Lake Erie, PA | Lake Shore Country Club Wedding

Are you ready for this? John and Lia’s Lake Erie PA wedding was one for the books. The wedding design was flawless, but even sweeter was all the heartfelt emotion of the day. These two are so very loved by their friends and family, and it was amazing to capture every priceless moment for them. They emphasized their vision for lots of authentic, in-the-moment images that truly captured the essence of their day. When I asked what inspired them to book with me, Lia said she especially loved the natural elegance represented through my style:

“We care most about shots of John and I and our families together. I would really love some fun shots when we are all dancing too. We want to be able to see moments captured when we aren’t even looking—small moments that we can remember.”
-Lia, Bride

Done and done! And the phenomenal band, The Groove Erie, made sure we got those dancing shots. I’ve photographed quite a few weddings, and I just can’t say enough about the entertainment at this one—the band interacted with guests the whole time and had everyone out on the dance floor laughing and having a good time. Be sure to check them out if you’re planning your own wedding. I highly recommend this talented crew!

First Look with Dad

If you’re on the fence about doing a first look, consider a first look with a loved one. Lia and her father had me reaching for the tissues as she came down the staircase to meet him on her wedding day. Their relationship is just beautiful. It’s deep and heartfelt, but also fun and easy going (check out those awesome dance moves for the father/daughter dance!!) I couldn’t get enough photos of those two!
