October is always a busy month for wedding – and how can it not be? The colors, falling leaves, and moods are just perfect for a bride & groom’s special day. Alicia & Zach were married on yet another beautiful Fall day. The weather was perfect, and the location could not have been more beautiful. (more of that later.)

Alicia had her hair done @ Sheer Sensations in Lititz – it’s a little neat Salon with lots of light (which is a joy to every photographer) at the main street of lititz.

Getting her hair done..

And then make up..

I just love this shot..

Afterwards, I stopped by Zach’s house to catch the guys getting ready..

Zach is a super-friendly, always laughing and really LOUD guy.

Zach also has a couple of big dogs… one of them couldn’t help to get into the picture..

And oh, meet Landen. He’s definitely a cutie.

Yep.

Then we went outside for some pictures..

Off to the church now, where Alicia is putting her dress on..

The Flower Girl was unfortunately not feeling to well… she was fighting an illness… but still walked down the aisle regardless. Such a trooper!

A beautiful bride + fall background = a great picture.

And now the totally rad church I was referring to at the blog title. It’s a small, traditional church located at a beautiful location in Manheim.

If you think the outside looks nice, wait until you see the inside…

I caught this moment before the ceremony begins.. it was one of the few quiet moments for Zach.

Waiting for the procession to begin..

The following few images are one of my favorite sets of the day.

Prayer..

And the kiss..

They were greeted by the bubbles outside..

And we posed for one last rocking group picture before going off to the reception.

The reception was held @ the American Legion in Lititz..

The first dance..

The Phillies garter!

Alicia & Zach conspired to smack the cake at the best man / maid of Honor…. and boy they didn’t see that coming!

The party goes on..

A Michael Jackson tribute..

And lots and lots more dancing..

Alicia & Zach, thanks so much for allowing me to be a part of your special day. Best wishes for you both as you embark your new life together!! And say hi to Landen for me!!
