riverdale manor wedding | keely + greg

Monday, February 15th, 2010

Keely and Greg had initially set their wedding date as December 19, 2009… but for those of you who live in the northeast, you may remember that as the first blizzard this winter threw at us. I woke up that morning to the phone ringing… it was Keely, and she said they were considering postponing the wedding until the following day, would I be available then instead? Turns out I was! Not only that, but EVERY ONE of the people she had hired for her wedding — the venue, the florist, the DJ, everyone — was able to work on the 20th instead. So instead of slogging through a dangerous storm, they had beautiful sun on their wedding day!

A huge thanks to Ole at PhotolĂ© for answering the call and stepping up to 2nd shoot for me with only one day’s notice! As usual, I included a few of his pictures below as well.

We began the day in Schaefferstown where Greg grew up. Greg and Keely wanted to take pictures around town since it’s such a meaningful place to them.

Also, we came away with so many pictures I loved from this day… I tried to whittle it down but this post is still a bit long. *shrug*







The local watering hole… K&G are here from time to time, so of course we had to stop in for a few photos…







I love this photo for some reason… “Let’s go get hitched!”


Keely’s mom… love getting these moments.




Look at the light in this church!





After the ceremony, everyone went over to Riverdale Manor for the reception. I loved shooting here in the winter… the snow really gave the place a great feel!




It was Keely’s father’s birthday.






And yes, if/when my own daughter gets married, I’ll probably be doing the same thing.


Keely and Greg, I can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate you both… thank you for an amazing day!

As sort of a familial Valentine’s Day celebration we went out to lunch at one of our favorite places, Iron Hill in Phoenixville… and we’re still in the process of teaching V the difference between food, beverage, and condiment. I snapped these with my iPhone.

Hoping you spend the day with people you love!

I’m sure I’m in the minority here, but I was SO excited about the snow this week! Our neighborhood is gorgeous when it’s like this… the world gets quiet, people hunker down, and every once in a while we venture out to see what it’s like out there.

A couple of our street…


And of course we had to get V out there too.


She was kind of skeptical.


My favorite…

Every kid should experience snow like this!
