KATIE & MIKE | HANOVER COUNTRY CLUB | ABBOTTSTOWN, PA

The wedding of Katie & Mike was captured by York PA Wedding Photographer, Royce Images Photography. Their day at The Hanover Country Club was romantic, filled with happy emotions and lots and lots of love.

It was a truly beautiful day for this lovely couple. The day of their wedding was picture perfect weather. Warm and sunny, but not too hot  as it was the last Saturday in June. As we arrived at The Hanover Country Club, we stopped for a few photos to begin telling Katie and Mike’s love story.

I then began to collect the bride’s special items and find an area to capture her details. From her her gorgeous engagement ring, to the personally made wedding ring holder, I arranged and captured all the items. I’m a sucker for details and they surely had quite a few unique items.

The other ladies were diligently working on their hair and makeup, sharing mirror space and giggling. Each of them were looking wonderful. However, the bride looked the most beautiful with her long, blonde tresses and radiant smile. Even the ring bearer was excited!Katie & Mike Duttera Wedding - York PA Wedding Photographer - The Hanover Country Club

I loved the details and design of Mike’s wedding band. Very unique and eye-catching. The blending of all the rings designed for these two was perfect to showcase their love.

However, by the time I arrived they had already made their way to the bar to have a few drinks and calm any nerves. If Mike was nervous, I couldn’t tell. This groom was cool and collected. We did arrive back at the staging area and captured a few indoor photos before we made our way outside to enjoy some time with the picturesque surrounds of the Country Club. Much laughter and antics unfolded before my lens. What a fun bunch!

The girls were ready for their photos. Katie was also calm and collected. Just maybe a few butterflies but her girls kept her busy and happy. What beauties they were in front of my lens.

Katie & Mike wanted to do the traditional wedding with the groom seeing the bride for the first time walking down the aisle on the arm of her father. WOW! What a moment. Mike was so taken with Katie that he cried. He wiped away quite a few tears as Katie arrived at the gazebo where her grandfather was waiting to perform the ceremony.
