Amy & Michael are an incredibly sweet couple who found me online.  They had a private wedding ceremony for just the two of them in Jamaica in May and then a celebration with their friends and family here in Harrisburg (they currently reside in Philly).  We hit it off immediately, especially after I found out that Michael was a former cross country runner at a rival high school.  Ha!  ;) 

They wanted their celebration to feel like "them" with an emphasis on a fun, casual, and relaxed environment.  Brian and I started with just the bride and groom before their guests arrived so they could enjoy greeting their guests.  I just love when couples opt to do this and that's two weddings in a row for us now!  It just gives the bride and groom some time to relax, not feel rushed, and of course I love concentrating on the relationship between them.  The rest of the day then can be about spending time with your guests with us just capturing candid moments.  What can I say besides it's just a different feel when you know you have the time for photographs and there aren't a 150 people waiting for you.  ;)

It was incredibly hot and humid on June 13th in the Burg!  We did manage to pop outside for a few moments before the rain arrived!  I love the sweet and quirky details that Michael and Amy chose. . .such as having Twinkies and Swiss Cake Rolls for dessert.   Thanks for including us in your special day A & M!

Just after it started pouring! Amy & her dad watching guests arrive. . .
