Geniene and Andrew Saucon Valley Wedding Photography

Trevor — Fri, 22 Aug 2014 17:06:29 +0000

I had the pleasure to photograph Andrew and Geniene’s wedding last month. I have known them for a number of years and I was honored that they asked me to be their photographer. The day got started at Hotel Bethlehem, where Geniene was getting ready with her close friends. At the same time, Andrew was getting ready with one of our own, Trai Guzie (Bar None Cinematographer). When hair, make-up and the dress were all in place, we headed to a private residence for their first look. Out of all the years I have been a photographer, this was the most touching first meet that I have done. Andrew and Geniene have a special love for each other and it certainly showed at that moment. He was in awe of Geniene and how beautiful she looked. After we took a few formals we headed to the ceremony and reception site. It always a nice choice to have an outdoor ceremony. It makes for some really nice photos. The night was filled with tons of fun and lots of love. I with Andrew and Geniene a lifetime of happiness.

Corrina and Chris Wedding at Riverview Country Club

Trevor — Mon, 14 Jul 2014 18:02:27 +0000

Corrina and Chris had a beautiful wedding a few weeks ago at Riverview Country Club, with the full Bar None package. We started off the day at the Hampton Inn located in Easton, Pa. Thats where Trai and I met up with Corrina and the bridesmaids. Before we left the hotel, Corrina and her father shed a few tears during the father-daughter first reveal. Her father was blown away by how beautiful his daughter looked. Then we headed over to their ceremony at the gorgeous outdoor ceremony site at Riverview. Its such a beautiful venue, making for a picture perfect evening which included lots of great food, laughs, dancing and a perfect sunset.

Gia and Justin at DeSales University

Trevor — Fri, 27 Dec 2013 01:36:30 +0000

Few of the couples I’ve had the pleasure of photographing have been as sweet and gentle as our most recent couple, Gia and Justin. They had their beautiful wedding at DeSales University from start to finish, and it was nothing short of spectacular. While we had the season working against us with an inconveniently early sunset, we made some stunning silhouettes against the stained glass of the church, and enjoyed some comfy moments near the university fireplace. I think we captured some beautiful memories, and wish Gia and Justin all the best in their endeavors as husband and wife!

Lia and Zach’s wedding photography at Blue Grillhouse

Trevor — Fri, 22 Nov 2013 17:12:42 +0000

Lia and Zach are such a sweet couple! I met them over a year ago at a memorial day party that I was photographing for another client. Who knew that a few months later, Lia would contact me about being the photographer for their upcoming wedding. I was very much appreciative of them wanting me to capture their special day. Boy was I looking forward to their wedding for quite sometime. First of all, it was a fall wedding in the lehigh valley. Sometimes you forgot just how gorgeous it truly is in the fall! Then on top of that, they picked a great venue for their reception. Caroline and the crew at the Event Center at Blue are phenomenal at what they do. Their food and hospitality are arguably one the best complete packages in the valley. Their day was absolutely perfect and one that I wish didn’t have to end. Here are a few images we captured!

Paige and Justin Engagement Photography

Trevor — Tue, 19 Nov 2013 21:52:26 +0000

Besides getting lost and driving around the Kutztown country side (which might I add is beautiful), what a gorgeous fall day for an engagement shoot!! Paige and Justin hired me for their wedding next summer, so they wanted some engagement photos for their save-the-dates. Also, they wanted to get used to being in front of the camera in preparation for their wedding. Well, they didnt seem to need much direction. They warmed up to the camera pretty fast and seemed to enjoy their day together.

There are many reasons it’s important to take engagement photos once you make it official. As a couple who likely has never been photographed professionally before, the engagement session is one of the greatest services you and your fiancé can take advantage of prior to your wedding. Some couples may feel it’s a waste of time or isn’t necessary, but there are many valuable reasons why you’ll benefit from utilizing this opportunity.

Establishing a relationship with your photographer before your wedding will make a difference in the outcome of your wedding photos. Spend about an hour or two getting to know your pro, listening to them, having fun with them, and then get photographed. They’ll take note of how you interact with each other, your individual personalities and even your quirks. These details will help them capture moments on the wedding day that are unique to just the two of you.

Kensi and Tommy at Saucon Valley Acres

Trevor — Thu, 14 Nov 2013 19:49:22 +0000

Kensi and Tom’s wedding was one of my favorite this year. Both with such kind and sweet personalities, I cannot imagine a couple that is a more perfect match. Watching them together, you could see how deep their love for each other runs, and I feel so blessed that I got to be a part of such an important day for them. It was full of love and lots of laughter, smiles and happy tears. Its weddings like this one that makes me love what I do, and I hope they are as happy with the photos as I am!

