What does a relationship look like, if you had to pick a single photo to illustrate yours?
I had to break the rules to get this shot of Charlie, the church rules that is. I think he’ll appreciate the memory more than the church lady appreciates me!
Just to be fair to Charlie, he’s not the weepy type - that was just his wedding after all! Apples were a part of their wedding theme and so I put a few in Charlie’s hands to help show their active and humorous side.
So that’s a quick look at a relationship within a few photos, I always try to grasp the multiple facets of your wedding and relationship in the photos.

If you’d love to hire a personal wedding planner but that’s just not in your budget?
Planning a wedding is a huge undertaking and most brides just dive right into it without a set plan hoping to figure it out along the way. I’m sure you’ve:
- Bought a planner from the bookstore: (it’s become a mobile dumping ground for all the wedding stuff you’ve collected but now don’t feel like going through)
- Attended a couple of wedding fairs: (and been completely overwhelmed by all the options and you’re not sure what criteria to base your decision on)
- Stocked up on wedding magazines: (sure the pictures are great for ideas but how can you pull off these ideas on your budget?)
- Talked with your friends who’ve gotten married: (and talked and talked about how amazing their wedding was but they’re really not giving you any answers to help you with your wedding)

Ok - I love stories like this, and I hope the video guy got good audio on this….
So Scott’s dad is giving the toast, and he starts slowing down - saying “I was thinking I would try and find one word that would best describe my son.”
So naturally everyone is one the edge of their seat, as he’s really taking a while - like he’s lost his idea - but then he spits it out: GRAND. Ok, so why draw it out….then he follows up with “I’ve always thought of my son as a graaaand son.” and with that I’d like to present the new couple with this gift; and he pulls out a wrapped box. Beth and Scott unwrap it facing them…and everyone wants to know what was in the box….
And so Scott & Beth are cajoled by the audience into showing the gift to everyone
So amid rolling guffaws, cheers and jeers - dad brings his point home!

Here’s some eye candy from Hershy PA….my destination last weekend
Beth, well Elizabeth the bride having her hair glossed in the Stylist’s seat at LeoFrittelli Salon on East Chocolate Avenue in Hershey. Someone will have to remind me the stylist’s name, but Beth’s choice to leave those wisps was a lovely stylistic element for her face which keyed the overall wedding theme.
She had a few spare moments to ponder with her sister Aerial after the up-do was finished.
A quick pause to fasten her jewelery and she was on to the descent from Monday’s picture.
I felt it was a daring arrangement she made for the ceremony in Founder’s Hall at the Hershey School, and matched it photographically.
A poignant moment from the ceremony, then a hug.
Now as a graduate of the Hershey school, I was even able to find an artifact proving so in the hall - spot her? 
Scott was waiting paitently…
…for the Hershey girl’s kisses to start.
Scott’s wardrobe malfunctioned, and Beth was quick to right the situation.
We were fortunate enough for this April wedding to have blossoms on the trees.
Moments of beauty surrounded us, and we succumbed to enjoying them.
You can view Beth & Scott’s full wedding photos at www.MakeLoveReal.com, and wish them well in the comments below. If you’d like to see more photos from their wedding, and hear a recap of the toast, read on to this post.
Blessings in your new life together, stay grateful!
