There is much to say about this happy couple that I had the honor of photographing on June 18th at the U.S. Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. They planned their wedding long distance (she was finishing school in South Carolina and he is in the Army is upstate New York and the wedding took place in Central Pennsylvania. Her parents now live in Texas and the bride's family grew up in New Jersey). Everyone traveled quite a distance to be a part of their happy day and what a day it was. It was cooler on that summer day than it had been which was a welcome surprise. The sky was a perfect blue and the wedding coordinator helped make the most picturesque setting at both the chapel and the reception which took place at a close family friend's farm under a big white tent. This post is all about the details, setting, the ceremony and later the fun at the reception.

Then on to the wedding, which took place at
the U.S. Army War College Memorial Chapel.
I love the details on the back of Josie's gown.

Ashley provided the music during
the ceremony. What a gorgeous voice!

The happy couple walking back down
the aisle now as husband and wife!
After the receiving line, Ben & Josie
exited the chapel through a sea of bubbles.
Then we took a beautiful drive out in to the country
to where the reception took place. This precious
sign welcomed the guests to the party.
The details were amazing. Loved all the romantic touches!
I loved the candy buffet and so did all the guests!

The cake was made by the Holland American Bakery
and delivered from Sussex, New Jersey.

Then they smashed it all over each other's faces. I
grabbed this cute shot of the two with cake all over their faces.
Check back soon for another posting of all the portraits from the day.
