Cathy & Austin : now one

Hello Everyone

Blog time again and we have a number ready to go!!

Cathy and Austin married on April 24, 2010 in New Holland, PA at Petra Christian Fellowship. I wanted to share with you a set of images captured during the ceremony that have blessed me and have given me more passion for capturing images. Let me explain...

As I look over these images I see more than just people wearing nice clothes...maybe clothes they may never wear again. I see more than just people standing on a stage and in places of prominent view (even if they don't like being on center stage). What I do see is:

Two mom's lighting a candle reflecting on the life of the one they now release...

A man in transition to something new and exciting and something he has long been anticipating...

the support of little and big...

the joy in receiving and giving away to the more that is in store...

a community of people surrounding one another in worship of a Creator that surrounds them...

the encouragement of mentors that will help guide Cathy and Austin and be there yesterday, today, and for years to come...

a commitment being made and instruction being given and the mystery of two becoming one...

participating with elements to remember this day that they are no longer two individuals but now together, forever...

prayers and knowledge of others being imparted to Cathy and Austin...

a first kiss...literally...this is something that I have rarely seen or have had the privilege of capturing...



...this is a series that I wish hugs and smiles could talk...or do they?

the joy ahead of a new life together as Mr. and Mrs...


Bless you Cathy and Austin...your commitment to one another has inspired me...your family and relationships challenge me...may these images be a reminder of that cool April day where you became one!

National Day of Prayer 2010

For the past few years I have been capturing the NDP and this year the event took place at a new location!! Lancaster Bible College hosted the event. Tony Evans spoke and son Anthony Evans lead worship for the evening. Here are a few of my favorite images of worship, encouragement and prayer!

Brooke & Marc - Married!

Hey Everyone,

Excited to be back on and posting again!!

Rivedale in the spring time!! Brook and Marc were blessed with an incredible wedding day! It was such a privilege to be capturing a wedding in spring. Every time I photograph I am excited about the images, but this spring day, at such a great location, with such beautiful people...wow...I was a little overwhelmed. Kristen Green from Tangles worked with Brooke on hair and make up. Flowers were arranged by Carmen Horst. Riverdale was stunning.

But, what captured my heart was the love and commitment that Brooke and Marc had for one another. Through time spent and learning about the couple I found that their relationship was unique in how they found each other. How one needed the other in the midst of life. It was as though a net caught them and stopped them side by side. And, now, they will never be separated as they joined as one on April 9th 2010.

Bless you and your marriage Marc and Brooke, may the net of your love keep you in line with one another, may it support up in the waves of life, and may you be bond to one another as one. Thank you for the gift of photographing your wedding. May these images remind you of the start to forever as one.
