Jim Harris Studios: Wedding Photography at The Lake House Inn

I recently put together this short video for The Lake House Inn featuring some of our wedding photography there over the past year. Enjoy.

Kristin and Jason at the Lake House Inn

Kristin and Jason were Married at the Lake House Inn on a gorgeous October afternoon. A lot of my couples seem to be moving away from the mid-summer weddings in Philadelphia and gravitating toward autumn weddings in September, October and even November. When they do, this is the kind of day they hope to dial up.

I've shot a couple weddings at the Lake House Inn in Perkasie. There really isn't another place like it. Their attention to every detail makes our photography better. A photogenic and fun couple like Kristin and Jason make our photography better too.

I think you can tell by the photos how enjoyable it was to be around these two for the day. All I typically ask of my couples is to have fun and enjoy themselves. Beautiful photography typically takes care of itself from there. Congratulations to Kristin and Jason.

Angie and John at Talamore Country Club

Angie and John were married on a beautiful fall evening in October. We've known Angie since we moved back to the East Coast. She and my wife work together at the American Red Cross and became fast friends. Angie and John were guests at our wedding two years ago. We see them often and enjoy their company. We've been looking forward to their wedding as we were also guests on this particular night.

Congratulations to John and Angie and thanks for a perfect evening!!!

Brigitte and Ryan at the Northhampton Valley Country Club

Brigitte and Ryan were married at St. Adalbert Church on E. Allegheny Ave in Philadelphia. We were able to squeeze in some photography around the city in between the raindrops. We did the best we could and had some fun with it along the way. Skies cleared by the time we got back to The Northhampton Valley Country Club in Richboro. We had plenty of opportunity to photograph on their beautiful grounds before the reception.

Brigitte and Ryan's first dance was top secret. Not even the DJ, Kim Alexander Walsh, (who also spun the tunes at my very own wedding two years earlier) would let me in on all the details. It was a first dance of all first dances. It had all the elements of every special first dance I've photographed, but this one had an extra shot of adrenaline. In between your standard slow number was a montage of about 10 songs where they took turns on the floor. I'm not sure if I could describe it better if I remembered all the tunes and I hope that you could get a sense of it in only 2 dimensions, but as I told my second photographer that night, I think it was the most fun I've ever had watching a first dance unfold. Clearly Brigitte and Ryan spent a lot of time on it and it showed.

Great day, great friends and family and a great place to have a wedding. Congratulations again to Brigitte and Ryan.

Andrea and Rich at The Inn at Penn

Andrea and Rich were married this past Labor Day weekend at the beautiful Inn at Penn in Philadelphia. I've mentioned in a previous posting that I really enjoy shooting at the Inn. It's spacious and the light is great throughout. Andrea and Rich saw each other for the first time that day in the Bridal Suite and we all went to shoot portraits through the city thereafter. The Love Statue, Logan Circle and around the Art Museum. These are typical stops for us, but we always try and find something a little different each time around. The backdrop remains the same, but the passers-by, the weather, the lighting and especially the personality of the bridal parties...it always gives us a different look. This group was fun. Start to finish. Andrea and Rich were continually proactive with the pictures which I always appreciate. We were thrilled to be a part of their day and were made to feel very much at home by both families. I think the photographs show just how much fun they had. Thanks!
