Erin and Jeremy – Toftrees Wedding Photography
We were very happy when Erin and Jeremy asked us to photograph their wedding! We photographed Erin’s sister’s wedding in 2008, so it was nice to see so many familiar faces. They were married at Toftrees Resort on the croquet lawn and their reception was held in Le Papillon. It was a bit chilly that day, but the weather held and they were able to have the ceremony outside like they had been hoping (they actually live in Minnesota, so a little chill in the air is nothing to them!). After dinner, we were able to snag the newlyweds for a few photos of just the two of them before they headed back into the reception for an evening of fun and laughter with good friends and family. We’re glad we could be a part of it!
Congratulations Erin and Jeremy!

Kristen and Josh – Harrisburg Wedding Photography
It’s always good to have a change of scenery once in awhile… We first met Kristen when she was in a wedding we photographed in 2009, so we were thrilled when Kristen and Josh contacted us to see if we could photograph their wedding in Harrisburg. Of course we said yes immediately! It was a bit cool that day, but after a beautiful ceremony at the United Church of God, we headed to the Capitol for some photos. When we got there, we found that the fountain was pink (in honor of breast cancer awareness) – and it matched the bridesmaids’ pink sashes on their dresses! We got some nice shots there and then it was off to the Holiday Inn East for the reception, which included some great toasts (check out the photos below!), a little cake smashing, and lots of dancing. It was a wonderful day!
Congratulations Kristen and Josh!

Lauren and Josh – Lake Raystown Resort Wedding Photography
Lauren and Josh were married at First United Methodist Church in Huntingdon and their reception was held at Lake Raystown Resort. After a lovely ceremony, they were greeted by their guests and lots of bubbles outside the church before a long limo ride to the reception. We stopped off on the way at a scenic spot along the lake for some photos on the pier – it provides a beautiful reflection in the water and a wonderful mountain backdrop. Then it was off to Lake Raystown Resort for the reception. Both Lauren and Josh love the outdoors, so the tables featured some beautiful, rustic centerpieces. The night was full of dancing (Lauren is a dancer, so there was a lot of dancing!), but we managed to sneak the newlyweds out to the terrace for a few lovely end of the night photos – a wonderful way to end a great day!
Congratulations Lauren and Josh!

Lisa and Ken – Our Lady of Victory and Mt. Nittany Inn
We had a wonderful time with Lisa and Ken on their wedding day! We went our separate ways before the wedding – Vicky with Lisa at the Inn on the Sky (a beautiful bed and breakfast nestled in scenic Penns Valley), and Jim with Ken at Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church. After a beautiful ceremony, the newlyweds exited the church to bubbles and took a short trip to the Nittany Lion Shrine and Old Main for some photos before heading to the Mt. Nittany Inn for a small, relaxing reception of close friends and family. The floral design was by Avant Garden and the delicious cake was made by Delectable Delights. There were even special cookies made by Ken and Lisa – Ken and his mom used to make them, and now Ken and Lisa make them together. It was a great day and we are thankful to have been able to share it with so many wonderful people – it was like we were part of the family!
Thanks for having us and congratulations Lisa and Ken!

Amanda and Kyle – Penn State Wedding Photography
We first met Amanda and Kyle at Amanda’s sister’s wedding in June of 2010. We were very excited when they asked us to be their photographers, too! We enjoy photographing weddings for siblings, especially because we already know many of the family members and guests at the wedding 
We met Amanda and Kyle at the Nittany Lion Inn for some getting ready photos before the ceremony at the Pasquerilla Spiritual Center on the Penn State campus. After an exit to ringing bells, we were off on a campus tour to the Nittany Lion Shrine, Hintz Alumni Center, and Old Main. Then it was off to the reception at the Nittany Lion Inn, which was beautifully decorated by Woodrings Floral Gardens. It was a great reception, highlighted by a custom made “duck hunter” cake and a very interesting take on the garter removal (you’ll have to check out the video slideshow!).
Congratulations Amanda and Kyle!

