Kristen & Dave

Kristen and Dave, again another one of those weddings where I was on pins and needles throughout the day. Hoping and praying the rain would hold off. Sure enough it did! Though there were a couple sprinkles here and there, everything went exactly as planned and we were able to photograph outside through it all! You guys were amazing, the details perfect and the friends incredible. I will always remember the time at your wedding, the way you guys stared into each others eyes so often and so lovingly! It was quite clear to all present that you were meant for each other. I hope that these images show that just as clearly as the day. Thank you for allowing Joe and I the privilege of capturing your wedding.

Sincerely, Daniel Mast

Jinny & Steve

Jinny and Steve's wedding was planned to perfection everything set and ready to rock - then it rained! The tent flooded and the entire reception had to be moved and everything reset and done from scratch. Did this phase this couple? Nope, not in the least. Both Jinny and Steve were the picture of calm and collected going with the flow like it was exactly as they had always planned it. It is a such a testament to their love for each other that they could lay aside all the well laid plans that they had taken so long to accomplish and start anew. Everything was perfect from the gorgeous ceremony to the reception that although not as originally planned still showed their love for each other and their persevering spirits! Jinny and Steve I hope that throughout the rest of your lives you always look back on your day and remember the love that you share. The strength that you have in each other and the passion for life that you both so obviously have!

Sincerely - Daniel and Amanda

Emily & Mike Take To the Altar

Hello Everyone,

One of the things that i enjoy about my job is meeting people. For example lets take Mike and Emily: I met with Mike and Emily over a year ago to sign contracts and talk about details for me to photograph their wedding. Fast forward through 12 months of life...wait a minute!! There was so much that happened over the past 12 months, Mike was in China on business for a few weeks, Emily was teaching kindergarden (and my sweet little niece), I moved into a new studio...oh my what a crazy busy life. Then after a few meetings and conversations on the phone it is now Emily and Mikes wedding day!!

For one day...Really 8-10hrs I have the privilege and honor to capture one of the most significant/life altering celebrations of two people's crazy schedules, their gifts and talents, and families join together for life. During all this emotion of joy, excitement, nervousness, and anticipation I am capturing images. The thing that gets me the most is that there are so many other experiences in life that need to be documented and recorded but it is for this one day that we pour out our gifts and talents to capture images for Emily and Mike to never forget this incredible day! I know that I have said this before but I love my job and it is so incredible to photograph for my clients!

Thanks so much Emily and Mike! My hope is that these images continue to encourage you throughout the years together...blessings on your marriage.

Kelsey & Nathan

Kelsey and Nathan, you guys were a blast! There is nothing that I can say to truly capture your spirits. You were such a fun and sincere couple. Your laughter and smiles filled the day with such joy and emotion! Everything from the Mobile station to Riverdale was incredible. The bridal party, the family, the friends, everyone involved was up for anything and filled the day with so many perfect moments. It was awesome to be able to capture your wedding. These are just a couple of my favorite moments from the day. I hope that they are a reminder of the love you share!

Sincerely - Daniel, Voni... and Nathaneal!

Amy & Harrison Tied the Knot!

Hello Again,

There was no other place Billy and I would have desired to spent our day with than Amy and Harrison on June 27th. I asked Billy if he could share one thing that stood out about the day what would it be?? {LOVE} was his answer! I kinda laughed and said well yes but tell me more...Billy began to describe how he could not only see but feel the love that Harrison had for Amy and how Amy beamed with love for Harrison. Billy also remarked about how much we connected with the guest and family. It was the joy of celebrating with them the love of Amy and Harrison. I remember watching Amy during the slide show at the reception. You could see how proud and excited she was to be marring Harrison. Another moment for me was seeing Harrison looking across at Amy when she was not watching. It is something how LOVE can see all the great things about each other. I hope you see the great things about Amy and Harrison.

Amy and Harrison, I hope as you look over these images in the years to come, that you remember June 27th, the beginning of a lifetime of Love.

