The weather was gorgeous (not to hot, even in August!), M&G are both a lot of fun, and Megan is one of the most expressive people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Their ceremony was at St. Mary’s Church in Lancaster, and they celebrated in style at Riverdale Manor.

Big thanks to Kevin High who joined me for the day as well!

Megan’s dad sang during the ceremony.

Flowers by Sandra Porterfield.  Gorgeous!

Blue Steel Greg!

A few pictures over by the Lancaster Brewing Company!

Riverdale Manor was beautiful, as always.

Thanks again for letting us be a part of your day, Megan and Greg!

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 Photolé 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!
