September 2nd Wedding

Perhaps one of the most unique wedding I have seen!!! This beautiful Labor Day weekend took us to Sommerset, PA, to the mountains and rolling hills of farms. The wedding of Valerie and Austin took place at Mt. Calvery Church.

We showed up to take some great shots of the bride and her girls preparing for the day. As we were finishing up, this rumbling sound came from outside the church, loud enough to shake the walls. The bride said "here comes the trucks." I stepped outside to see what was going on... up infront of the church drives 4 big-rig (tractor trailer) trucks and 1 tow truck. The groom and all of his men were truck drivers and they used their own trucks as transportation for the day! The groom was going to wisk his bride away in his semi!!

The ceremony went great, and Valorie looked great! This was a hometown wedding that I was so happy to be a part of (I grew up down the road from here in Mt. Pleasant). After the ceremony, we did some pictures, and everyone climbed into their trucks and headed to the reception!

The reception was held at the very unique "Hayloft". It is an old barn, redone to a reception facility. So beautiful and perfect for this wedding! The reception was a blast. We did some more of the "formal stuff", and then the party started. The dance floor was packed all night. It was time for us to leave, and I walked away saying "I really wish we didn't have so far of a drive, or I'd stay longer just to watch!" They were having such a good time! CONGRATULATION AND BEST WISHES VAL AND AUZZIE!!
