Anna & Mike – Lehigh University Engagement

Jim — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 14:32:05 +0000

When Anna and Mike told me about how they met, I really couldn’t believe it. They met at freshman orientation at Lehigh University and have been together ever since. Their alma mater’s campus was the perfect location for some engagement photos now that they are getting ready to be married!

To climb the fire escape, the two switched shoes so Anna wouldn’t fall. How cute, ha!

Marcie & Matt – Philadelphia Museum of Art Engagement

Jim — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 21:54:20 +0000

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of hanging out and shooting with Marcie and Matt. It looked like the weather wasn’t going to cooperate (which it didn’t for awhile), but we still got some shots in – we even had a blue sky for about 10 mins and a magnificent sunset. Stay tuned for their wedding in June!

Holly & Jerry’s Wedding at Artsquest Steelstacks

Jim — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 14:30:53 +0000

Wow, I can’t even tell you the smiles that came when I went through Holly and Jerry’s wedding photos. Their wedding was just an absolute joy and you can’t argue that these two are just totally cute together. You both are the best! Congratulations!

At this point we headed to the brand new ArtsQuest SteelStacks for the reception!

Ebony and Kelvin – Wedding in Easton, PA

Jim — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 01:27:29 +0000

It was pretty evident that Ebony & Kelvin have something special going on from the time I met them. And they have incredibly great senses of humor (more on that later). Their wedding was a non-stop good time. Especially the reception…they got DOWN!

Ebony and Kelvin decided to play a joke on all the guests. The officiant pretended he could barely speak English and couldn’t pronounce their names. When everyone started to get a little annoyed with how un-smoothly the ceremony was going, they revealed it to be a big joke! The whole room was in hysterics!

Ebony decided to put some Steelers tickets in her garter. Kelvin went through the roof with excitement!

Holly & Jerry – Engagement Part 2 in Downtown Bethlehem

Jim — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 14:30:32 +0000

You may remember Holly & Jerry from when we had a mini engagement session with them at a bowling alley a few months ago. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to finish the session due to the weather. I think there was a tornado in the vicinity! We did get together just a few days before their wedding to get some outdoor shots. We couldn’t have asked for better weather on this day! Stay tuned, because their wedding photos are coming up next!

Nikki & Bob’s Greek Wedding

Jim — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 15:02:11 +0000

I met Nikki & Bob through Amy & Dan. Ever since I first met them, I was extremely excited for their wedding. The whole day was so memorable – from the great friends/family, the awe-inspiring Greek church to the rocking reception at Mendenhall Inn. My favorite moments had to be from the Greek band and dances toward the end of the night. So. Much. Fun.

Thanks to Lauren Brimhall for second shooting this one with me.

Kelly & Chris Wedding Day 2 – Backyard Carnival

Jim — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 22:14:20 +0000

After celebrating the wedding ceremony, Kelly & Chris planned a backyard carnival party for the next day. Kelly & Chris really spent a lot of time on setting this up, including making a custom made photo booth! Chris is offering these…well…incredible photo booths for events, so be sure to check them out. If you missed Day 1, here’s the link. What a fun day!

Kelly & Chris Wedding Day 1 – Wedding in Bethlehem, PA

Jim — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 21:10:47 +0000

And we’re back! I’ve been out of power most of this past week due to the freak snow storm that dropped about 12″ of snow on us. First up on the blog is Kelly & Chris!

You may remember Kelly & Chris from their recent love session. The two celebrated their marriage with a beautiful ceremony and short reception at Hotel Bethlehem. Celtic Fest was taking place in Bethlehem that day, which allowed us to even catch a sweet parade. Also, be sure to check out the details Kelly and Chris hand made below! This was just the first day of the festivities. Stay tuned shortly for Day 2, which was a backyard carnival!

Beth & Andrew – Wedding in Wilkes-Barre, PA

Jim — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 18:59:13 +0000

This blog is about to explode as I get caught up with some of the weddings, engagements, and other shoots I’ve recently shot. First on the list is Beth & Andrew, who had a beautiful wedding in Wilkes-Barre, PA. I went to school and had some classes with a couple of their bridal party members. The whole day was a great time! Congrats!

Erica and Greg’s Wedding in River Vale, NJ

Jim — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 19:59:33 +0000

Erica and Greg had their wedding at the beautiful Florentine Gardens. What a memorable day, and lots of fun. I second shot this one for Lauren Brimhall.

There was a little mishap, and I got time to take some photos of the guys and girls. Awesome bridal party for sure.
