Isabella-Holy Communion

It had stormed earlier in the day, so we were not sure if we would be able to get any outside photographs. Lucky for us, the rain held out for a little while and we were able to some beautiful portraits of Isabella at the park. As we drove back to our house, we were treated to an amazing rainbow! We finished up the session in the studio and even got in a shot with Isabella's American Girl doll. Thank you Isabella for being such a good model.

Stephanie & Mikey-Holy Communion

The last time we photographed Mikey and Stephanie, Mikey was much younger and would not cooperate. We tried everything you can think of to persuade a toddler to be somewhat happy. Finally, we handed him our studio umbrella and were able to get this portrait. 

As you can see, it has been a while since we last photographed the two kids. Since we were going to photograph Mikey's Holy Communion, it gave us an opportunity to get a couple of quick pic's of the two of them. It is really great to see two siblings clowning around with one another. As photographers, we love these kind of fun portraits!

We do not want to leave out how dapper Mikey looked in his suit.

Ava Grace-Holy Communion

Some images of Ava Grace in her Holy Communion Gown. We also were able to take a photograph with her American Girl Doll.

 

Tom & Leyna

As we arrived, we were greeted by a horse on a farm across from their house. The horse came right up to the fence as we got out of our car. Sorry Mr Ed (or Mrs Ed)... we don't have any treats for you today. Leyna was sporting her "soon to be Mrs" shirt and was eager to get things rolling. After photographing the dress and details, Leyna slipped into her dress and we were ready to do her portraits. Leyna looked amazing, and was a perfect model for us. We finished up with some family and bridesmaids pic's.... and then off to the Merion. 

A few quick photo's of Tom, his family, and the Groomsmen, we were ready for their "first look". It was very dramatic as Leyna made her way toward Tom down The Merion's long staircase. Words cannot describe this moment as the two of them glanced and then embraced each other. A few formals and then it was time to get married. 

The Ceremony was held in the Merion ceremony room. The lights dialed down low added to the ambiance. Immediately following the ceremony was the cocktail hour. Now the Merion knows how to put together a cocktail hour! What a spread! 

Following the announcements, the Merion's staff greeted the newlyweds with sparklers and roses. During the reception, Frank of Center Stage Entertainment, had the party rocking all evening long. 

We would also like to recognize all the vendors involved in making this a memorable event.
