Sam and Ed’s wedding was the first time I’d ever been to Green Gables near Jennerstown, PA. I was immediately taken by the beauty of the place with it’s mixture of nature and rustic buildings, including the Mountain Playhouse theater. Joining me for this wedding was James Knox, my long-time colleague and friend from my days as a staff photographer for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. Besides being a great photographer to work with, James had me in tears laughing all day long:)
Here are some of my favorite photos from the day:

It was a warm night with no breeze at all, which made for perfect conditions for this photo by the creek:
