pleasure to capture their special day.

Enjoy -Jeff

Tyler + Kaddie

It's not often that we photograph weddings where the bride and groom can say "We were high school sweethearts." Or even middle school sweethearts. But this was the first time I've ever shot, or known of, anyone that could say "We are elementary school sweethearts." Yea, you read that right. Tyler + Kaddie have been dating since 4th grade. They've been together for 10 years... and tied the knot last weekend at a beautiful, outdoor ceremony. Their vows and ceremony was precious, and made me tear up multiple times.

Tyler + Kaddie are two of the sweetest, most genuine people I know. Every part of their wedding day was infused with homespun love and personality. The Smilebooth was also a huge hit... as expected.

Here are a handful of my favorite images. Happy Monday! -Brooke

David + Jesse

I can not tell you how excited I am about showing you David + Jesse's wedding. This beautiful couple tied the knot at one of my favorite venues ever, the Glasbern Inn. David + Jesse live in Florida, but traveled to Pennsylvania along with their family for their wedding celebration. Lori, from Wildflowers by Design, created Jesse's bouquet and centerpieces. They were gorgeous, as expected! David + Jesse's ceremony was short and sweet, and with Jesse's sister officiating the wedding, it was intimate and quaint.

T.J. and I loved the moments following David + Jesse's first look, where they checked each other out and commented on how exciting the day was going to be. I also loved Jesse's dress. It was perfect for her. All in all, it was a beautiful day in every way. Made me love my job a little bit more. 

Enjoy! -Brooke

Scott + Christen

Not that many of my friends are married yet, so when Christen told me she was engaged I was extremely excited for her.  I was even more excited when she wanted me to capture the day.  Christen and I have been really good friends since college and I am so blessed to have her in my life.  When I first met Scott, I knew he was a perfect fit for Christen.  Throughout the wedding, I remember myself continuously telling people how great I thought Scott was for Christen and everyone agreed.  Their wedding took place at the gorgeous Belmont Mansion right outside Philadelphia.  They said their vows and I-do's with the skyline and muffled sounds of the Phillies game in the background.  It couldn't have been more romantic.  It was an absolute pleasure to be a part of this wedding and I am so happy for Christen and Scott! - Jeff
