August Wedding at Whispering Trees Manor

August Wedding at Whispering Trees Manor

Large Joyful Summer Wedding

Tyler & Kelsey’s ‘Can Do’ spirit was very present on their wedding day. Despite the frustration and limitations of 2020, this couple did not let hiccups get in the way. The couple chose an outdoor wedding location in Edinboro, Pa. This Wedding at Whispering Trees Manor was undaunted by the disappointments many were facing. Our Photography team worked alongside the couples Wedding Planner, Eve Frank from our own Erie Wedding & Event Services to capture the love story and details. A large bridal party consisting of 11 of their closest family & friends and a lively guest count of 175 made the day exciting and energetic!

Finally Saying Their Vows

Kelsey told us a little bit about their love story and what it took to get to where they are. Tyler & Kelsey had been together for 7 years before getting married and both of them joked about FINALLY tying the knot. The light-hearted joking was one of the highlights of their wedding day. One of the most important things to Kelsey was honoring her parent’s by recreating a photo taken on her parents wedding day. Our team made sure to capture that image.

What We Did

For this Wedding at Whispering Trees Manor we worked closely with Erie Wedding & Event Services Planner, Eve Frank to form a pose list and follow the timeline for the day. We began by capturing Getting Ready photos with the Bride & her girls who got ready in the upstairs suite in the farm house. The guys got ready downstairs. We took advantage of how quickly the groom and groomsmen got ready and got some fun posed shots on the other side of the property. Once Kelsey was fully dressed we did a quick first look with her dad in the apple orchard on the property. There were no dry eyes. 

The love filled ceremony went off without a hitch. A close family friend officiated the wedding. Kelsey’s proud dad walked her down the aisle and the adorable flower girl tried to steal the show at the back of the ceremony. 

While our team captured the couples formal photos a lively cocktail hour began under the covered pavilion decorated to the hilt with rich cranberry red. Our team stayed to document the Grand Entrance, sweet cake cutting, hilarious toasts and speeches and finally the romantic first dance. The day was chocked full of excitement and we loved every moment of this wedding at Whispering Trees Manor.

That’s Not the End

While Kelsey & Tyler’s wedding day wrapped up nicely, we weren’t done yet. Because the couple didn’t need Engagement Photos, they opted instead for our unique Newlywed Session. About a week after their wedding day we met up on private property at sunset to capture some intimate photos of the two of them alone. This special time allows our couples to focus on each other away from the hustle and bustle of their wedding day. We had an amazing time meeting up with Tyler & Kelsey to finish off their Wedding Collection with these rare images.

Fall Wedding at Pymatuning Reservoir

No Fuss Fall Wedding

Trevor & Ashley are what you call a ‘No Fuss’ couple. They are laid back and really appreciate the little things in life. Being outdoor enthusiasts holding their wedding at Pymatuning Reservoir was a no-brainer. The couple has sentimental ties to the area.

An Easy Going Wedding Plan

When Ashely first contacted us she made it clear that her & Trevor were down to earth people. They love nature, anything outdoors, each other, and their children. They decided to host their wedding at Pymatuning Reservoir because the family participates in so many recreational activities in the area. Saying their vows in a location that means so much to their family made sense.

Captured Moments

Because Trevor & Ashley were hosting such a laid back wedding day they opted for our Sweetheart Collection which is perfect for small weddings. Our team began with the ceremony, captured formal photos, and stayed through for cake cutting. Ashley & Trevor hosted a very informal reception nearby at a picnic pavilion. Ashley chose navy and sunflower yellow for their wedding colors. She carried a sunflower bouquet and their 2-tiered wedding cake was decked out with sunflowers and a navy ribbon.

Surrounded by Love

Although, 2020 proved to be a challenging year for couples, Trevor & Ashley were still able to hold their dream wedding at Pymatuning Reservoir. We were honored to capture this chapter in their love story. We wish the newlyweds and their children much happiness and lots of outdoor adventure!

Sunflower Wedding at Riverside Golf Club

Sunflower Wedding at Riverside Golf Club

Sunflower Wedding at Riverside Golf Club

Like many other couples in 2020, Tyler & Kendra were left facing some tough decisions. While many couples decided to postpone their weddings, many chose to ‘split the difference’. Tyler & Kendra were one of our couples who held a smaller Wedding at Riverside Golf Club with a larger festive reception the following year. Kendra chose sunflowers for her bouquet and cake decor. Little sunflower cupcakes were adorable. Because the marriage was blending two families, their children participated in the wedding. Kendra’s two daughers wore navy blue. Tyler’s little girl was too cute.

The Details

Tyler & Kendra knew they’d have to scale back on their wedding at Riverside Golf Club. But they were so in love they were willing to make the sacrafice to get married when they orginally planned. Although, the couple had reserved our team Erie DJ Entertainment as well as the Photography, it was soon realized that they would not be able to use the DJ service for the small event. We were flexible with them and rewrote their contract allowing them to redeem a larger photo amount than originally agreed upon so they wouldn’t lose their deposit. 

The team captured some getting ready, ceremony, formal photos and stayed long enough for cake cutting and first dances.

Family Moments

Everything about Tyler & Kendra’s Wedding at Riverside Golf Club was centered around family. You could see the tenderness between the couple, their kids and their parents. Set up inside the ceremony room was a table dedicated to family who were with them in spirit.

