Wedding

Jessica & Hans Part 1 | Best photos from their Bear Creek Mountain Resort wedding

It was the first Saturday in what was to be a month of perfect-weather weekends as Jessica and Hans prepared for their wedding day in separate suites at Bear Creek Mountain Resort in Macungie, PA. The lovely bride was brimming with excitement and she could hardly help exclaiming throughout the morning, "I'm getting married!" (The chorus changed to "I just got married!" in the afternoon) Brides like Jessica make our job so easy—her pure joy just radiates off of her and her groom Hans couldn't help but have a smile on his own face when he looked at her.  They are clearly perfect compliments to each other.

Jessica was all about the details and the DIY projects. After choosing red and black as her wedding colors, she found creative ways to incorporate pops of red in unexpected places (like the groomsmen's socks!) Many of her guests and even her venues seemed to play along. The wedding ceremony was at Muhlenberg College in Allentown, where all the doors are painted red as a sign of welcome.

Special thanks to Regina Rahill who joined our team for the day to help us capture all those details.  We'll have more photos coming soon!

Look —it's a bride!

We have been so lucky to have three weeks in a row of awesome weddings, which we will be posting as soon as we can catch our breath from this whirlwind month. (There have been plenty of things going on during the weekdays too—not that we are complaining!) Yesterday's wedding was full of so many amazing moments —but there was one photo I couldn't wait to share.  Just after the wedding, the bridal party went to a downstairs room in the church to sit for a moment while their guests were catching shuttles to the reception. While the bride was changing into more comfortable shoes a group of little girls who had arrived at church for choir practice passed by and stopped short when they spotted her.  "Look! It's a bride!" "She's so pretty!" "She looks like a princess!" They stood at the door captivated.  I just love the expressions on their faces—such a fun moment.
