Katie & Mark | Tie The Knot | Part 1 | Halifax Wedding Photographer

Part 1 of Katie & Mark Motter’s Wedding Sneak Peeks!

A few reasons why it is SOOO awesome to be Katie & Mark:

  • They are completely head over heels wild about each other.
  • They are surrounded with an incredibly close, loving and super fun group of Family & Friends.
  • They are going to one day make very gorgeous little offspring…
  • They are a match made in heaven, it is hard to find a couple this perfect for each other.

Katie & Mark’s Wedding began on a beautifully crisp December day in a beautiful little church in Halifax…

The Groomsmen were an endless source of comedic relief, the perfect ingredients for an Awesome Wedding Party!  Katie & Mark did a spectacular job in chosing an amazingly fun and good looking group of Family & Friends to be in their Wedding Party.  This will be more apparent when we release Part 2 of this series…

Faygo Moon Mist Can

I am going to have to get my hands on one of these “Moon Mist” sodas, never heard of it before, very intrigued at what moon flavor tastes like…

These flowers represent Katie’s biological Father who could not be there physically to witness this beautiful day, however he was with them spiritually.

I have gotten a lot of comments on the twinkle lights behind the couple, they were created in camera with a 4 point star filter.

One the awesome benefits of getting married in December is, pretty much everything is already decorated for you!

During our Church tour I remembered Katie asked about doing a B&W photo with the color red painted back in.  This one was begging for it…

And also during the Church tour Katie described her dress to me as “really simple with a red sash”.  I absolutely LOVED her dress.  Not at all what I was expecting.  It looked jaw dropping on her.  I want one too!

We pretty much limited our outdoor shots to right outside of the church, what can I say, it is December and the ladies no likey the cold;)

Stay tuned for Part 2 from Katie & Mark’s Wedding Day Celebration, featuring super cool shots of the Wedding Party & Couple and glimpses of their fun & snazzy Reception at the Harrisburg Hilton…

I must thank my Assistant for the day Jaime Thebes.  Her assistance, energy, self motivation, professionalism, creative eye and great people skills just blew me away!  When I did not need her help she was not one to stand around, she was brain storming ideas and shooting!
