Brookside Country Club Wedding Photographer: Jeanette & Tony

Jeanette & Tony had a gorgeous wedding - HOT, but gorgeous:)  The temps were up around 100 all day long for their wedding, but neither of them seemed to mind....they were just so excited to be getting married.  At least it wasn't an outdoor wedding - they had their ceremony at St. Joseph the Worker and held their reception at Brookside Country Club - I used to live RIGHT next door to this venue!  Always fun to head back up to Allentown for weddings:)

Jeanette and Tony met in high school, and got engaged in Key West. Their proposal story is one of my all time favorites - Tony proposed to Jeanette on a boat during their trip to Key West - right after he popped the question he surprised her by having their best friends and family come out of the inside of the boat!  I love that he arranged for everyone closest to them to come down to Key West and celebrate their proposal - these two are the sweetest!

Here are some of my favorite images from their day, and you can always check out even more in their SLIDESHOW!

I always love this moment when dads see their daughter for the first time on the wedding day - it was a very emotional moment:

One of my all time favorite "groom seeing the bride for the first time" shots - he was full of emotion, the best man looks on in excitement, and mom lends a calming hand:

Married!

They had a fun grand exit from their church where all of the guests were given wedding bells to ring as they ran by:

I always love this moment too - immediately after the ceremony, checking out the new rings for the first time:

Even though it was HOT HOT HOT, we ventured outside for a while for portraits - LOVE how these turned out. You can't even tell it was 100+ degrees:)

Brookside Country Club Wedding Photographer: Jenna & Matt

A few weeks back I headed up to Allentown to shoot Jenna and Matt's wedding at Brookside Country Club.  Ahhh, these pictures make me miss fall - we shot their wedding during one of the last weekends of the fall season - I feel like it's full on winter now!  At least that means the holidays are right around the corner:)  Speaking of holidays right around the corner....is Thanksgiving really ONE WEEK away?  When did that happen?  I feel like it was summer just last week.  Man this wedding season just FLEW by!

Here are a few images from their day:

Brookside Country Club Wedding Picture

This is one of those wedding dresses I would have probably never picked up to try on, but I fell in love with all the frills.  I'm usually not too frilly of a girl, but I just loved her dress:

My absolute fave - love their expressions, and the slight movement of the bubbles:)

Jenna was all about the details - feathers in her bouquet?  How awesome is that!  I might have to steal that for my wedding:)

The bride is beautiful! You’re right, I never would have looked at a dress as frilly as this one, but it sure works for her! Great pictures again Tina!

Sneak Peak

Just wanted to post a quick sneak peak from my double-header wedding weekend!  It was exhausting, but they were great weddings and I can't wait to post the rest of the images later in the week:)

Enjoy!

Happy Tuesday!
