We started out with Heather getting ready at the couple’s home in Avondale, PA. We had such a great with mom, Heather, and the wonderful bridesmaids. We captured many nice creative shots on their property, a golden wheat field, which was the perfect setting for the feel that Heather loves. The ceremony took place outdoors by the reflecting pool at Winterthur. It was an awesome experience to witness the special event among the gardens and excited guests. Following the ceremony we had some time set aside to be creative and have fun with Heather and Brent! Brent was even given permission to have his special all black Harley ready for a short ride with his new wife! WOW it was great to have the “guy” get his moment too. :) Later… the reception outdoors in the same location, lots of accent candles, cool mood lighting accenting the party. It was magical. Thanks to Nicole Bailey, and all the efficient and professional staff for making the day work! We LOVE working with you and shooting at Winterthur! We call it “heaven” for photographers! This was the first evening wedding reception by the reflecting pool! Perfect! The food was beautifully presented by Restaurant Associates, I remember the refreshing lime sorbert. Yummy….. And we cannot forget the memorable wedding cake created by Liz Marden- Gourmet Cakes and Desert Inc. PARTY-PARTY & DANCING under the stars to the sounds of Silver Sound from the one and only Steve Croce. Great job! A very special thank you to Larry and Star the Father and mother of the bride and Randy and Ann the parents of the groom. Thanks for making us feel at “home’ with your family and friends.

Happiness, Love, and Health,

mike and jana

One thing that she loves are photos of her children and grandchildren. They are all over her home. When Colleen contacted us that she wanted to get a photo of all the grand children for her grandmother, we were excited to document the special gathering. We were first scheduled for February 7th at the Crystal Tea Room, but one of this past winter storms completely spoiled everything considering that most of the subjects needed to travel considerable distances. We were finally able to select a date in July when everyone could travel again. The plan became even grander. We arranged for grandma to go for dinner and scheduled a secrete session at her house!
Thank you for all of you hard work Colleen. We truly enjoyed working with you and are wishing we could be there when she sees the portrait.
