This past weekend I was fortunate enough to provide photography for Ryan and Megan’s wedding and reception in Mars, PA.

Meghan was smiling when we arrived, and I swear that smile never left her face.

Her and Ryan make a wonderful couple and the entire day and evening was very special.

The FineLine Team was very happy for the opportunity to provide Photography and our Photo Booth for Stephanie and Charles’ Wedding at the Latrobe First Church of God in Latrobe, PA and Reception at the Colonial Inn in Ligonier, PA on April 14, 2012.

This Wedding and Colonial Inn Reception took place during the day, which was a nice change of pace for our team. We loved Stephanie’s sense of style, very classic yet unique! We also had the good fortune of finding an incredible car right across the street from the church to photograph the groom next to. The Colonial Inn was a lovely reception location for a smaller party and we were so excited to take the bouquet and garter toss to the lawn!

The FineLine team would like to thank Stephanie and Charles for including us in their special day and wish them a future full of happiness!

About The Colonial Inn

“The Colonial Inn Restaurant is located two miles west of Ligonier on Route 30. Colonial Inn was was originally a roadside shop, in the early 1900s selling gifts and serving only tea. It was converted into a restaurant in the early thirties. In 1947, the Smith family took over this beautiful building and built a solid clientele by providing excellent service and quality dishes that only we have been compared to since.” – Official Colonial Inn Website
