Click Blog 4 Love winners...part 2

Hey Everyone,

Its part 2 of the Click Blog 4 Love winners! Jen and Ryan have quite a story of how their love for one another has grown deeper and wider than they could have comprehended in such a short time of marriage! It was just one year into Ryan and Jen's marriage when Jen had to undergo a major surgery on her brain. It was through this experience that Jen learn about the love and the value of Faith, Family and Friends.

As I approached this capture session I desire to capture something more than pictures of pretty people. I desire to capture a story of the love and support. We chose to keep things simple and clean to communicate the love of Jen and Ryan for one another.








This is my most favorite image of the capture session. During this time of capture there was a sweet spirit of love and support that surrounded Jen as she looked around at the support letters, felt the loving touch of Ryan holding her, and the weight of the Bible on her lap to look to in times of needed encouragement.



Jen and Ryan - Thank you for giving me freedom to capture you and may you be blessed with greater revelation of the Faith, Family and Friends that love you!

Click Blog 4 Love

Hello Everyone,

I am excited to share with you the pictures of the winners from our Click Blog 4 Love winners. The first winner I captured was DJ Freez and Candace. I have know and worked with Freez for years now but had no idea that Freez was thinking about asking Candace to marry him. As we reviewed the entries for the contest I started reading Freez's entry (not knowing it was Freez) and could not believe what I was reading!! He wrote Candace a poem and at the end of the poem he would ask her to marry him!! I thought what an honor to be invited into this special moment in their lives.

Here are a few of my favorite images captured of Freez pouring out is heart of love for Candace...










May these images bless you and keep your hearts of love for one another!

Ashley and Curtis get MARRIED!

Ashley and Curtis are two extremely sweet people. Pearl and I had a blast capturing their special day last week, and were thrilled at what a cool day it was.

Here are a couple of things about their day that we loved:
- the weather was simply amazing! It was one of the nicest spring days of the year so far.

- Curtis had a way to make us and everyone else laugh. He has a spunk and humor to him that make smiles creep on your face without you even noticing.

- They had the coolest, funniest, wildest dancing kids you could ask to be at your wedding. Seriously these guys could go on the road as party entertainment.

- Gram (aka Curtis’s Grandma) was the best senior dancer I’ve ever seen. She really knows how to “get down with her bad self” and one can see where Curtis gets his spunk from.

- Ashley’s eyes are amazing! She’s a gorgeous girl, who simply looked fabulous. Plus she was super sweet all day.

- And there are about another hundred things I could write but I’ll stop it there and let these pictures speak for themselves.

Ashley and Curtis, thank you again for inviting Pearl and I to celebrate with you on your special day. You guys are a special couple and I wish you the best in your new marriage.

Sincerely,
Matt

Love is in the air...

Walking around Lancaster City with a landscape architect and school teacher makes for some amazing conversation. Chris could share on the style of the streets, the shape of courtyards, and how the history of Rome can be seen throughout our city. At the same time, Kelly enlightened me on the use of imagery and pictures to help students who are born with speaking disabilities learn how to connect words with objects. I felt like my IQ increased just by being around them!

Well, these two intellectual ones are also in love and we are looking forward to their “Black Friday” wedding this coming fall.

Here are a couple my favorite images from our stroll around the city, and I look forward to sharing some more pictures of them come November.

Chris and Kelly, thanks for waking up early to hang out last week and may the rest of your wedding plans go amazing! Looking forwarding to seeing you in a couple of short months.

Sincerely,
Matt

Check us out on the news!

As Taylor and I walked out the door to have our wedding portraits taken, Jeremy asked us to grab an umbrella to keep some of the snow off of us as we walked. I had no idea the umbrella would actually be in the pictures! If we knew, we could've planned better to have a matching, more decorative umbrella over our heads. Now that people have seen our pictures, we've gotten the suggestion several times that we should send our umbrella picture to WGAL to see what happens. Well I finally took that advice yesterday and decided to email one of our photos to WGAL. As luck may have it, I received an email from Doug Allen this afternoon saying that we were going to be on the news this evening! What a blessing this big blue and white umbrella turned out to be! Check us out at 5pm tonight! Thank you Jeremy for having us grab an umbrella and for capturing this beautiful photo!

Airplanes, Love, and an Amazing story

Tina has experience some amazing times in her life as well as some uncommonly difficult times. These experiences now make her the amazing person she is. Nate remained a faithful friend through these peaks and valleys and one day when they looked at each other they realized that the person they thought was only a dear friend, was actually the one they desired to spend the rest of their lives with.

Their first date was at the Lancaster Airport where Nate stores his plane, and so it was only fitting for their engagement pictures to be taken there as well.

I’m excited to continue to get to know each of these amazing people and to share with you here on the blog their amazing wedding day.

Meet "Click Blog for Love" winner Lesa

A couple of weeks ago we hosted a “click blog for love” contest where we asked you to tell us your love story. The studio, and some friends from FIG, picked our favorites and offered a couple of lucky couples a free Valentines portrait session. Well, today we're finally posting our first session, and all I’ve got to say is “it was so much fun!”

Lesa submitted an adorable poem that captured in words the love she has for her husband and her family. After only spending a couple of minutes with them, I found myself asking “who couldn’t love this family?”

Her husband is a classy and smooth pilot, almost like a modern day James Bond. Her Daughter is a bubbly bundle of sunshine that simply brightens a room. And last but not least, her son is a wild man that would make any dad proud, and he’s currently training to become a Jedi knight.

Here’s a collage of a few of my favorite images from our time together.

Thank you Lesa for inviting us into your home and sharing some of your family’s love with us.

Sincerely,
Matt
