Last night I stopped up to meet my brother’s family’s new puppy Chloe. The light from sunset was so gorgeous and the dog was so cute that I just had to bust out my camera for an impromptu lifestyle portrait session. I wish my brother would have been there, but at least I got these:

Tracy + Ben's Wedding | Lawrence Park Golf Club | Erie PA
September 9, 2008 by Heather · 2 Comments
On Saturday we photographed the fun and beautiful wedding of Tracy and Ben at Lawrence Park Golf Club in Erie, PA. Tracy was absolutely stunning in her gown and I loved Ben’s camouflage vest and tie!
We were lucky that the weather cooperated and gave us gorgeous light to shoot in. The LPGC did an excellent job and everything was just perfect. DJ Greg Anderson did a great job as well.





Tracy and Ben — Thanks for letting us capture your day, you are a great and fun couple! We hope you’ll still be laughing together for many, many years! Have fun in Vegas!! <3 Heather and Murl

Mark & Melissa's Warner Theatre Wedding | Erie, PA
August 27, 2008 by Heather · 2 Comments
A couple of weekends ago we had the privilege of photographing Mark and Melissa’s old Hollywood movie themed wedding at the Warner Theatre in Erie. All I can say is wow! The day was so unique and utterly beautiful. They had fantastic live music during the ceremony that built the anticipation for the bride to come down the grand staircase. The decor was classy with old movie posters and centerpieces provided by Potratz, who also did a fabulous job with the flower arrangements. DJ John Gallagher did a fantastic job emceeing the event – oh and if you haven’t heard Mark and Melissa’s ‘how they met’ story you need to, its a riot. Okay, on with the pictures!

Mark & Melissa — Thanks again for having us as your photographers and for being such fun people to work with! We had a great time and captured some awesome images
Glad to hear your honeymoon fit safely and perfectly between the hurricanes! <3 Heather & Murl

Pencek Wedding | Gowanda & Dunkirk NY
On Saturday we photographed the fabulous wedding of Lisa & Joey. Their church was beautiful – St. Joseph’s Church in Gowanda, NY, the ceremony was lovely and the reception at Shorewood Country Club was fantastic! We even got a little bit of playtime at Point Gratiot beach in Dunkirk. Every aspect of their wedding day was planned and executed perfectly. From the attire to the table settings, dinner and dancing, everyone looked amazing and everything was wonderful. And what a great couple!

Thomas' Senior Portraits
July 24, 2008 by Heather · 6 Comments
Thomas came in from Clymer last night for his senior portraits and we made it happen just in time to beat the torrential downpour! We started out with some portraits involving his passion for bowling — now this is a guy you want to have on your team, he bowled a 300 game this year!

Then we walked around town a bit and took some pictures with a bunch of different buildings for backdrops – North East has some really cool locations for portraits. This was my favorite -

We hit up the football field and got some really cool shots with the stormy sky…



Thanks to Thomas and Wendy for such an enjoyable session. Good luck and enjoy your senior year, Thomas!
4th of July Wedding | Peek'n Peak
July 9, 2008 by Heather · 5 Comments
Last Friday we had the privilege of photographing my cousin’s fourth of July wedding! Ariel and Noah were married at Edward’s Chapel in French Creek, NY and had their reception at the Retreat at Peek’n Peak. These two looked so great and are so in love and had the biggest smiles on their faces the entire day, it was impossible to take a bad photograph. We were also fortunate to have total creative freedom throughout the whole day and we came up with some really great stuff! We got so many great images but I can only post a few, so here goes!
Here are a couple of detail shots – I really love their wedding rings, Noah’s is so unique!
A tight embrace post-ceremony:
Then we got a chance for some fun shots across the road from the church.
This next one is either my favorite or reallllly close to it, I just love it!
Noah and Ariel ~ Congratulations!! We are so excited for you two and we look forward to seeing what the future has in store for you! Much love, Heather & Murl

For this post I’m focusing on the details from this wedding. They had so many great details that made their wedding unique and we wanted to showcase them here.

So we just got back from Kory and Carrie’s wedding in Lawrence Park. It was such a beautiful ceremony and luckily the weather turned out to be too! This was our first wedding of the season and we couldn’t wait to get out there and shoot! The ceremony was at the Lawrence Park United Methodist Church and their reception was at the Lawrence Park Golf Club. In between we hopped on the trolley and went down to the Bayfront for some photos. I’ll share a little bit more about their wedding in my next post — here are some images!






Carrie and Kory — Congratulations! You guys are such a fantastic couple and I’m sure you will have a wonderful life together!! Thanks for letting us capture your special day! <3 Heather & Murl