Britney & Caleb - Married!

For Britney and Caleb's wedding I had the privilege of photographing at the gorgeous Conewago Manor Inn near Elizabethtown. It was a perfect day. Everyone was full of emotion. Laughter, tears and smiles were not in short supply at this wedding! It was such a beautiful event, one that will not be forgotten by all who attended. Thank you Britney and Caleb for allowing Amanda and myself the opportunity and pleasure of photographing your day. You are both perfect for each other and that is clearly evident to all who come in contact with you. I hope that these photographs will forever be present to remind you of the love that you share!

Sincerely, Daniel Mast

Rienna & Ryan - Married

Daniel here again... Finally posting! Rienna and Ryan had one of the most fun filled days I have photographed in a long time. With Norm (Boston Terrier), an amazing bridal party and some of the greatest dancers (Rienna's brothers) in the area all involved in their wedding it was sure to be a success. But I had no idea! The day went perfectly, to a T. Everything was gorgeous and wonderfully done from the incredible vintage dress that had been Rienna's mother's down to the favors and decor at Fireside Inn and Tavern in Strasburg. Rienna and Ryan, it was amazing capturing your wedding day, I hope these images bring back wonderful memories for years to come. Thank you for allowing Joe and I to photograph your incredible day.

Sincerely, Daniel Mast

Senior Session with Tyler

One of my favorite subjects to capture is seniors!! I hope to be capturing many more over the next few months, so if you know of anyone looking for senior pictures please contact us!!

Tyler is a brother of one of my past senior clients. I was excited when mom called and asked me to capture Tyler's pictures. She requested that I capture a few images by their famous and most photographed willow tree in their backyard. We headed over to the LS baseball fields to capture a few more images of one of Tyler's greatest passions...baseball. Tyler was not exactly excited about getting his picture take because he thinks he does not photograph well. Well, Tyler I think you did a great job and I hope you enjoy a few my favorites from your session.

Check back for more seniors soon!!

Shelleen & Tom...totally in love!

Amanda and I had a BLAST at Shelleen and Tom's wedding. We both train at Weaver's Personal Training which Tom owns, so it made it that much more enjoyable to be able to work with a couple we know! These two are so perfect together. You can just see the love they share and it seems that every look and every smile to each other speaks a thousand words! These two have a great story and it was an honor to be able to share in their special day. Thanks guys, hope Montana was wonderful!!

SAMI & CHRIS ARE HITCHED!

Hello Everyone and happy 4th!!

We are excited to post another great wedding captured on June 6th. Sami and Chris married at the beautiful Hershey Garden. The girls began at the Hershey Hotel and the guys at the butterfly house at the gardens. Nicola and I captured a few images of the girls up at the Hotel before the wedding. You will see one of my favorite images of Sami with her mom (the florist who created all the amazing flowers and decor) and dad(smiling the entire day!) for their formal before the ceremony. (Intern)Billy captured prep pictures of the guys and a few fun images of Chris and the guys around the gardens near the butterfly house. All of their guest's gathered underneath the shade trees in front of the rose gardens for the 11AM ceremony. One of my most favorite things about capturing weddings is the sequence of emotions and little stories that unfold throughout the day. But, even more fun is having a great team to work with like Nicola and Billy to capture a number of different angles that tell the fullness of the story that unfolds right before our lenses. Just look at these sweet little flower girls with their butterfly wings! Sami's brother sang a song during the ceremony that left quite a few guest's in tears and in awe of his talented vocals. Another joy is to capture images of the guest and loved ones during the ceremony. You can see just a few of the emotions that pour out of mom and dad, what a joy it is to capture weddings. I hope you enjoy looking through a few of my favorite images for the day. Which sequence or images do you like?

Sami and Chris, it was such a privilege to be a part of your wedding day! Thank you for trusting us! Blessings on your marriage and new opportunities in MD!!!