Jessica and Tom – Toftrees Wedding Photography
Jessica and Tom were married at Toftrees Resort on a beautiful (rain-free!) day. Since we were doing formal photos and a quick campus tour before the ceremony, we arranged a “first look” for just the two of them – although they did have some spectators peeking out the windows . After Jessica and Tom spent a few wonderful moments together, we were off to Beaver Stadium for some shots on the field! We finished up at Hintz Alumni Center before heading back to Toftrees for the formals and the ceremony on the croquet lawn. The newlyweds were able to enjoy their cocktail hour and we were able to get photos of Le Papillon before the reception began. It was beautifully decorated by Avant Garden, the delicious (and beautiful!) cake was made by Delectable Delights, and the music was provided by Local Motion Entertainment.
Congratulations Jessica and Tom – we had a great time with you and your family and friends!

Danielle and Tim’s Wedding at St. John’s and Toftrees Resort
We’ve known Danielle and Tim for a little while now – we photographed Tim’s sister’s wedding and he and Danielle were both in the wedding party. It’s always fun to see so many familiar faces at a wedding! After the ceremony at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Bellefonte, we headed to Talleyrand Park for some wedding party and newlywed photos – Danielle chose to go barefoot for a while and it made for some fun shots and video. Then it was off to the reception at Toftrees Resort, which was beautifully decorated by Woodrings Floral Gardens. DJ Eric Stoner of Nittany Entertainment kept Tim and everyone else on the dance floor all night!
Congratulations Danielle and Tim!

Deanne and Joel’s wedding at the Arboretum at Penn State
Among other things, butterflies symbolize new beginnings – a perfect symbol for a marriage – and there were butterflies everywhere for Deanne and Joel’s wedding at the Arboretum at Penn State. After a beautiful ceremony, the newlyweds and their families and friends released monarch butterflies to celebrate the occasion. A few even landed on the bouquets so we could get a close-up look – they seem to have enjoyed the flowers from Daniel Vaughn Designs as much as we did! Then the couple and their wedding party hopped into a few classic cars and headed off to Hintz Alumni Center for more photos before the reception at the Ramada Conference Center. The room was beautifully decorated by Daniel Vaughn Designs and the cake from Delectable Delights by Heather Luse was amazing (as usual!)… and it had butterflies on it, too!
Congratulations Deanne and Joel!

Megan and Jamie’s Wedding at the Pasquerilla Spiritual Center and Days Inn
We had an amazing day with Megan and Jamie! After their ceremony at the Pasquerilla Spiritual Center we set out on a little campus tour. Our first stop was the Nittany Lion Shrine, followed by Old Main. The animated wedding party and the bright colors they chose made for some vibrant photos! We loved Megan’s blue heels and Jamie’s colored vest, and the beautiful flowers from Woodrings Floral Gardens. After a few shots at Beaver Stadium we were off to the reception at the Days Inn, with DJ Eric Stoner from Nittany Entertainment keeping the night running smoothly and the dance floor hopping. Instead of a large wedding cake, the newlyweds cut their own smaller cake topped with miniature Nittany Lion bride and groom and the guest were treated to a variety of tasty cupcakes from ndulge cupcake boutique. The bridal dance ended with everyone surrounding Megan and Jamie working hard to break through to get to her – we’re glad he finally got in there We were fortunate to be able to capture some video of him sweeping her away (by holding the cameras way up over our heads!) and it made for a great end to the slideshow!
Congratulations Megan and Jamie – thanks for having us!

Janet and Adam’s Wedding at St. Paul’s and Celebration Hall
Janet and Adam were married at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church. After a wonderful ceremony officiated by Reverend Eric Shafer, the newlyweds exited to bubbles and a short drive down College Avenue (which made for some great photo ops!). Then we headed on to campus for some shots at the Nittany Lion Shrine and the Hintz Alumni Center. We arrived at the reception at Celebration Hall with time to take a few fun photos outside before the new couple was announced into the reception by DJ Jeff Helffrich. The floral design was by Woodrings Floral Gardens and the cake was from For Heaven Cakes by Tracey Coleman. It was a fun night, with a conga line, limbo, and some great couples dancing down the line!
As a special treat, Janet’s uncle wrote a song for the montage slideshow we put together of favorite wedding day images and video segments. Check it out below!
Congratulations Janet and Adam and thanks for having us as your photographers!

