Blue Ridge Country Club Wedding Photographer: Ashley & Jesse

Posted in Weddings show hide 12 comments

I've been looking forward to Ashley & Jesse's wedding for a long time - ever since I "met" (over email) Ashley's twin sister Sam (we were both featured in Premier Bride), I was so excited for the wedding. A maid of honor that's a wedding photographer? I KNEW this would be an amazing wedding:) Jesse & Ashley held their wedding at the Blue Ridge Country Club in Harrisburg - LOVED the inside of this venue with all of the twinkling Christmas lights. These two were so cute together, so excited to be married....Ashley was nothing but smiles all day long:)

It wasn't the best day weather wise, it pretty much rained all day long - but the weather gods answered my prayers and the rain held off for a few minutes so we could get some amazing portraits on the country club grounds. Ashley was simply stunning with her whole "Greek goddess" look:)

Here are some of my favorites, and make sure to check out their SLIDESHOW for more from their day!

Jenna & Ryan: Wedding

Posted in Weddings show hide 11 comments

Last weekend Jaime and I headed out to Camp Hill for Jenna & Ryan's wedding - I think every single photographer who had a wedding this past weekend was tweeting about one thing.....the EXTREME heat. I think the high was 97 degrees, with a heat index of 110. To say it was HOT would be an understatement. I just felt so bad for all the guys in black tuxes! The whole bridal party were such troopers though, so we had a blast:)

Jenna & Ryan had so many special little touches to their day - my favorite by far was that she had her grandpa and great uncle perform a song during the ceremony and one during the reception - her grandpa has an awesome voice. I LOVE when weddings are personalized with little touches like that:) You'll have to check out their SLIDESHOW to see grandpa in action:

SUCH a pretty location, their ceremony and reception was held at the West Shore Country Club in Camp Hill, PA:

I love Jenna's rings - the diamond was her mom's:

Jenna, you have a gorgeous smile:)

HELLOOO hot bridal party!

Even though it was SUPER hot, I was in heaven because the light was amazing:

We lucked out and found these awesome weeping willow trees:

Hope the golfers didn't mind us taking over one of the holes for a few minutes:)

We got to ride around in golf carts for our pictures - Jaime was my driver, and I was a BIT afraid for my life. I got pictures of us in action, but I'm going to spare you all and not post them. We're red, sweaty, and our hair is a hot mess. You're welcome Jaime:)

I usually don't post the bouquet/garter pictures, but I couldn't stop laughing at this one - check out Jenna's grandma in the background!

Congrats guys! Hope you're enjoying your honeymoon in St. Lucia!

Check out more of Jenna & Ryan's pictures in their SLIDESHOW - happy Tuesday!

Joan - August 1, 2010 - 7:29 pm

Beautiful photos Tina and Jaime! It looked like a gorgeous setting for a wedding. I love her grandma in the shot with the bouquet! I really love looking at the slideshows. Do you pick the music or is it a song special to the bride and groom?

Amanda - July 29, 2010 - 6:22 pm

You know that means that you HAVE to post the photos of ya’ll now, right?

Lisa-Marie - July 29, 2010 - 4:30 pm

Jess - July 29, 2010 - 6:30 am

Wow! These came out so well! Jenna is gorgeous and everyone looks like they are having a blast at the reception. I especially love the black and white pic of Jenna and Ryan dancing.

Jess - July 29, 2010 - 6:24 am

Wow! These came out so well! Jenna looks beautiful and I especially love the black and white one of them dancing.

Kylene - July 28, 2010 - 12:10 pm

Lauren and Alex

Posted in Weddings show hide 5 comments

This past weekend J and I headed down to Harrisburg for Lauren and Alex's wedding at the Crowne Plaza - Lauren is my brother-in-law's sister, so I knew it would be an awesome time:) It's always fun doing a wedding where you know a bunch of the people attending. It felt like deja-vu from my sister's wedding, because it was almost exactly the same guest list:) This was just an overall awesome wedding - the bride was super laid back, the weather was PERFECT, and the whole day went off without a hitch. Lauren and Alex have been together since high school, so it was so much fun to see a couple who has been through so much together celebrate their wedding day.

Here are some of my favorites:

I just LOVED her dress:

LA1

LA2

LA6

LA8

LA10

LA12

LA14

Loved her cute expression:)

LA16

I have to apologize to the guests of the hotel for this one. I decided to take this shot smack in the middle of the tiny hotel lobby, and had to get down on the floor with my butt stuck straight up in the air. Again, guests, I apologize for subjecting you to that:)

LA17

This is my absolute favorite - I looooove both of their expressions. Doesn't Alex have an awesome smile?? Love it:)

LA20

J captured this little gem - love this one too!

LA21

LA22

EM2

LA25

Lookie who I found:) (my sister and brother-in-law)

LA29

LA32

I just had to post this one - look at Paul Hetrick bustin' out his moves:) This is Lauren's dad (my sister's father-in-law), and apparently he RARELY dances, so I got a fun little sequence of him getting down on the dance floor:)

LA37

Loooooove this one too (ok, ok, I know that's like the 6th time I've said that in this post) - such a sweet moment between Lauren and her brother (who happens to be my awesome brother-in-law). Just ignore the tray of shots, ok?

LA39

I could NOT stop laughing when I saw this one. At first glance, you're like "nice, a wide shot of the church". Then you zero in on me. See me? The one sticking my head out in the aisle? Who knew I was so limber? Looks like a perfect 90 degree angle if I do say so myself:)

LA43

You also didn't know I was so hard core, did you? A note to all future brides, I promise to NOT make this face at your wedding. Ever. I really promise. J was testing his light and asked me to make a pose, so I decided to saunter over to him like this. He is ooooone lucky guy. He doesn't even know:)

LA44

Check this dude out. Just chillin' with his 70-200mm. J is the best:)

LA45

Lauren and Alex, thank you SO much for having us on your wedding day. It was so much fun (as any Hetrick party is:), and I hope you guys are having an awesome time at the beach.

my favorite shot is of the bride’s dress. that screams magic to me. hey Philadelphia photographer. i saw your post on jamie delanie’s blog and i thought the same thing to myself, “no love for philly” who knows perhaps we’ll meet up in DC if you decided to go to one of her lessons.

Joan - August 18, 2009 - 9:05 pm
