Natalie & Matt; August 3, 2012

There are just some weddings that really stay with you.  Natalie and Matt's beautiful August wedding is one that will stick with us for awhile.  When I first met Natalie and Matt they told me that were high school sweethearts.  We started going over the details of their big day I knew that this wedding was going to be special.  The wedding ceremony and reception was located at Scioto Reserve which provided a stunning backdrop for this lovely day.  Natalie and Matt had tons of great touches that made the day not only special for them but also for their friends and family.  There were wonderful surprises like a bagpiper which lead Natalie and Matt down the aisle after saying their "I do's" and a group of Irish Step Dancers who preformed during the reception. The band Red Hot Rhythm Review provided the amazing music that kept the guests dancing  all night.  Below are just a few of my favorite photos from this awesome day!

Natalie & Matt chose to see each other before walking down the aisle.  This is the moment when Matt turned around and saw his beautiful bride for the first time!  

Matt was such an easy, natural groom to photograph.  And because of his ease we were able to capture some really nice portraits of him like the one above.

What can we say about this photo of Natalie?  Just a glowing, beautiful bride!

The happy couple together. 

These are some of my favorite reception shots.  Everyone was so happy to celebrate with Natalie and Matt and there were just so many smiling faces! 

Congratulations Natalie & Matt!  Many happy years to come!

Erin & Duncan; July 28, 2012

I first met Erin & Duncan this past February on a cold winter day.  Immediately I could see the love and warmth they had for each other and their families.  They told me a story of how they biked across the country last summer together.  On this trip they had a "mock wedding" with their fellow biking friends in Wyoming and began planning their July 2012 wedding. There day would begin at St. John's Catholic church and end at the Country Club of York. Erin & Duncan truly believe in the sanctity of marriage.  Their wedding was not only an amazing party, it was a day filled with love and special moments.  Here are just a few of my favorite images from Erin & Duncan's big day!

Erin & Duncan were both complete naturals in front of the camera which it made it that much easier for us to capture amazing photos!

 This group of photos of Erin just bring a smile to my face.  She is simply glowing and her happiness really shines through!

 Duncan was a totally relaxed groom and not afraid to smile and show how excited he was for this day. Erin had his cufflinks custom made with pieces of a map.  One cufflink showed the town in Wyoming where they had their mock wedding and one showed the town in Maryland where they would start their life together as husband and wife.

 Just a timeless photo of a beautiful bride.

Congratulations Erin & Duncan!  Many happy years to come!
