The story behind the pictures

On the 1st of December we had the honor of being the photographer’s for Courtney & James’s Wedding at The Shawnee Inn on the Delaware, (https://www.shawneeinn.com). This was the 2nd Wedding of our weekend and once again we had not met our couple prior to the date, but again they had come to us via The Knot based on our on-line portfolio, reviews and subsequent conversations. Meeting Courtney for the first time was really like we had already met. She, the girls and the 7 flo ......

That little statement popped up a number on time during the very awesome Wedding of Nicole & Will at the Historic Hotel Bethlehem, (www.hotelbethlehem.com) a few weekends ago. Nicole came to us via The Knot, based on our Portfolio, Reviews and subsequent conversations, but we didn’t get to actually meet until the day of the Weddings, as the Bride & Groom both live out of state. Nicole and her attendants, (all cousins) were gorgeous and just so nice to work with and then there were ......

This past weekend Linda and I photographed three Weddings, which is not the norm for us on a weekend, two yes, but not often three. We had booked our first one as a result of the follow up list from a Hotel Bethlehem Bridal Event, (that was Friday – one). We then booked our next one vis the Knot, (that was Sunday’s – two), then at last Winter’s Hotel Bethlehem Bridal Event, number three came along – Jillian & Kosta. They were so much fun to talk with and there was an ......

So whenever we are part of a Bridal Event, like at the Historic Hotel Bethlehem, there is always the possibility that our booth may be crowded with so many new couples that we miss talking with others who may not have the time to wait around for us – such was the case with Sue & Jim. So one of the things I’ve learned over the years is to reach out to all the couples on the venues signup sheet, that we didn’t talk to and do a onetime email, letting them know if they do still need Wedd ......

So on January 14th of this year, while at The Historical Hotel Bethlehem’s, (www.hotelbethlehem.com), Winter Wonderland Bridal Show, I met Jessica Wieand, her sister and daughter. Jessica asked if we had March 9th of this year open and although we already had two other Weddings scheduled for this March, that date was open.The very next day we were able to meet with both Jessica & Bryan. After our meeting we all seemed to be on the same page and we confirmed our services for the day.As the Wedd ......

So the song goes and wat Bill told Michelle to pray for when he suggested the day and snow we got – not an awful snow but just enough to make the day challenging!Michelle Tejeda and William Bedics were married in St. Anne’s Catholic Church this past Saturday.We started our coverage at the couples residence, then off to church; J&J Transportation Company provided the “Party Bus” to get the Wedding Party around town, (www.jjtransportation.com).

This past weekend we were able to photograph the Wedding Reception of Shenel & Andrew Heisler, who were married over a year ago.Andrew is an officer in the US Navy and Shenel a Medical Student, so based on Naval deployments and Medical School demands, they were not able to have a full blown Wedding Reception, which definitely happened at The Bank Street Annex, (www.bankstreetannex.com) last Saturday night.We had planned on taking some time before the guests arrived at the reception to go up to L ......

Recently, we had to switch the coverage of a Wedding to two of our Staff members at the last minute, as regrettable as that may sound it was unavoidable and before I tell the rest of the story the comment from Jenna our Bride tells it all – “Lance, your staff did an amazing job”. We met Jenna & Matt, now Mr. & Mrs. Steltzer, at The Hanover Grande Ballroom Bridal Event and booked their Wedding almost a year in advance.For the actual day, Shawnna & Kim did the photography and picture story o ......

That might seem like a strange title for a Wedding Blog, but many of you know I am a US Marine and very proud of that fact but hold every US Military Person in the highest esteem, but it doesn’t mean I won’t give them a little bit of a hard time. This past Saturday’s Wedding of Jennifer Harrison to Shelby Lebron was picture perfect in all ways. The couple prepared at Weyhill Guest House, Saucon Valley Country Club and had their ceremony and reception there as well.We arrived to an ov ......

The past week to ten days have been basically overcast and grey, with everything from showers to heavy rain – all of which were promised for this past Sunday, the day of Tanya & Erik’s Wedding. Well the weather God’s were good to us that day; no rain, slight overcast, (great for photography) and in the mid-60’s. In October of 2015 we had photographed the Wedding of Erik’s sister, Tara & DJ, and were now fortunate enough to photograph theirs. The couple did a 1 ......

This past Sunday morning we found ourselves at the beautiful Riverview Country Club, (www.riverviewcountryclub.com) for the Wedding and Brunch Reception of Megan Yost & James (JR) Rauen. It was a pretty chilly morning with the sun trying to break through the overcast sky, both of which make for great outdoor photos, all thought I'm not sure the Bridal attendants would agree? One of Megan's co-workers, who's Wedding we had photographed a few years ago, had recommended us for the j ......

This past Saturday we had the honor to photograph the Wedding of Ashley Regan to Michael Stampone. Our day started at the Historic Hotel Bethlehem, (www.hotelbethlehem.com) where the Bride & Bridesmaids were getting ready. The Brides gown was stunning in its detail and a perfect choice for her. The couples' flowers were designed by Pondeleks Florist, (www.pondeleksflorist.com) and were truly stunning creations for both the Bridal Party and for the couples' reception in the Mural Ballro ......

As I reviewed the images from Liz & Justin's Wedding a song title “A whiter Shade of Pale” by the group the Procol Harum came to mind – not for the words of the song but just the title. Liz's dress was just beautiful lace and her Bride's Maids in various pale shares of color. Justin and his groomsmen were in a pale grey and the day was a grey overcast (a wedding photographers delight). The couple shared their vows at Bethany Church in Wescosville PA. The couple's flowers were created b ......

Yesterday we had the honor to photograph the Wedding of Linda Nguyen and Alex Maggitti on a not so perfect weather day. It was really great to be part of another Maggitti celebration as we had photographed Alex's sister's Natalie & Stephanie's Weddings a number of years ago and some family portraits for his grandparents 60th Wedding Anniversary a few years back. The couple prepared at the Villanova Conference Center and Montrose Mansion before going to St. Colemans RC Church where the bride' ......
