Erie, PA wedding photographer | Heather’s Photography Blog

A couple of weeks ago we had a very busy Saturday, we had a booth at the Ambassador’s bridal show and also a wedding at Peek ‘n Peak with Cheryl and Larry. It was a great day and Cheryl and Larry are a wonderful couple to kick off our 2010 wedding season!

I’m glad to finally be able to share some of their images with you — I have had a couple of weeks of crazy technical difficulties! I’m still unable to use my regular computer but luckily received a laptop for Christmas!! The timing couldn’t have been more perfect. Anyway — on with the photographs!

This was the first time we have photographed a ceremony at the Inn at Peek’n Peak and it was great shooting there with the big bank of windows letting in so much light during the ceremony!

Murl and I had the pleasure of photographing Cindy and Kevin’s wedding ceremony and reception right here in North East over Labor Day weekend. They are such a fun couple as you can see in their engagement portraits. I don’t have a lot of time to type so I’m going to just jump straight into the pictures — I do want to mention that the beautiful flowers were by Four Season’s Flower Shop in Westfield, NY.

On Saturday June 27th we had the honor of photographing Paul and Jenn’s fabulous Peek’n Peak wedding. As soon as I heard their wedding colors were fuschia and lime green I knew this couple had style and would put together a gorgeous wedding. They did NOT disappoint! You will especially see that in the next blog post which will feature details from their big day.

This wedding was especially celebratory due to Paul’s recent health scare. He had open heart surgery in December and thankfully he now feels better than ever! Love is always present at weddings but this wedding just overflowed with love! They are an amazing couple and everyone just fed off their energy and it was just a beautiful day in every way! Also, they were my first Canadian couple and I’ve gotta say, they know how to have a good time! It made me realize I’ve never met a Canadian I didn’t like

Alright — on with the photographs!
