Katie and Bob were married in a beautiful ceremony at St. Mary’s Catholic Church on July 18. Their friends and family were so welcoming, and the wedding party was an absolute blast. I was laughing so hard during our stop at Spring Grove Park that I could barely take pictures!! Below is the wedding day preview – and here is the more extensive slideshow.
The day started at the house of Katie’s parents, as the girls got ready. And wow, was a gorgeous bunch of ladies!!!
The dress.
The sweet little shoes…
… of Katie and Bob’s adorable daughter Leah, who was also a flower girl. Just spending a day with them, I could see that Katie and Bob are AMAZING parents and this little girl is so loved!!
Leah was a character. The bridesmaids were making faces to keep her amused…
Katie was stunning!
I love the looks on her mom and grandma’s faces when they see her.
Leah was pretty much oblivious to what was going on. She was happy just coloring!
Beautiful…
Meanwhile Kevin was hanging out with the guys, snapping a few photos.
The guys decided to measure just how tall Bob really is. Hilarious!
We then headed to the church and got a few photos of the guys before the ceremony. Since St. Mary’s is covered top to bottom in scaffolding, we borrowed another beautiful church across the street 
.
Katie, you have the most beautiful smile!! Katie and Bob saw each other in the choir loft before the ceremony and spent a few minutes together.
I just love this shot… such a wonderful family. Leah decided to twirl in the aisle for a few minutes.
Married!!
A few family portraits after the ceremony…
I think Leah was a big fan of the bubbles after the ceremony!
We headed to Spring Grove Park in Jamestown for photos – this bridal party shot is one of my faves .
Guys… in tuxes… in slippery fancy shoes… on a tree over a stream… not my idea!! But the guys were having a great time.
Yeah, way too gorgeous!!
Then we had a few moments with the stunning bride and groom….
So sweet together!
Katie wanted a few portraits using red balloons like the Sex and City opening credits… she did a fantastic job!!
She is so gorgeous…
Wow. They know how to work it!!
Can you believe their eyes? Stunning!!
I loved this idea – cupcakes for the guests (three different flavors!), and a little tiny cake on top for cutting!
For their very touching first dance, one of the groomsmen played guitar and sang “Something” by the Beatles… wow.
This is one of my favorite shots from the day. I love how Leah is holding on to her daddy’s hand. So precious!
Daddy and daughter…
And another daddy and daughter…
Katie’s flowers were amazing!
A few ring shots…
And then it was time to boogie!! Looks like Bob was having fun…
This group really knew how to party. What a fun reception!!
Leah was tuckered out after a long, exciting day…
And that’s about how Kevin and I felt, tuckered out but happy after an absolutely wonderful wedding. Katie and Bob, we enjoyed photographing your wedding immensely!! Thank you for being so fantastic to us. We know you both (and Leah!) will have a wonderful life together, and we wish you the very best! Don’t forget to view your more extensive slideshow here.
