Erie, PA wedding photographer | Heather’s Photography Blog

Wow, I don’t know where to start; I was prepping images and there were soooo many fantastic ones from Amanda and Ryan’s wedding last Saturday. It seems each wedding we shoot is getting more and more fabulous and I didn’t know it was even possible! Amanda, Ryan and their families really assembled an all-star wedding team and everything went according to plan.

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!

Paul & Jenn — thank you so much for having us as your wedding photographers! We had so much fun capturing everything and also celebrating with you all. You guys are going to have a rockin’ long life together! Check back soon for detail shots from your wedding! <3 Heather & Murl

On Saturday I got to second shoot a wedding for the first time with Rachel Lusky of Puremotif Photography and Design. It was also my first time shooting a Girard wedding – the church was beautiful and really easy to shoot in even for a no flash allowed ceremony. It was such a great experience; I got to see how Rachel worked, I got to photograph from Murl’s usual view point, and I got to do the job I love with a friend I love!

It was a pretty cool opportunity for Joe and Priscilla to have two amazing photographers capture their wedding! They commented on how much fun we were to work with but *they* were fun to work with! I mean, who breaks out M-16s [ I think that is the right name! ] for their formal portraits!? It was great! This couple is so in love and so full of humor – as was the whole wedding party. Thanks to everyone for such a wonderful time!

I’m not going to post too many shots, I’ll leave that for Rachel – so stay tuned to the Pure Interest – Puremotif blog for her upcoming post! Here are a few shots I created at the wedding:

Congrats to Priscilla & Joe! I hope you have as much joy in your life as you did on your wedding day!

Rachel, I had so much fun shooting opposite you! I think we should tag team weddings more often
