Andrea & John | Pottstown Wedding

When I first met Andrea, we really seemed to click. She had already booked me months earlier before we met, so since the formalities were out the way, we just had fun chatting! From that very first day, I was really looking forward to working with her and John. Their engagement session was an absolute blast and I just knew their wedding would be even more fun! These two are complete jokers...so quirky and funny that you just can't be around them for more than 5 minutes without erupting into a full belly laugh! They are such a true pleasure to be around and a pure joy in front of the camera.

Enjoy some (long awaited!) pictures....

Funny thing....when I asked Andrea what her dress looked like, she said it was the SAME as Dina's! Sure is! (Andrea is such a blog stalker!! LOL)

L-O-V-E her bouquet! So perfect for a fall wedding.

My clients are so different, I've had a rash of unique rings this year, but this one might top the cake. Gorgeous. Obviously, Andrea had her "something blue"!

Andrea's Man of Honor, Mike, was a hands on presence, even during the prep phase. He's such an awesome friend to her. :)

We decided to take a few portraits at the church before heading on to the reception.

Of course any B&G within street's view will attract honks from passerby cars and being the good sports they are, A&J waved back!

The reception took place at Andrea's grandfather's house, which was amazing to say the least.

After about a half hour of him following me, I gave in and danced for like a minute. LOL Figured I would try for some pix at the same time....blurry but seriously funny!

End of the night...can you tell?
AndreaJohnBlog_48

I freakin adore this picture. The moment, the lighting. Awesome.
AndreaJohnBlog_47

These guys were soooooo much fun! I don't think I've ever had more fun at a wedding! I could have posted soooooo many more pix but I tried to narrow it down a little LOL. Andrea, John and their family and friends were so incredible and they completely made me and Tessie feel like one of their own. Thanks so much for the great time and for being such fun people!!

PS - I'd like to take this opportunity to give a big shout out to the peeps at Drexel HR, who I KNOW have been stalking my blog like there's no tomorrow. :) Lots of love goes out to ya'll and now that Andrea's wedding is posted, I hope you continue to visit! :)

I love your pictures! I have a few questions/comments, but first, I have to find out--did your friend find a home for the husky dog yet?? I live in DE and am interested. I'd have to talk it over with my family first, of course
