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.

Cindy and Craig July 10, 2010 Villanova Conference Center http://www.gerardtomko.com/journal.cfm?postID=125 http://www.gerardtomko.com/journal.cfm?postID=125 Tue, 13 Jul 2010 08:52:00 GMT Normal 0 0 1 108 620 Gerard Tomko Photography 5 1 761 11.1287

The start of another Double Header Weekend, it did not look to promising weather-wise as it was literally pouring in the morning....nbsp; But as luck would have it, it stopped before the ceremony and held off for the rest of the day, and we are all so glad it did!...nbsp; Cindy's family knows how to throw a party, since we had already had photographed her sister's wedding, we knew this party was going to be in HIGH GEAR!...nbsp; The Villanova Conference Center is a beautiful venue for a wedding, with many great locations built in for some stunning pictures, which you will soon see. The nice thing about the morning storms was it created fantastic natural lighting, in additional to the ambiance of the Conference Center, it made Cindy and Craig...rsquo;s images jump out. Synergetic Sounds kept the dance floor filled all night and Long Stems Florist did a wonderful job transforming the ballroom into a colorful wonderland.

Deanna and Mark's GTKY Session http://www.gerardtomko.com/journal.cfm?postID=124 http://www.gerardtomko.com/journal.cfm?postID=124 Wed, 07 Jul 2010 15:24:00 GMT Normal 0 0 1 78 445 Gerard Tomko Photography 3 1 546 11.1287

Deanna and Mark are a nice, classy couple whose wedding we are doing in December....nbsp; Deanna was a little worried about the fact that her wedding pictures would be taken at night because of the shorter daylight hours in the winter....nbsp; So to help quell her fears, we decided to do some sunset and night shots at the Art Museum....nbsp; Here are some samples, and no more fears about night shots from this bride :) On a different note ironically enough I found out after friending them on Facebook that Deanna and I share the same birthday! What a small world!

Laurie and Kevin July 2, 2010 Madison Hotel http://www.gerardtomko.com/journal.cfm?postID=122 http://www.gerardtomko.com/journal.cfm?postID=122 Tue, 06 Jul 2010 12:37:00 GMT Normal 0 0 1 199 1138 Gerard Tomko Photography 9 2 1397 11.1287

Well we have been looking forward to this wedding for a while..........you see Laurie has recommended me to at least 4 brides before I even took one picture of her....nbsp; She has been one of my best salespeople.......lol....nbsp; So the pressure was on, since those brides were going to be at this wedding!...nbsp; Anyway this couple, like all my other couples, was awesome to work with and spend the day with!...nbsp; And omg so easy to photograph (Kevin had some modeling experience) so this was an awesome wedding to be a part of....nbsp; And since I know some of their friends, I knew this was going to be a party- and a party it was!...nbsp; A special thanks to long time friend Eric Schollenberger, for helping out for this wedding, as it was right in his back yard....nbsp; The Madison Hotel, in its entire elegant splendor, was an awesome venue to work at, everyone was treated very well. It's so nice to visit a venue out of your area like this, where everyone is on the same page....nbsp; The Dj - Chuck Russo played some real great dance tunes, some you would never hear at a wedding, and I am sure the next day there was a lot of hurting cowboys.....lol....nbsp; And as always my good friend Doug Rivers...nbsp;who we have worked together closely for over 20 years, captured everything on video, so all bases were covered....nbsp; Hope you enjoy!