Undaunted by Challenges

Indeed, 2020 and all it’s restrictions proved challenging for people everywhere. It was refreshing, however, to see a couple who’s love was strong enough to carry them through these difficulties. We’re thankful and inspired by Tyler & Kendra’s resolve to hold a Covid Wedding during these trials. Thank you for remaining undaunted by the challenges and sharing those beautiful, intimate moments with our team. Congratulations. We know that you will successfully overcome many challenges together with strenght and resolve.

Winter Engagement Photos Guide

Winter Engagement Photos Guide

The Winter Engagement Photos

When most people think of engagement photos, they think of sunny days with bright colors, fields of flowers, and happy couples beaming with joy. While those photos can still be taken during the winter months, the colder weather offers its own unique set of possibilities. If you’re planning to take your engagement photos during the winter, here are a few tips to help make the most of it.

Where to Take Winter Engagement Photos

When you think about winter engagement photos, what comes to mind? Maybe visions of a cozy cabin nestled in a snowy forest, or a romantic horse-drawn sleigh ride through a wintry wonderland. If you’re looking to take your winter engagement photos to the next level, consider one of these ideas!

The very first place that comes to my mind for winter engagement photos is Peek’n Peak Resort. This is an obvious choice because it’s a popular ski lodge with lots of fun winter activities to check out. We’ve found the snow covered (and unused) golf course is a fantastic place to take some snuggled up photos. 

Another great option is your Wedding Venue! You heard me right. We met up with one couple during a blizzard in February on the grounds of their venue, Mound Grove, to capture winter engagement photos for their fall wedding. Side note: Get permission from the venue for this. 

If you need a little more inspiration you can check out our blog on Where to Take Engagement Photos.

Props & Activities for Winter Engagement Photos

As we mentioned Peek’n Peak before you may already know where we’re heading with this. Planning ahead with your photographer, get to some winter activities! If you’re a skier, get on some skis and head down the slopes together. It’s a winter engagement photos session…no wait…it’s a fun date! If you’re not much of a skier you could build a snow man, make snow angels, or head inside for a cup of piping hot cocoa. Maybe warm up in front of a blazing fire for some romantic photos for your collection. 

One of our favorite winter engagement photo sessions was for one of our own photographers. We met at Peek’n Peak while it was decorated for Christmas and he serenaded her on the piano. Afterwards, we took a walk across the golf course near the pond. It was a very fun day.

Winter Engagement Picture Outfits.

It really should go without saying that if you’re taking photos in Erie…in the winter…that you know better to dress warm. A winter coat, a cute hat, mittens, and a scarf are appropriate. We just did a winter wedding out in the snow and while the bride took her coat off for the photos she was smartly wearing big winter boots under her gown. No one could tell because the snow hid them. 

For ladies make sure your makeup is crisp and clean and choose a hairstyle that won’t get ruinied by a hat or the snow. You may want to stay away from white or neutrals if you’re taking outdoor photos so you don’t blend into the snow. I mean, unless you want to pretend you’re an arctic bunny. 

Gentleman, keep the same things in mind. Choose to style your hair in a way that you won’t be upset by hats or snow and stay away from whites and light nuetral colors. This is the perfect time of year to break out those rich, vivid colors!

Use the Warmth of Golden Hour

Images are given a glow when taken during the golden hour, the hour just before sunset. It also instantly warms up the colors reflected on the snow. It’s hard to take warm photos in the winter scenery because everything is crisp and white with blue skies, but that brief time of day when the suns golden rays bounce across the landscape are just so magical. 

If you need inspiration for your winter engagement photos you can check out some of our favorites on our Erie Photography Pinterest account. And while you’re at it…follow us. We share other fun tips for your photo sessions. Get inspired!

Sum It Up

In conclusion, taking engagement photos during the winter can be a fun and unique experience. By following these tips, you can make sure that your photos turn out great. So get outside and enjoy the snow while capturing some beautiful memories!

September Wedding at Stephany’s Catering

September Wedding at Stephany’s Catering

Outdoor Fall Wedding

When Tommy & Shannon’s plans changed in late 2020 due to Covid travel restrictions, this couple adapted and overcame. In just a few short months they were able to plan their joyous outdoor wedding at Stephany’s Catering in Erie, Pa. The couple had originally planned a destination style wedding out of state. But, with the help of Shannon’s family they were able to find a new venue close to home and a crew of wedding professionals to make their wedding day a success!

Wedding at Stephany's Catering

What We Did

Our team was honored to be chosen for Disc Jockey, Coordination, Photography & Videography for Tommy & Shannon’s Wedding at Stephany’s Catering. We began the day with Getting Ready photos for the groom at the couples home and the bride at The Victorian Inn in downtown Erie, Pa. The outdoor ceremony followed at Stephany’s Catering on Wyoming Avenue. Stephany’s is a unique venue that has both indoor/outdoor options for ceremony & reception. As the name implies, they provide their own catering service.

Our own Erie DJ Entertainment team provided sound and music for both ceremony & reception. Also, as I previously mentioned we worked alongside our Erie Videography team while they captured the magic on film. You can view a short highlight reel of their wedding day below. The most memorable moment of the day for me was the look on Tommy’s face as he watched Shannon walk down the aisle. He could barely contain himself.

Taking Advantage of Alone Time

Because the entire Wedding at Stephany’s Catering was in one location we were having just a bit of trouble getting photos of the newlyweds alone. The bride & groom’s best friends came up with the genius idea to take off alone for a few hours. We drove a few minutes away to Frontier Park and spent some time as the sun was beginning to slip away capturing some much needed newlywed photos. It was the perfect ending to a sweet day.
