It's the lunar module!!!!  No just kidding - it's actually a lookout tower.  Over the weekend Anna and I had the huge privilege to document Scot and Aimee's wedding at the Penn Scenic View near Somerset, PA.  I won't give away the details, but there was a scenic view, an ice cream sundae bar, bluegrass musicians, a first look !, salmon on the grill, a lake with an island, and goldfish the size of poodles.  In short, we got there early and stayed late :-)

After the last song, Anna and I went up on top of the hill to check out the sky.  I had an idea - I remember back when I met Scot and Aimee for the first time we talked about how cool it would be to get fireflies in their wedding photos.  And wouldn't you know, after a week of 90 degree temperatures, we had a refreshing rain on friday and then saturday was comfortably cool - this also meant no fireflies to be found anywhere.  So what was the next best thing?  The stars :-)  I didn't want to disappoint - so we spent about an hour on top of the hill at the lookout tower after the wedding doing some long exposures of the glittering night sky.  Since we were far away from the lights of the city, the the stars were extra bright.  For this shot with the lookout tower, we used a technique called 'painting with light'. 

Then it was a 2 hour drive home - but it was nice - we rolled along the turnpike going over the day and our favorite shots. 

Aimee & Scot - if you're reading this - I hope your breakfast on the beach was perfect :-D  Have a great honeymoon!

Sunday after a long sleep in, Sean and I hung out for the afternoon and went to Jerry's Custard for 'dinner' ;-) 

The flavor of the week is BANANA :-)   !!!

Starting to tomorrow I'm going to try to blog five weddings in five days to try to start catching up on blogging - stay tuned and cheer me on with comments!
