My first wedding of 2009!!
Mel and Pat have many ties to Lancaster County but they live in DC. As they planed their wedding day there were a few things they desired. Pat is a graduate of F&M, so it was an easy decision to choose F&M's Nevin Chapel for the ceremony site. Next, they had a number of out of town guest, so they wanted a great hotel, Lancaster's Arts Hotel was a perfect choice. As they looked for a reception site they desired an elegant reception place with a little bit of home mixed in...Mel and Pat both grew up in the farmland of Lancaster County. So, Riverdale was the perfect fit for a beautiful ballroom with a touch of home in the olde farm house. Stacia from Petal and Beans designed the flowers. Loni and the crew from Luxe hair salon provided hair and make-up. (It was fun to just walk next door to capture a few prep images of Mel and the girls) Derek from Lavon Films documented the day through video. Char from Events by Char coordinated (She was amazing helping me work with the over 45-family members!!) DJ Freez finished the evening with great music and always a little smooth style.
Mel and Pat wanted to see each other before the ceremony and work with their over 45-family members for family pictures. Some of my most favorite pictures of the day were captured of Mel and Pat seeing each other on the F&M campus. It was incredible to see Pat's expression when he saw Mel for the first time and to see Mel react to Pat. I hope everyone enjoys the images and I look forward to blogging more soon!!