Corrina and Chris Engagement Photography

Trevor — Fri, 25 Oct 2013 13:00:52 +0000

Corrina and Chris chose to have their engagement shoot at a place that was very special to her. They were originally going to have their engagement shoot at a public location like the allentown fair. It sounded like a pretty unique idea but it had no meaning to them. Instead they chose a special place from Corrina’s childhood. The Laurys Station Fire Company was very close to her childhood home where she made so many neat memories while playing on the baseball field, nature trail and old playground. Its all built up with 3 new fields and a new playground for the kids, but some of the old things are still there. One being the fire company which her grandfather was a volunteer. I have posted a few of my favorite photos from the day.

Christine and Filipe at Hotel Bethlehem

Trevor — Mon, 29 Jul 2013 05:42:23 +0000

Christine was one of the nicest women I have met, and her bridesmaids were equally matched. An animal-loving bunch, there was no absence of furry friends to cuddle and kiss in the Peters household, which made it wonderfully warm and welcoming. Chirstine and Filipe chose a lovely location for their ceremony, a church in downtown Bethlehem, which made for a perfect creative session near all the colonial buildings alongside Monocacy Creek. We then cooled off from the summer heat in the beautiful Hotel Bethlehem, where they held quite a rockin’ reception. Christine even threw in some personal surprises for her new husband, including a zombie-cake just for him in honor of his love for The Walking Dead. Below, I have posted a few of my favorite photos from the day.

How to look your best in your wedding photos

There’s no reason to just wing it. Take a few extra measures to guarantee you look your best in photos with these camera-sesh strategies.

By Simone Hill

Before The Wedding Day

Practice smiling
We know it sounds a little funny, but practice makes perfect, even when it comes to your smile. We want you to look natural — that means be comfortable with your smile and own it. Model and actress Beau Dunn, who works on cosmetics campaigns and TV shows, suggests taping favorite photos of yourself (or celebs on the red carpet) to the mirror and mimicking the poses and expressions. Trust us, the more you do it, the more natural it’ll feel.

Whiten your teeth
A pretty smile will radiate with pearly whites. For a brighter smile that will make you feel more confident, try Crest 3D White Professional Effects Whitestrips ($50, Crest.com). For best results, get a professional cleaning to remove plaque before beginning a whitening treatment and use a toothpaste for sensitive teeth two days prior to using the strips.

Get a manicure
That ring deserves to have its picture taken, and you want your fingers to look pretty! Celeb wedding photographer Jasmine Star reminds all of her clients to get a manicure before an engagement shoot.

Do your homework
Ask your photographer for links to their favorite sessions. This will give you an idea of what to expect for your photos (both engagement and wedding).

Decide on a location
“Find a spot that reflects your love and a place where you’ll both feel comfortable,” suggests Star. It could be anywhere. When researching locations for wedding photos, make sure you’re not required to have a permit to shoot there. That could put a constraint on how much time you have and affect your photos.

Have a hair and makeup trial
Do a hair and makeup trial before the wedding day so that you make sure you like the look. Take photos to see how the look translates in pictures. Wear a makeup primer under your foundation to combat extra shine from the camera flash and to keep a matte complexion. Try Smashbox Photo Finish foundation primer ($36, Smashbox.com).

On the Wedding Day

Smile with your eyes
Connect and engage with the camera. It doesn’t matter if you show your teeth or not. Think about the new memories you’re making and even laugh just for the fun of it. It’s your wedding day!

Try the classic red-carpet pose
Another model trick: Angle your body to the camera so that you’re not getting shot straight on (it creates a slimmer profile), put your weight on your back foot and smile. Practice various versions for what works best for you; then make it your trademark. If you feel you have a “good side,” use it!

Make your eyes appear larger
Lean your chin and neck slightly toward the camera, look up to make your eyes appear larger and raise your eyebrows.

Elongate your neck
Elongate your neck by lowering your shoulder toward the camera and lifting your chin up.

Don’t press your arms against your body
Create a small separation between your body and your arms. “This trick not only makes your arms look smaller, but defines your waistline, which makes your torso appear slimmer,” says Dunn.

Hold your bouquet at your hip
You don’t want to look like you’re hiding behind your bouquet or blocking your wedding gown. Instead, keep your forearm at a 45-degree angle to make your body look long and lean.

Rose & Chad at Green Pond Country Club

Trevor — Mon, 31 Dec 2012 05:09:09 +0000

I was privileged to be the photographer for Rose and Chad’s wedding celebration. Both the groomsmen and bridesmaids got ready at the Best Western Conference Center. Here we also had their first meet once everyone was ready. Chad seemed quite blown away by the beauty of his soon-to-be wife. Before the ceremony and reception, we stopped at the beautiful Monocacy Creek Park to take a few pictures. It was the perfect backdrop for the formals and bridal party portraits. The couple then spent the evening celebrating with friends and family at Green Pond Country Club in Bethlehem for both their ceremony and reception. The room was full of love and laughter as everyone danced the night away. Here are a few of my favorite photos from their special day.
