Lauren & Mike booked me at the beginning of last year… they live in Massachusetts, were getting married in Pennsylvania, and so we didn’t have a chance to meet face to face until just a few weeks before their wedding. As soon as I sat down with them, I knew it was going to be a great wedding… Lauren & Mike are both incredibly kind and delightful people to be around, and I was really looking forward to their day!

Once again I was joined by Sandor Welsh, who did a great job as usual. I’m including a couple of his shots in this post to tell the story a bit better. Thanks again Sandor!

Enough talk. Show me PICTURES!

Sandor got this shot on the left of Michael waiting with the priest before the ceremony. As for the shot on the right… did I mention it snowed? Yes, and probably the worst weather I’ve ever shot in! Check that… not “worst.” Try “wettest and most chance of getting my gear soaked.” That’s okay! As I tell all of my couples: we’ll do whatever it takes to get great image, and I’m willing to shoot in whatever weather you’re willing to walk out in!

The ceremony took place at St. Ann’s Church in Phoenixville. For these next 3 shots, I was at the front of the church while Sandor was at the back.

As was the case with just about all of my couples in 2009, Lauren and Michael decided that getting great photos was worth getting a little chilly, and so we had a great time shooting around Phoenixville. I think it was worth it, don’t you?

One of my favorite images from that day.

Inside the Colonial Theatre… we managed to show up in between events when no one was there.

Then on to the Phoenixville Country Club for the party…

Another great moment… I caught Mike’s parents at their table from across the room.

Love how we ended the day…

Mike & Lauren – mad props to you both for putting together an incredible day, and for heading out in the snow… TWICE! We really enjoyed spending the time with you… thank you!
