deann & jared:: engagement session

Deann & Jared met up with me at one of the metroparks in the area on a very cold day to shoot their engagement session. I think the fact that I barely noticed the cold shows what a great time I had with them.  Here are some of my favorites:

Lauren & Dan

I loved Lauren and Dan’s wedding. What a great group of people they had surrounding them on their wedding day. Special thanks to my second shooter Brian for helping me out and getting some great shots.

The church was gorgeous and was full of great light:

Lauren’s brother seems to be controlling a burst of fire (I think it is really just one of the dj’s lights):

Thanks Lauren & Dan!

Kate & Mike

Kate and Mike had a lovely wedding at the Settler’s Inn in the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania. It was a gorgeous day, despite the rain that occurred during the ceremony. Here are some of my favorites from their day:

As you can see the grounds of this venue were gorgeous and I had to get some shots of the flowers and butterflies hanging about.

Kristin and Brian are the sweetest (and cutest). They are just one of those couples that when you see them together you get instantly why it works. Here are some of my favorites from their day.
