Mike & Kathy’s Bridal Session | North East, PA

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

On Saturday afternoon we met up with Mike and Kathy for a portrait session a couple of hours before their wedding ceremony. The weather couldn’t have been better and we got some amazing portraits! Having your portrait session prior to your wedding is the perfect idea because then you don’t stop the festivities in the middle of your big day and leave your guests waiting for you. Murl and I did this and it worked out fantastically and we got wonderful images because we weren’t pressed for time.

Kathy wore such an amazing gown and looked absolutely gorgeous! They both looked great and did so well in front of the camera — it was hard to get it down to five photographs for the blog!

Super Fantastic Wedding Giveaway — Prize #1

Monday, April 27th, 2009

We are very excited to announce prize number one in the Super Fantastic Wedding Giveaway! [ I know, crazy name - but it really is super fantastic, there is no better way to describe it! :) ]

Prize #1:  The Romantic Giveaway

The winner who chooses the Romantic Giveaway will get a weekend stay at Bally Lough, a charming Findley Lake cottage [ website link to come ] and a breakfast voucher for Findley Lake’s fine dining establishment the Blue Heron Inn Bed and Breakfast!

Heather Neckers Photography Giveaway Sponsors

Bally Lough is a cottage nestled on a large pond a couple of miles from the center of town in Findley Lake. I chose this cottage for the Romantic Giveaway because its a cozy little retreat that is perfect for a private and romantic weekend getaway. You will be have a wide variety of dates to choose from for your weekend stay and all I can say is you can’t go wrong no matter what time of the year you choose. In the winter there is a fireplace to cuddle up next to while sipping wine and connecting with your loved one, and since it is only a few miles from Peek’n Peak you can spend the day on the slopes or at the spa before a romantic night in. When the weather is warmer there are trails throughout the 65 acres of forest, a hammock next to the pond for relaxing and a spot to have a bonfire at night. I just feel like it has something for everyone, no matter how active your lifestyle!

I chose the Blue Heron Inn because what goes better with a weekend getaway than fabulous food?! The Blue Heron Inn is famous for its tasty meals and wonderful atmosphere. They are located on the north end of Findley Lake and have a beautiful view of the lake from their covered deck. They are also an awesome place for dinner — I’ve never eaten anything there I didn’t like!

I hope the Romantic Giveaway appeals to you — if not, stay tuned for more prizes! The next announcement will come sometime this week!

I’ve got some really fantastic pictures from Kathy & Mike’s wedding day last Saturday, check the HNP facebook page later today for a few of those and there will be a blog post here soon of that portrait session as well!

A few weeks back Murl and I met with Raquel and Brian to photograph some downtown Erie engagement portraits. It was so much fun we decided we need to shoot in Erie more often! These two are so in love – I love the intense looks they share, so hot! Raquel and Brian are getting married next year and I’m honored to be photographing their special day. We got some really great images, I hope you enjoy them :) You can see more from Raquel and Brian’s Engagement Session on our Heather Neckers Photography Facebook page.

Happy Spring! Some Flower Photography

Friday, April 17th, 2009

Yay, it finally feels like Spring is really here! The sun is shining and I didn’t need to wear a coat as I walked to work today. Spring is a time for growth and all things new and I’m embracing the season — the blog and website will have a whole new look very soon! You can find hints of the new look right in these images down below!

Last week my mom brought some flowers to the studio for me and I had to photograph them, they were just so beautiful, and it made me realize I really LIKE photographing flowers :)   Anyone with a beautiful garden or flower shop? I’d love to do some photography for you!
