Wedding photos – Ruth & Don – part 3

After the bridal walk, we took a short drive from Hershey to Middletown, PA. On this occasion, the reception was held at Karen’s Harmony Hall, a beautiful venue to hold these private parties. They have a large completely open space with white ceilings which are perfect for wedding photos.

Reception Venue

These remind me of the large reception tents that wedding receptions typically have if the parties are held outside. This is nevertheless an important detail that makes it easier for the photographer. Without any tinting to the color of the walls or ceiling, there is no drastic color change from flashes to interfere tint the color of your photos. In the photo above, you can see the large hall with plenty of space for moving, dancing, and buffet setup without anyone being crowded for space. On either end of the reception hall were two large windows to let in lots of natural light and beautiful sunsets in the evening.

The music and MC duties at this time were done by Ryan Miller. He was very professional and kept the party right on schedule. No part of the evening was rushed, and he made sure to handle all requests, and announcements. Along with the music, he also used a snow machine to go along with the winter wedding theme. The machine added an especially beautiful element to the special dances surrounding the party with snowflakes!

Holy Trinity 10th Anniversary Gala

In late June, I had the opportunity to photograph a beautiful gala celebration for the 10th Anniversary of the start of Holy Trinity Parish in Gainesville, VA. There was a great crowd there to celebrate the challenging work done over the last decade. Afterwards it led to the creation of a large and active church community with an amazing building for Sunday Masses. Some of those attending were Anne and Ronald Dixon from Dixon Studio. They are the incredible artists whose award-winning work is on display at the parish. They created many of the windows, objects, and other details built into the church building, some of which I photographed for them here.

The evening’s main event was a musical performance by Julie Murphy Wells, the lead vocalist of Eddie From Ohio. She sang her favorite selections of standards and Broadway songs with her band in Merchant Hall of the Hylton Performing Arts Center in Manassas, VA. This space is the premiere place for holding musical, theatrical presentations for audiences in the area. I have enjoyed many performances of symphonies and other musical groups at area auditoriums, but Hylton is now a place to proudly display talented performers. I would like to come back to photograph or enjoy another performance before too long!

Don’t mess with a knife-juggling priest.

Leah & CJ – Newport News, VA Wedding photography

Leah and CJ had a beautiful late August wedding with family and friends gathering by the banks of the James River for a lovely wedding ceremony. CJ is a colleague from my former career as a lab technician. In the lab, you could always count on CJ to get things done correctly, on time, whenever you asked with the rest of the team following his lead. Because of that, I really wanted to get the best images for him and his bride after they decided to have me produce their wedding photography!

With the help of Jenn Kelley, I think we were able to capture some especially great wedding photography from beginning to end of Leah and CJ’s day. They had lots of time for pre-wedding portraits. During the ceremony, they had a little breeze. Finally, they had a full dance floor the rest of the night. Congratulations you two! I hope we get the chance to see you again – probably at a Redskins game or three 🙂 Enjoy your photos!

Wedding photography is a privilege whenever a couple selects you for the responsibility. For this reason, I work as hard as I can to get images that a wedding couple would enjoy looking at and sharing for years to come.
