We can’t think of a better way to start the new year than to witness (and photograph) a beautiful wedding. This past Saturday we had the pleasure of capturing Claire and Ryan’s wedding at The Links at Gettysburg. The venue was breathtaking inside and out. But, with the wind pushing temperatures in to single digits that day, shooting any pictures outside was not going to be easy. We did manage to squeak out a few before we had to run back inside and warm up.
We shot Claire and Ryan’s engagement portraits last year and had so much fun. Our anticipation for the wedding was high, and they didn’t disappoint us at all. Claire was beautiful in her one shoulder Venetian style wedding gown, and Ryan was very handsome in his black tuxedo. The plan for the day was to do all the formal group portraits before the wedding ceremony…a luxury we don’t usually have. That allowed us to take more time to focus on these formal shots, and not feel rushed.
The ceremony was beautifully performed in front of a large stone fireplace glowing with 40 or so candles of various sizes. After cocktails and dinner, the dance floor opened up and guests of every age filled the floor. Dave Lynch of Amplified Entertainment had the place rocking, and it seemed that the bride and groom along with the guests were enjoying the music variety the DJ played.
It was a fun evening, and we had many good photo opportunities. We put a few teaser pictures here within this blog posting. Check our website and FaceBook pages in the coming weeks for additional pics from this wedding day.
Hey, Claire and Ryan! Just viewed some awesome photos taken by your pro photographer. Excellent! Even if the photographer didn't state that the affair was "beautiful", one can see by the images that it was. Our family thoroughly enjoyed being there and the time flew because we were having such a great time. We are very happy for you two and wish you many, many years of friendship and happiness.
ReplyDeletePlease pass along my comments to the photographers @ Kanda Studios. As a professional photographer myself, I was impressed with their technique and respect shown to everyone at the wedding. The pictures are wonderful.
