Last Friday we had the privilege of photographing my cousin’s fourth of July wedding! Ariel and Noah were married at Edward’s Chapel in French Creek, NY and had their reception at the Retreat at Peek’n Peak. These two looked so great and are so in love and had the biggest smiles on their faces the entire day, it was impossible to take a bad photograph. We were also fortunate to have total creative freedom throughout the whole day and we came up with some really great stuff! We got so many great images but I can only post a few, so here goes!

 Here are a couple of detail shots - I really love their wedding rings, Noah’s is so unique! 

   

  

  A tight embrace post-ceremony: 

   

  Then we got a chance for some fun shots across the road from the church. 

   

      

  

  This next one is either my favorite or reallllly close to it, I just love it! 

    

  Noah and Ariel ~ Congratulations!! We are so excited for you two and we look forward to seeing what the future has in store for you! Much love, Heather & Murl 

On Saturday we had the privilege of photographing Merry and Scott’s wedding at Peek’n Peak in Findley Lake, NY. Their ceremony was beautiful and their celebration was fantastic! For this post I’m focusing on the details from this wedding. They had so many great details that made their wedding unique and we wanted to showcase them here.

So we just got back from Kory and Carrie’s wedding in Lawrence Park. It was such a beautiful ceremony and luckily the weather turned out to be too! This was our first wedding of the season and we couldn’t wait to get out there and shoot! The ceremony was at the Lawrence Park United Methodist Church and their reception was at the Lawrence Park Golf Club. In between we hopped on the trolley and went down to the Bayfront for some photos. I’ll share a little bit more about their wedding in my next post — here are some images!

Carrie and Kory — Congratulations! You guys are such a fantastic couple and I’m sure you will have a wonderful life together!! Thanks for letting us capture your special day! <3 Heather & Murl

We wrapped up the 2007 wedding season this past Saturday with a hometown wedding here in North East. Rachael and Paddy are such a fabulous couple, and their wedding day matched their personalities.

This was our biggest wedding to date with a total of 28 people in the wedding party! We were lucky to have such a great group of people to work with, everyone was so friendly and cooperative.

On Saturday we had the pleasure of photographing a fantastic couple in a beautiful church ( First Presbyterian Church of the Covenant, in Erie ), and at an amazing reception ( the Ambassador at the Courtyard by Marriott ) with over a hundred loved ones celebrating Allison and Danny on their special day. It was awesome! We knew it was going to be a good time after photographing their engagement session and seeing what a fun and loving couple they are. Enjoy the sneak peek of images and look for the full set online in the next few weeks.

On Saturday we had the privilege of photographing Jessi and Freddy’s wedding. They had a beautiful ceremony at Our Lady of the Lake in Edinboro, PA and the reception was at Nick’s Place, also in Edinboro. We couldn’t have asked for better settings; both the church and Nick’s Place were lovely. We’d like to thank both the Munch and Catherman families for being so friendly and allowing us to be a part of your celebration. Now, a sneak peek of images –

Warm wishes on a wonderful life together!

I ran out of time before my trip so I’m posting this a bit late. This was from John and Patti’s wedding on July 28th. They got married at the Sunset Inn on Lake Erie. It was a very pretty setting on a very hot day. Here’s a preview of their images:

A close up of the rings and her beautiful bouquet.

The newlywed’s first dance.

Thanks for allowing us to be part of your special day! It was a beautiful ceremony and you all looked so great!

Last Friday Darcie & Matt renewed their vows on their tenth anniversary. It was such an honor to be there for such a special day for them. The ceremony was beautiful and the love between them was very evident. It was very reaffirming to see such a strong bond after ten years of marriage. With so many marriages ending in divorce anymore it was just a very sweet evening all around! Okay enough typing, on with the pictures…

The ceremony and reception was held at Heritage Winery right here in North East. It was a beautiful location and the weather was perfect!

Here they are with their children and a very cute “Just Married…Again” sign:

Darcie and Matt - Thank you for allowing us to be part of such a very special day. Wishing you many, many more anniversaries!