Kristen and Jason’s Wedding at the Pasquerilla Spiritual Center and Nittany Lion Inn
Kristen and Jason were married at the Pasquerilla Spiritual Center on the Penn State campus with the reception held at the Nittany Lion Inn. We went our separate ways to start the day – Vicky with Kristen and the girls and Jim with Jason and the guys. We met up at the Hintz Alumni Center for a “first look” and some pre-wedding photos of the bride and groom and the wedding party (of course, we also headed over to the Nittany Lion Shrine!). Then it was off to the ceremony at Pasquerilla Spiritual Center, officiated by Jeremiah Kingshipp. The reception at the Nittany Lion Inn was exquisitely decorated by Daniel Vaughn Designs, both inside and outside the ballroom, and The Impact Band kept the dance floor jumping well into the night!
Congratulations Kristen and Jason!

Becky and Matt’s Wedding at Toftrees Resort
We had a great time at Becky and Matt’s wedding at Toftrees Resort! They were married on the croquet lawn and the reception was held in Le Papillon. After a beautiful late afternoon ceremony, we took a whirlwind tour of the Lion Shrine, Old Main, and Beaver Stadium, before heading back to the reception at Le Papillon. They had a beautiful floral design from Daniel Vaughn Designs and an amazing cake from Delectable Delights by Heather Luse. Nittany Entertainment kept the dance floor full all night and we even had an opportunity to get some beautiful photos by the pond at dusk. A great way to end the day!
Congratulations Becky and Matt – thanks for having us as your photographers! ~Vicky and Jim
Amber and Ryan – State College Wedding Photographer
We had a great time at Amber and Ryan’s wedding! They are the third couple out of a group of friend’s weddings that we’ve had the pleasure of photographing, so we were very excited to see so many familiar faces! Amber and Ryan were married at St. Paul Lutheran Church and the reception was held at The Penn Stater. After a beautiful ceremony, we headed to campus for some fun wedding party shots. Both the bride and groom are Penn Staters, so of course we had to get some photos with the Nittany Lion and a few with the JoePa statue and the entrance sign at the stadium! Then it was off to the Penn Stater for a great reception full of fun friends and dancing (and umbrellas!). We even snuck the newlyweds out for a few romantic shots by the fountain at dusk
Congratulations Amber and Ryan – thanks for having us as your photographers! ~Vicky and Jim
Joy and Greg’s Wedding at the Arboretum at Penn State
Joy and Greg held their wedding and reception at the Arboretum at Penn State. They had a wonderful “first look” at Hintz Alumni Center and took a short campus tour to Old Main and the Nittany Lion Shrine before heading to the Arboretum. Joy and Greg chose to participate in a self-uniting marriage ceremony which was officiated by Penn State President, Graham Spanier (they asked him and he said yes!). Then it was off to the reception, with music from Eric Stoner of Nittany Entertainment, and Christine Hart of Events By Hart keeping things running smoothly. The cake was provided by Cakes for Occasions by Kim Morrison and the floral design was by Woodrings Foral Gardens. Everything was decorated beautifully, with many details designed by Joy and Greg themselves. There was lots of dancing going on, but we were able to take a few minutes away from the reception to get some shots with the beautiful sunset – a great way to end the day!
Congratulations Joy and Greg!

Kelly and Brad – Lake Raystown Resort Wedding Photography
Kelly and Brad were married at Lake Raystown Resort. We split up and found Kelly in the villas and Brad in the lodge for getting ready photos. After a beautiful ceremony under a tent near the marina, we took a walk on the boat docks for a few fun wedding party photos and some romantic shots of the newlyweds. Then it was off to the ballroom in the Conference Center for the reception. It was the first time using our new photo booth, and the guests really seemed to enjoy it! (thanks Kelly and Brad for the props!) We did manage to pull Kelly and Brad away from all the fun for a few good night shots on the patio – the party was still going strong when we made our exit!
Congratulations Kelly and Brad – we wish you all the best!!
