This wedding was held at the beautiful Brookemere Winery in the heart of Big Valley. I was not the photographer for this but talked to the photographer and he was fine with my posting a few photos. I wish I knew his name. He was a really nice guy and we talked several times throughout the evening about the wedding industry. He even mention he has a wedding venue in the works near Martinsburg PA.
As I mentioned, the wedding was at Brookemere winery, in the barn, for close to 300 people. Yes, 300 people. I didn’t think it was possible, but they did it. I was providing sound for the ceremony and was on the balcony area. It was nice to see it from that area, but looking at the couple of shots I took from there my angle of view was pretty limited.
After the wedding we moved over to the pavilion for the reception. I was set up in the corner area and a good distance from the dance floor. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to get many photos, but remembered a 2x extender I have for my 70-200 lens, making it a 400mm. I generally only use that for outdoor, wildlife or sports. What the heck, I gave it a go.
I had a lot of fun working with the couple, meeting a new photographer, and playing at the Brookemere Winery. It has actually been quite a while since we have been there. They always treat us really well. I believe the food, which was delicious, was from JP Edwards in Lewistown. They had a very professional staff that was on top of things from beginning until the end.
Thanks to Amber and Joshua for everything. I’ll post more photos on my photography facebook page soon. Make sure you look for those and like the page if you haven’t.
