katie & mike, stephany catering: erie pa wedding photography

Back in 2009, when I was pregnant and losing my mind, I shot a ton of weddings that I never even had a chance to blog or share! This was one. It was for Katie and Mike. I have been honored to know them both for a very long time, and Katie is one of my sister’s best friends. They had a casual, funky and awesome wedding held all at Stephany Catering. I remember that it was overcast and rainy in the morning but then perfect the rest of the day (except very muggy) but this so-in-love fresh and funky couple did not care!

Because I’m craving warmth and shooting outside in the sun and green again, I dug through my archives to warm up. Here were a few of my favorites

Beautiful short dress found on ebay, and handmade silk flower bouquet

Is she not the such a classy yet fresh and funky bride all at the same time?

These girls are the best. I love this pose, need to rememeber to use it again, and lots!

Could anyone else pull off this necklace ensemble on their wedding day? doubt it!

The awesome dudes. The two on the right are Mike’s brothers.

Seriously, this couple is one of the most in-love-affectionate-make-you-want-to-puke-but-in-a-good-way couples I’ve ever met or photographed

Fun times at the ice cream stand! Remember sunshine and getting ice cream? Can’t wait.

There first dance was in the evening outside, and there were gnats everywhere. However  I like to pretend they were little sparkly fairies

Sparklers to finish off the evening!
