Tina & David 05.02.09

It's been a while since I've posted- shame on me!! Life has kept me busy between working and weddings and everything in between. So I'm taking the opportunity of a long, lazy Sunday to catch up. First up is Christina and David.

Ceremony: Blessed Sacrament Erie, PA
Reception: Peek'n Peak Resort Findley Lake, NY

Of course, the details! I absolutely love detail shots and many of Eric's flower, cake, and accessory shots are courtesy of yours truly (:

The Dress:

The bride's beautiful flowers:





And of course, the shoes!! First Tina's then some of the bridesmaid's:





The beautiful bride:



The groom's not too shabby either:



The gals on the way into the church:



Tina was so excited waiting to walk down the aisle. I caught this shot of her waiting in a back room- her hands were actually shaking! I love being able to capture moments like this...



And simple moments like this...







Wow, everyone actually got off the ground at the same time!! Impressive!





The guys:





The best part of the wedding: cake and presents!!!:





Oh, I guess there's the first dance too that's pretty important:





And last but not least:



Until next time! (:

Sara & Mitch Brennan 04.18.09

Here are some photos from Sara and Mitch's fabulous wedding. We were absolutely privileged that they chose EJS wedding to photograph their day. Not only were they a beautiful couple, they had awesome personalities and their friends and families were so fun and welcoming. The photos definitely speak a thousand words and I can't think of a better way to kick off the wedding season.

Church: St. Patrick's Erie, PA
Reception: Ambassador Hotel Erie, PA


Sara's shoes which actually looked rather comfortable!







The beautiful bride reading a letter from Mitch:



As you'll see from the next few photos, it was quite emotional! She had one of the girls read the letter out loud and tears were flowing! I even got teary-eyed.



If you look close, I actually caught a tear falling on Mitch's sister's cheek!









One of my favorites:





Love silhouettes!



Some sweet detail shots:













It was a little windy outside during the receiving line, but it made for cute candids (:



We try to make formals sexy (;



On the way to location number one:






A whole bunch of sassiness!



Location number 2:



Eric always has me photograph the guys for some reason, but I always manage to make them look pretty bad ass:



How stunning is Sara?!



Cake details:





I absolutely LOVE how happy couples are during their first dance together. There is something so timeless and intimate about their expressions. I often wonder what they're chatting about to each other during it. Sara and Mitch are definitely head over heels for each other...



And last but not least, their kiss after cutting the cake. You can see Eric in the photo too (;



Until next time!
Katie (:
