A great day was planned for the marriage of Christine and Tom at The Union League....nbsp; Christine and Tom's families, both very prominent, had a wonderful time....nbsp; They were a pleasure to work with from the beginning of the day through the reception. It was a little hectic with a tight time schedule, but we still managed to get in a few different locations for this couple; especially Rittenhouse Square, where this couple had many meaningful times together as they were dating....nbsp;...nbsp; Diana McGarvey and her staff at The Union League had, as always, everything running like a well-oiled machine, and they were very accommodating....nbsp; The ballroom looked absolutely beautiful with the floral decorating talents of Carl Alan Floral Designs....nbsp; We also had the pleasure to work along side...nbsp;our good friends from Video Coverage as they provided those precious video moments....nbsp; We created some beautiful images, as I am sure you will agree.

Up the NJ Turnpike we went on Saturday for the 2nd of a 3 Wedding Weekend....nbsp; We knew this couple would be fun - as we had a blast photographing their GTKY Session on the Brooklyn Bridge and they did not disappoint....nbsp; Crystal and Jason are one of a few couples that have come in as referrals from a current Bride this year who referred them to us before any of her pictures were even taken. The Church was like a version of Villanova's Chapel very classy and elegant, and then we were off to Lambert Castle for some stunning wedding images. The Brownstone was a sensational reception site for this couple....nbsp; As a matter of fact, special thanks goes out to the Bride ...amp; Groom, their families and the staff at The Brownstone - for making us feel at home; where we actually enjoyed our dinner in the reception room with their guests - something that is quite unheard of!...nbsp; It was very thoughtful gesture....nbsp; The dance floor shook all night long as their band Daybreak Orchestra kept everyone on the floor with minimal breaks, and non-stop energy!...nbsp; My good friends from Video Coverage, captured all of their video moments - it is great to work together again....nbsp; Hope you enjoy these images as much as we had capturing them and spending our day with this couple, their families, and their bridal party.

Casey and Brian July 31, 2011 The Scranton Cultural Center http://www.gerardtomkophotography.com/journal.cfm?postID=137 http://www.gerardtomkophotography.com/journal.cfm?postID=137 Tue, 03 Aug 2010 12:34:00 GMT Normal.dotm 0 0 1 213 1215 Gerard Tomko Photography 10 2 1492 12.0

This wedding was a blast to be at! I traveled to my hometown Friday to prepare for the next day by stopping at some of my favorite places, which included a visit and dinner with my parents....nbsp; This whole trip brought back memories as I grew up with the bride's parents, knew their brothers and sisters - it was like old home week...lol and I got to catch up with a few of the guests at the reception that I had known growing up....nbsp; But now for the wedding! Everything ran real smooth and on time, a credit to the couple for being very organized and a salon that had everyone ready!...nbsp; Casey and Brian were a pleasure to work with, not to mention an honor, as Casey is named after her late Grandfather, Governor Robert P. Casey....nbsp; I have no doubt this was the wedding of the weekend to be at, with even her uncle Senator Robert Casey in attendance....nbsp; Going around Scranton - Home of The Office, taking pictures was so much fun....nbsp; Erin Speicher and Kelly Harrington from the Scranton Cultural Center were a great team and everything was perfect for this couple - the room looked awesome due to the decorating talents of White's Country Floral. Jellyroll made the trip up the Turnpike for this one as well, and they kept this fantastic crowd on the dance floor all night long - screaming ONE MORE SONG at the End!...nbsp; Relax and Enjoy - Thanks Brian and Casey, it meant a lot to us to be a part of your day!

Jamie and Paul GTKY Session in Philadelphia http://www.gerardtomkophotography.com/journal.cfm?postID=135 http://www.gerardtomkophotography.com/journal.cfm?postID=135 Thu, 29 Jul 2010 08:29:00 GMT Normal 0 0 1 164 937 Gerard Tomko Photography 7 1 1150 11.1287

July 2011 is shaping up to be one of the busiest months next year with my son's wedding and the wedding the week before - Jamie and Paul. ...nbsp;We have already forged a great relationship with this couple, since every time I turn around Jamie knows someone I know and vice versa. ...nbsp;Then of course the fact she's probably one of my only brides who I can sit and talk sports with and she knows A TON more than I ever will....nbsp; Jamie being Jamie Apody, the best sportscaster in the area for Action News....nbsp; And Paul is no slouch in the sports department either, having been a football player for Widener University....nbsp; As you can tell from their GTKY session pics, this couple had a ton of fun as they just did their thing, and all we had to do was focus and shoot. It...rsquo;s great to have couples like them and many of my other brides were we laugh, joke and enjoy the moment so it doesn...rsquo;t feel like work at all. Hope you enjoy these as much as Amy and I did.
