Before stating our current open dates I want to share with you someplace I recently stumbled across. I found a pamphlet for the most beautiful location for holding a wedding — The Buhl Mansion in Sharon, PA. Can I just say if you have your wedding at the Buhl Mansion can I please be your photographer?! Pretty please? It looks so insanely beautiful!

Okay on with open dates…

We have quite a few open dates from now through June and in November and December. As for the regular wedding season we have five dates open:

June 5th

July 3rd or 10th [ whichever fills up first will knock out both weekends on this one ]

September 11th and 18th

October 16th.

If any of these are your wedding date and you are still looking for a wedding photographer give us a call! Our packages start at $1,495.

Have a great weekend! | Heather

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!

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!
