Oh how we love Tommy and Kara…
The day was filled with nervous anticipation,
filled with loving friends and family…
filled with perfect details…
We wept our way through their wedding day with them…
goosebumps were prevalent…
the sacredness of the vows was felt by all.
and the joy of the day was sealed forever in this moment.
After the ceremony we headed over to one of our favorite venues, Veritas Vineyard and Winery. The day was perfectly gorgeous and we took full advantage of the amazing light…
and then they danced…
At the end of the night both John and I were just overcome with the beauty of the day. It wasn’t the details, it wasn’t the venue or the cake or the dresses. The reason we fell in love with this wedding, fell in love with this gorgeous day, fell in love with this family and fell in love with Tommy and Kara was simple. We love the way they loved. I wanted to wrap that whole day up and put it on a shelf, only to unwrap it in 20 years as a gift to my little girl. I can only dream such a perfect day filled with so much love for her. Thank you Tommy and Kara, for allowing us to be a part of yours.

So Kimberly and I have been crazy busy this spring. So many weddings its not even funny. Almost half of our weddings for 2010 were in the past 3 months. Part of the challenge of being really busy married wedding photographers is not ignoring your kids, giving them a wholesome life experience yet still giving our clients the services they expect. So we take turns most of the time*, one of us works the other gets to spend the day with the kids. On this particular occasion I (John) got to take the kiddos strawberry pickin’, an essential childhood experience (pickin’ anything really). We want to teach the kids about real food, we want them to know that the best food comes from the work of your own hands and that the best people to enjoy real food with is the people you call family (whoever that may be in your life). Strawberries are real food, pickin strawberries with family is love, making jelly is good work and eating everything you can make from a strawberry with family is pure joy. As a Father, for me its, about giving my children a taste of heaven, I hope they got it. That picture of the three of them above, standing together in the field is about the most awesome thing I have ever photographed, an amazing fathers day present the kids gave me without knowing it. I try to show them heaven and they always show it to me.
(I need to give credit where credit is due.. the kids and I were lounging around the house (kinda whiny) when Kimberly said “Why don’t you go pick some strawberries?”. So if the kids saw anything of heaven it was because of their good momma.)
* Of course, if we get anything done it is usually because of the amazing people who watch our kids when we need them to.

Some recent artistic inspiration from the Rebirth Workshops blog. A wonderful resource for professional photographers that want to rediscover joy and meaning in their passion. Words can not express how wonderful Lancaster, PA is in the springtime, I enjoy it so much.
