This past Saturday was our first time photographing a reception at the Penn State Arboretum. We have been there plenty of times before for portrait shoots but seeing the way they set it up for a wedding was really interesting. The day began at the Days Inn photographing the preparation and moved on to campus for some photos with the girls and on the Faith United Church of Christ in downtown State College. A quick detour to the JoePa statue by Beaver Stadium and we were off to the Arboretum. We had met Lauren when she was a bridesmaid in a wedding we photographed a few years ago and got to know Mike better during our initial meetings and theengagement session,so the day was mostly stress free – like working with good friends. Overall, it was a beautiful event with a fantastic couple and we are very pleased with the photos!
