Riverview Country Club Wedding with Gaelic Flavor

Mo Anam Cara - "my soul mate" in Irish - was the theme of this weekend's wedding.  I certainly felt like I was in the green fields of Ireland...and straight from a scene from one of my favorite movies, "Falling for a Dancer".
The wedding was held here in Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley at the The Riverview Country Club along the Delaware River.
The gazebo was surrounded by deep purple butterfly bushes and the ceremony was adorned by the graceful flight of Red Admirals and Monarchs, nature's royalty.
Despite the dramatic interior of the Villa, the children weren't content to be indoors all night.
My friend, William, may have been one of the youngest but he was definitely one of the quickest!  He managed to catch one of the large toads hopping around after dark.  Who said weddings weren't fun?!

An Oleg Cassini Gown & Manolo 'Blahntastic' Shoes!

If these names mean something to you, you've been doing some serious clothes shopping.  The bride last weekend looked stunning as she walked down the aisle with her high school sweetheart at Our Lady of Queen of Peace Church in Gilbert, Pennsylvania.  She recently graduated with her Doctorate in Physical Therapy and he's a member of the Temple Police Force and doing graduate studies in Criminal Justice.

You can tell that this bride is a fan of  long-term relationships because she's known her maid of honor since kindergarten and her other bridesmaids have been close friends since high school and roomed together at Temple University. 
The weather was perfect for their reception at Woodstone Country Club in Danielsville.

Citizens of the World

This delightful couple started out in West Africa, lived in Paris for a while and settled down in Forks Township.  I'm really looking forward to photographing their international wedding at the Bank Street Annex in Historic Downtown Easton this summer!

Morgan Hill Birthday Celebration

How many images do you have on your laptop/desktop that you've been meaning to print and place into an album or scrapbook?  This past weekend I did what I love to do... capture relationships between people and immortalize those moments in a sequence of images that evoke memories of that day. Click on the cover to see the photos inside.

Chemistry Captured

The spark between people is fleeting and difficult to capture but sometimes in the right environment and under the right circumstances a photographer gets lucky.  This past weekend in Alburtis, PA this young couple forgot about smiling at me and saved their most authentic smiles for each other.  Those are the sweetest smiles of all...the ones lovers give to each other.
